A boy and his chicken. A boy and his goat. ❤️

A boy and his chicken. A boy and his goat. ❤️ Oh yeah, we have a baby goat. We named him Walter. I wasn’t really looking for a goat just yet, but a sweet Momma was emotionally overwhelmed and was asking for help. Walter had a difficult birth so he was unable to nurse and won’t yet take a bottle, so he is syringe fed every four hours. Sitting with Walter, feeding him at 4 am.. I was reminded of all the baby feedings and I thought I don’t miss this at all. 😂 But he sure is cute!

We let Miss Maggie out to forage. She was living her best life scratching up all the worms. Too bad her peck isn’t strong enough to bust open all those sprouted coconuts. Whatever you’ve seen on tv, it’s not easy breaking into a coconut, promise.

Chasing caterpillars in trees and raising chickens

Chasing caterpillars in trees and raising chickens is the childhood I dreamed they would have for so long. Just so grateful to God for giving me my heart’s desire, even though I did nothing ever to deserve it. ❤️

If there is an injured animal in need of help, you

If there is an injured animal in need of help, you can bet it’s waiting on my kids to find it. This happens all the time. So it really came as no surprise upon arriving at the park the other day that Annie would instantly find a Mockingbird sitting on the ground unable to move.

Annie: Mom, we have to help it.
Me: Of course, but we were supposed to go for ice cream after the park.
Annie: I would rather help the bird.

After looking at the little guy, I could tell he likely wouldn’t make it. He died en route. Sterling Lance she named him as she does all her rescues, didn’t die alone under the tree. A few weeks ago it was Gloria, an injured dove I woke up to find in my garage in a makeshift habitat. And many more before her!

We returned Sterling Lance to the park and went for ice cream. Every kind of kid flavor available from cotton candy to birthday cake and this child, old soul and all, requests, “One butter pecan cone, please.” I just could not love her more. ❤️

Last week we celebrated my first born turning 13.

Last week we celebrated my first born turning 13. Bittersweet, of course, but aren’t they all? I was not prepared for the many changes in a young boy from 12 to 13. Especially the voice. I didn’t even see it coming. Oh how I miss his high pitched little boy voice. Just looking at pictures from his 12th birthday and comparing them to this one, the baby look has faded away and the beginnings of a young man are taking hold. At 13 he stands nearly 5’8 and is my reacher for all the things. He is a good kid and a simple soul. For his birthday all he asked was for offshore fishing, a chocolate chip cookie cake, and a sushi dinner. He got his first cell phone (no internet or social media), good books, art supplies, and handmade gifts and cards from his siblings. Happy 13th Birthday, Jacks! You were and always will be my best first baby. ❤️

What he lacks in chill, he more than makes up for

What he lacks in chill, he more than makes up for in helping. He always wants to help with all the things. Though I could mostly get things done quicker on my own, it wouldn’t be nearly as good. ❤️

Happy Independence Day, America! We spent the day

Happy Independence Day, America! We spent the day working on our property and catching snakes. I am blessed beyond measure to live in the land of the free, when so many are not. I am free to worship and praise God. Free to have babies. Free to homeschool them. Free to own land. Free to travel. Free to vote. There are people in this world who would give their life and risk it all for what I have. My freedom is not lost on me. ❤️

Far and away my most humbling child. I love you all numbers! Happy 5th birthday (last Friday), my darling boy. ❤️

Lately, I’ve found myself reaching for my big camera longing to record more of our story. It’s been put away for what seems like at least 2 years. I used to document days like this on my blog frequently, but much like my children, the seasons of life require different care. I can see the season changing again and it feels good to be in this familiar space of creating with these great loves of my life.

Last month we closed on a 1923 island cottage on about 4 acres. We just visit for now, but when we do our hearts are so filled. Chickens and goats forthcoming. ❤️

For 2019 books read: Jacks 84, Savannah 92, and Annie 25. They are already setting reading goals for 2020 😍

Savannah celebrated her 11th birthday earlier this

Savannah celebrated her 11th birthday earlier this month and I sort of dropped the ball on posting, but I couldn’t let December wrap up without saying something about my precious daughter. This girl right here is next level. She’s the girl who snuggles her bunny, even after he bit her moments before. She is unwavering in her love. She’s the girl who while stirring the rice, spills it all over the counter, but happily scoops it up and declares, “free samples!” She sees the good. She is non stop laughter. She is LOUD, people. She spends hours painting cards for others and if you’ve been blessed to receive one from her, it’s her whole heart on paper. Give her a cheeseburger and a book to read outside and you can call it good. She’s an absolute light in this dark world. I don’t deserve her, but thank you God for your graces and blessing me so. Happy 11th birthday, Savannah Smiles! ❤️

We bailed on a traditional Thanksgiving this year

We bailed on a traditional Thanksgiving this year and instead feasted on the beauty of the Ten Thousand Islands. We explored the driftwood forests and found several rare shells. There were plenty of live shells to observe and Scruffy kept retrieving them from the water, but none were harmed. We found several washed up crab traps and the kids worked hard to rescue a stone crab who would have soon died like its cage-mates if not for their efforts. It was a Thanksgiving to remember for sure and I’m incredibly thankful everyday that we live in this wonderland of Florida. ❤️❤️❤️
