Let's catch up, shall we?

I’ll be honest I have wanted to press GO on this blog for years but I was too nervous to mess things up. 

Living in fear and worrying about what others think rarely hold me back anymore like they use too. 

So here we go….

Over the years I’ve learned life never really looks exactly as you pictured but in the long run, even through the obstacles, I believe life becomes better than you imagined when you are willing to trust God and put in the work. 

Let’s start right at the beginning. 

I met Keith in September of 2011 at our small county fair, in the most unexpected way. 

It was instant connection and we were inseparable from there. Looking back now we have grown a lot over these last several years and unexpected explains a lot of our life. 

Just after a few months into dating we were thrown for a total curve ball. I had my first grand Mal seizure and diagnosed with genetic epilepsy.

 Something we definitely didn’t see in the cards. 

Not only did it shift the trajectory and outlook on our life it destroyed my confidence and how I felt as a person. 

But as we always have, we learned to navigate our new normal and persevere through. 

Soon after we got married on May 11, 2013 and within just a few years we started having kids. 

It was 3 months after our son was born we purchased our own piece of farm ground, it really felt like ALL the hard work, obstacles and challenges were paying off. 

Not long later we welcomed our second kid, a little girl into the world. 

With farming picking up, whether it was for Keiths boss at the time, our own ground or custom work we were always on the go.

With two young kiddos my mental health plummeted and I felt a lack of identity and purpose in my motherhood journey. 

As a stay at home mom who felt completely burnt out In 2019 I chose to start something for me. For my mental wellness, to increase energy, to feel joy filled + to be able to fully help on the farm. 

What I didn’t know is I would be showing up online to help other moms do the same thing all these years later. 

It was in 2021 we bought our house and took on our first lease. 

2022 we welcomed our second daughter through many trials and tribulations but she has been the spit fire and joy we all needed. 

What I have learned over the last 13 years is there aren’t many things you can choose but YOU get to choose to draw a line in the sand to pave a new path or choose to stay stuck. 

Choose the path that excites you, brings joy and thrills you a bit, as a family we’ve lived a lot of life and we have a lot more to live. 

As we continue to grow our farm, chase our dreams, live a full life, raise our babies and navigate all the in between. 

From being in the trenches of burnout to finding all the tools to feel more energetic, confident and joyful.

I cannot wait to share how important the daily habits are to FEEL good in motherhood, pieces of the farm life , mindset shifts to optimize your energy and joy, more mom life and all the in between right here.

With love,
