I think I am getting some sort of a stride for the seasons on the farm now that I have lived here five years. I can't believe it has been five years! The first couple we were surviving the move and the pace of life with 5 kids and a single momma going to college, working and homeschooling kids.
Now we are all a bit older..ahem! Everyone but me right? We have learned a bit and this year is all about living intentionally. It's hard work, but seeing the results that happen when some work is done has yielded amazing stuff how could I not work harder? BUT, we want smart working...that means making a plan and this girl looooooves lists. :)
Join me for some plannin'?
