It might surprise you that I don’t sit there with a wooden butter churner, churning butter in my kitchen 😅 there are few ways you can make better with normal kitchen appliances, but this has been my go to lately

So proud of my husband, he completed the training for his new department. It was not easy, it was a long five weeks full of learning …and unlearning. It was physically and mentally exhausting. He does this all while still taking care of his family and the farm on his days off. I know this is just the beginning but I’m just so grateful for such a wonderful man and so so proud to be his wife ❤️

He is risen!
we had a great Easter spending it with friends. We got to watch our beautiful friend and her family get baptized and then played at her house making so many great memories!

Lake Riverside Estates Neighbors 🌻

We’re looking into starting an Azure Standard drop right here inside Lake Riverside Estates, hosted at Lake Cottage Farm.

For those who aren’t familiar, Azure Standard is a company that delivers:
    •    Organic & bulk foods
    •    Clean pantry staples
    •    Natural products
    •    Animal feed & homestead supplies

Instead of driving down the hill, the truck would deliver once a month and neighbors would simply pick up their orders locally.

Before we move forward, we’d love to see if there’s enough interest in the community.

If you’d use an Azure drop here in LRE, comment below or send us a message. If we get enough families interested, we’ll move forward with setting it up.

One week of Quinnie. She has brought our family so much joy 💕

Quinn Willow joined us 1/28/26
5lbs 12oz 19 inches
She is tiny but mighty! Her entrance wasn’t exactly what we wanted, she had a hard time breathing, her oxygen was dipping really low so she was transferred to the NICU right away and i didn’t get to hold her or see her for hours. Ugh it was rough. But as soon as i got out of post op i got in a wheel chair and got to her asap. (Ryan was with her for most of that time thankfully) then we had an interesting NICU nurse not letting us hold her or try to nurse her. I thought maybe protocol? Then i find out later she was just a difficult person, and everyone did not agree. But once shift change happened every nurse was so helpful and amazing assisting us and doing everything to get Quinn back with us. Once she was off oxygen she had a hard time with keeping her blood sugar up(which they said could be related to her restricted growth in my belly) so i was either pumping or nursing for the next day to try to get her anything i could. And just after her 24 hour mark she passed all the tests and came to my room and everything has been smooth sailing ever since. I’m so grateful it worked out that way. The first day wasn’t ideal but we are so blessed to be bringing our tiny baby girl home with us! After all the scares during pregnancy we just didn’t know what to expect. We were preparing to have an extended stay at the NICU at one point, so to only be there for a littler over one day is a huge blessing. God is so good. We appreciate every prayer sent our way and everyone that has checked in and help with our farm as well 🥰 we are feeling so loved and so blessed!
