This summer has been crazy. With two of my siblings getting married (one of them pictured above) my best friend having a baby, baptisms, family reunion trips, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, even a funeral, it feels like we haven't really been home in months. I knew at the beginning of the summer (maybe earlier) that some things in my life were going to have to take a backseat....

I love spring. Every year I watch as the world around me starts to grow, the leaves on the trees, plants coming out of the ground, babies animals start popping up everywhere, even watching my kids grow in their abilities and out of their current sizes of clothing. All around the world turns from dark and dead to bright and beautiful....

Last week we talked about why we compost, how to make a kitchen compost bin, and some mistakes I have done in the past. This week we are going to make your compost bin. The type of compost bin we are making is called a hot compost bin because the bin will naturally heat up your compost and make the process go faster than it would naturally on the forest floor....

In this post I am going to go through what I did to start seeds this year and what I will change for next year!...

Both of my parents grew up on farms. Growing up we would spend our summers exploring my Grandpa’s pastures and bottle feeding my uncle’s calves. I remember my mom telling us stories about butchering chickens and my dad talking about riding his horse to school. Those experiences and stories took ahold of my heart at a young age. I don’t remember a time that I didn’t want to own my own little plot of land, a place where I can grow my own food, raise chickens, and let my kids explore and have adventures they way I did....
