🐔🐰 **Farm Update: The Highs, the Lows, and Moving Forward** 🚜✨

Hey everyone, we wanted to check in and give you an honest update on how things have been going. It’s been 38 days since we officially left the rental! Our transition started a bit before that—we moved the chickens over about 15 days before our move-out date, and the bunnies about a week before.

Sadly, this transition has come with some really heartbreaking lessons. Because we didn't have the best predator-proofing set up yet, we have lost almost our entire flock. In this short time, we were down to just one hen, our sweet Ms. Mary.

To make matters tougher, vehicle issues have delayed us from moving our camper out to the property. Today, when we went to check on things, we were hit with more sad news: our rooster, Fred, was nowhere to be found. 💔

Because of this, we’ve made the decision to bring Ms. Mary back with us for now. She’ll stay safe with us until we get the electricity hooked up at the property and can officially move out there ourselves.
But out of this heartbreak, there is still hope. Today we collected the last 3 eggs from the coop, which are very likely fertilized by Fred. We are placing them right into the incubator, hoping to keep his legacy alive. 🥚❤️

**What’s next for the farm?**
We aren't giving up! We plan to start rebuilding our flock by the end of this month. Before we do, we are focusing heavily on building a much more secure, predator-proof run and a secondary coop to keep everyone safe. 🛠️🔒

We also want to bring you all along for the ride more than we have been. As we rebuild from the ground up, we’ll be **going LIVE on a daily basis**, sharing the raw, real behind-the-scenes look at homesteading.

Up first on the agenda: This week, we are diving in and working on rebuilding our garden! 🌱🍅

Thank you all so much for your support through the ups and downs. We hope you’ll follow along as we start this next chapter! 👇

Well… we’re moving. Don’t panic. It’s not like we’re disappearing into the wilderness with no Wi-Fi and starting a secret chicken society (although the chickens did vote on it 🐔).

We’re just heading not too far down the road, so you’ve got no excuse not to keep up with us. Make sure you follow along for all our adventures. There will be plenty of chaos, questionable DIY decisions, and chickens that act like they pay rent but absolutely do not.

Help us grow the farm, expand the flock, and produce even more eggs than we know what to do with. At this point, we’re one good laying season away from opening an omelet stand on the side of the road.

Stick with us. Same people, new spot, more chickens, and way more eggs 🥚 plus many more other critters coming soon!

No egg pick up for April, we will provide egg-pdates starting back up in May for Oakleaf and Keystone Heights!!

This weekend we took the kids to enjoy the Northeast Florida Scottish Games & Festival and if it was not evident that JoJo loves farm animals before, I am shocked we did not sneak one home with us!! She pet every goat, donkey, cow, and even every chicken. Then she loved dancing to the music!!

This journey is going to be wild, busy, fun, adventurous, and probably a little hard (yes I have already cried, and lot). But this is the adventure intended for us. So we shall share it every step of the way.

So Brooke and I have this wild idea, well we think its kind of wild and we have been asking family and those important to us their thoughts, basically i was waiting for them to talk us out of it. But i think my dad put it best when i asked why they havent tried to talk us out of it: "Because you seem to learn better if you try then succeed or fail rather than us telling you it is or is not a good idea."

So we have decided instead of continuing to rent and not build our ownselves up, we are going to live in our camper and build on our own land and travel and enjoy some freedom for a bit from some of the burdens holding us back.

For me this is very mentally and emotionally internal, Brooke always supports me and just wants me to be happy. I am following this season in faith. This journey is so much for me and what my heart is saying. Saying i have a purpose, i am not ashamed in what i believe, that creation is purposeful and shows truth, and that truth is hard.

And in Colassians 3:2 it says “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” “Set your mind” isn’t passive. It’s intentional direction.
It’s not saying earthly things don’t matter.
It’s saying don’t let them sit on the throne. Giving things up for a different future is right where i need to be.

