My beautiful life

Hey all! Welcome to my first blog post!! As you can see by all the exclamation points I am pretty excited to start this blog :) This will be a first for me so I thought I would start off by introducing myself.
I am a 21 year old wife and mom.
I grew up 20 minutes from my future husband but we didn't meet until the year we were married (more on that in a later post).
I've been a Hoosier all my life.
Growing up I was (and still can be) a tomboy.
I have 3 brothers and 3 sisters.
My wonderful mother homeschooled us and I was always the best in my class (homeschool joke).
For part of my childhood we raised sheep. I sure love those stupid but sweet animals (if you've raised sheep you'll know what I'm talking about). I have always LOVED animals!
Clay (he's my husband) and I have been married a little over 2 years now. He is an amazing husband and dad to our active 9 month old boy, Charles. I hate to brag but I've been told that he is pretty darn cute!
What I hope to accomplish with this little blog of mine is to encourage wives and mothers in their daily lives. I want to spread the hope, love, and joy of Jesus my savior. Without Him I would be so lost.
I also want to give you a glimpse into my life as a farm mom and farmers wife.
I hope you enjoy and are encouraged after reading each of my posts!
Thank you all for reading and have a very 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...
