I was woken up this morning to the sound of a torrential downpour happening just outside our windows. It was pitch black and the whole bedroom felt cool, dark, and safe, exactly the kind of combination that makes it extremely hard to get out of bed.

Progress is happening at the farm house!

Some great advice if you’re looking to help your child read better!

This past weekend, the boys helped us pick fresh blackberries from all the bushes we have at the farm, and it made me realize something.

A rundown of our very good day.