So follow this new branch of our journey, it is multi faceted and a little scary, but all in great ways. It wont always be spiritual because I don't share much about my faith publicly. And I want to start by saying — I will never be someone who tries to sway you into believing what I believe. I have my God. You can have yours. You can believe. You can not believe. Just being spiritual is good enough too.

Lent – Day 2

Today I read Matthew 1:18–25.

Joseph is described as a kind man. Not loud. Not showy. Not defensive. Just… kind.

And that speaks to me deeply.

He had every reason to react differently. Every reason to protect his pride. Every reason to hold onto hurt or fear. But he chose quiet obedience and compassion instead.

And it reminds me — all humans can be kind. We all have the ability to choose it.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what I’ve held onto in my life. Possessions. Ideas. Expectations. Old versions of myself. For what need?

In this adventure Brooke and I are stepping into, I’m realizing how little I truly need to live well and be happy. And honestly… it’s so much less than what I have.

Letting go will be hard. Some things I’ll release. Some things I’ll store for the future. But the act of loosening my grip feels necessary.

Lent isn’t about gloating over what we’re giving up. It isn’t about announcing sacrifices. And if we’re counting our suffering — are we really honoring what Jesus already gave?

My posts aren’t about showcasing devotion. They’re just my heart on paper. If something I share helps someone else think, soften, or breathe a little easier — that’s enough.

Social media, for me, isn’t toxic. It’s a tool. I reach people. People reach me. It opens my world to perspectives I wouldn’t otherwise see. It teaches me things I wouldn’t have gone looking for on my own.

Technology doesn’t own me. If it did, I don’t think I’d feel so clearly led right now. I wouldn’t feel this steady pull from the Holy Spirit guiding Brooke and me into this next chapter.

And at home, we’re building small rhythms too.
Affirmations in the car.
Prayer before school.
Devotionals together.
And letting Kalli read to us — because she has become the most incredible little reader and it fills me with pride watching her grow.

Kindness.
Letting go.
Trusting obedience over reaction.
That’s what Day 2 feels like.

I haven’t shared much about my faith publicly before. And I want to start by saying — I will never be someone who tries to sway you into believing what I believe. I have my God. You can have yours. You can believe. You can not believe. Just being spiritual (I may believe in Jesus and God, but I believe in the power of the sun, moon, and sage too).

But if there is one thing I will always stand firm on — it’s kindness.

Kindness is not optional in my world. I will forever be the person yelling at Brooke in the passenger seat, “You can choose kindness and just let them over.” Because you can. We always can.

In this big journey Brooke and I — and our kids and our families — are stepping into (I’ll share more about that soon), I feel called to share more of this part of my life too.

This past Sunday, I was baptized into the Presbyterian Church. All three of my children were baptized alongside me, and Brooke joined me in becoming a member of our church. It was sacred and grounding and emotional in the most peaceful way.

I have been part of many religions throughout my life. I’ve searched. I’ve questioned. I’ve wandered. But something has settled in my spirit in this season.

This Lent, I am intentionally going deeper — not just into routine or tradition — but into the “why.” Why I believe what I believe. Why grace matters. Why kindness is commanded. Why lineage and legacy matter.

Reading Matthew 1:1–17 and seeing the genealogy of Jesus — the generations, the broken stories, the unlikely people woven into something holy — it reminded me that none of us are random. None of our stories are wasted. Even the messy parts are used.

And Romans 1 has already begun opening my eyes in ways I can’t wait to share more about soon.

This Ash Wednesday looked simple — dropping my girls off at school. But our car ride started with affirmations and ended in prayer. We prayed for a great day. For courage. For kindness. For good health — because the last six weeks have been heavy on my sweet babies.

And in the quiet of that morning, I felt it so clearly:
Having Jesus and God in my life is guiding me in ways I never would have imagined. This Lenten journey is stretching me, softening me, strengthening me — and leading me into places I never dreamed I would go.

I don’t need everyone to agree with me.

But I do hope we can all choose kindness.

Always.
