There’s No Place Like Home in Kansas

For as long as I can remember, Jershon and I have talked about how someday we wanted to buy a house and have a little bit of land.  The details of this dream were pretty vague until a couple years ago when we spent a few months learning about our Swedish ancestors and heritage. Those...

Our Farm: Lille Myregård

I have been meaning to post about life at the farm for a while now.  Unpacking, getting settled, Christmas, homeschooling, and starting a brand new lifestyle (complete with animals) all at the same time has made this post take a lot longer to get around to writing.  haha.

A few days before she died, we noticed that one of her eyes was swollen shut and she wasn’t acting normal. In my google research,...

Farm Animals: Chicks

At the beginning of May (a week before my due date) we got some chicks!  A couple months before that, we had picked out a few breeds that we wanted and ordered them from a hatchery.  We had to wait until they would all be available to hatch and then send to us so we...
