Dating a farmer

Ladies, here are several tips when dating a farmer...

1. Farmers work a lot! The busy season for most farmers is Spring and Fall. If you are dating a cattle/livestock farmer don't forget the hay season which is all Summer long. So if you want to spend time with him be prepared to ride in the tractor a lot!

2. Be flexible. Farmers never clock out so be prepared to change your schedule.

3. Be prepared to get dirty. This applies mostly to the livestock part of farming. I remember the second or third time I came out to my future husband's farm I helped him with a down calf. Which leads me to my 4th tip...

4. Wear comfortable farm clothes (and no I don't mean sweatpants or leggings). A brand new cute outfit is just going to get ruined. You can still look cute in a t-shirt and jeans!

5. Two words cowboy boots!

6. Help out! If you aren't willing to help out around the farm it ain't for you 😉

7. Be interested. Ask questions about farming. I believe guys like to be asked about what happens and how things work on the farm.

8. Spend time getting to know the family as well. Most farms are family owned and operated so getting to know and be apart of the family is actually a big deal. Who knows, they could be your family someday!

9. Pray for him. This tip may seem different but it is the most important. A farmer's job can be dangerous at times so praying for his safety is very important!

I hope these tips help you out! I know dating a farmer is very exciting but being married to one is even better ❤

Have a blessed day!

December recap

 Baby number 4 is a BOY!!! Harley was born a few days before Christmas. He weighed 10lbs 3oz and 22 inches long! My biggest baby and another short birth. We arrived at the hospital about an hour before he was born. I am so grateful that this birth was also blessed and my doctor and nurses were amazing! My husband is my biggest support during labor and he really helped me through each painful contraction. I love him so much! Me and Harley are doing well and were able to come home before Christmas! We are so grateful! Christmas was a bit different this year with a brand new baby but we made it work! Lots of resting and thankfully all our Christmas prep paid off!  The kids love the new baby which made this holiday season even more special.  Before baby boy arrived we took some time to enjoy the Christmas season and went shopping with the kids, drove around looking for lights, made paper snowflakes, baked cookies, watched lots of Christmas movies, and finished up Christmas sh...

My first quilt

Image
 I just recently learned how to quilt and finished up my very first quilted project. Now, I'm used to cutting up old torn quilts and remaking them into new items that can be used for many more years but I never had the courage or faith in myself to try and make my own quilt. Math was not (is not) my strong suit and I was even worse as geometry, it makes my brain hurt haha! But it's good to try things that stretch your imagination every once in a while! When I talked to my good friend about my interest in trying she jumped right on board and even bought an awesome vintage quilt book that has been a game changer for learning how to quilt! I highly recommend this book if you are wanting to learn how to quilt. I promise you can do it! Here's my first finished quilt!!!! We decided on trying the Ohio Star pattern first and even though it is a little more difficult it is just squares and triangles arranged in a certain pattern. I had so much fun with this piece and learned a thing...

September Recap

 September for us normally means the start of Harvest season, warm days and cool nights, getting back into the groove of things after the end of Summer. I love the change in the weather in our area. The hot humid days are behind us and cool evenings are a nice relief. The different smells that Fall and harvest bring to the country along with the changing colors to the trees. Fall is one of my favorite seasons. This September started off different from the rest and has forced me to slow down by quite a bit. I had been feeling more contractions around the beginning/middle of September but kept putting them off since I have grown used to Braxton Hicks in all of my pregnancies. After this continued off and on for a week I decided it was time to call my doctors and make sure everything was fine, better safe than sorry. I expected them to say all looks good it's just your normal wear and tear but that was not the case. My cervix was funneling and my contractions were coming pretty regula...
