4th of July 2021

I have over a week under my belt since starting this “mental toughness” project. When I complete it in September I will share all that I’ve learned, progress, and exactly what I’ve been doing. But for now, I wanted to share a few tidbits on what I’ve come to realize in the last week. I […]

On to Week 2: Mental Toughness

I had the opportunity to sit down with Danna Larson of Rural Revival in April and talk about Farm Girl’s new location, rebranding, Hayfield Meals, Home Design, and all of the things and projects going on within my Brand. I’ve loved listening to her show for years and it was an honor to share my […]

Rural Revival

Mulberry……as you know, I love my Longhorns. It’s not my family’s first choice of cattle or what the Rafter PS Ranch has the majority of. My herd is small, but growing. I hope one day to have several and need another piece of land to raise them all. I love what they embody, their hardiness, and let’s […]

The kids had a ball and us parents did too. There was also a unicorn appearance! Our friends brought their mini pony […]

Scout’s 6th Birthday Party

I try my best to get the girls photos of just them each birthday. I don’t always accomplish this but we were able to have my friend come over last weekend to snap some of Scout. I cannot believe our baby is six years old already. Time flies with the second one and they grow […]

Scout is 6

I made these glorified baked potatoes last night and they were a hit! It was super easy and didn’t require a ton of cleanup or make a mess. I’ll gladly carry the title of “Queen of the Crockpot” because it’s my most used kitchen appliance. No shame in my game, y’all. You can make about […]
