Our entire flock right here! Including two roosters 😬 (one of which I need to re-home, any takers 😂). We get about two eggs a day right now, so I can’t wait to add more hens and get the eggs we need! The kids want chicks too, so we’ll probably go from not enough chickens to way too many! I guess I really can’t say no, the hatching of chicks is a good homeschool lesson...😆 #chickens #chickensofinstagram #rurallife #farmher #smallfarm #homesteader #homesteadinglife #homesteadlife #homestead #backyardfarm #thisishowwehomeschool

When you catch a glimpse of your baby and can see how they’ll look when they’re older. 😍 I was changing his diaper in the van while Bryan ran in to the store, and as Brandon turned his head I could see him, 16 years old, standing in our kitchen eating a snack (oh the grocery bills when all 5 kids are grown 🤪), telling me all about his adventures riding his 4 wheeler and helping his dad restore an old tractor. 🚜 For now, I’m glad he’s still my little baby, crying immediately when the van stops, nursing approximately 5437 times a day, and staring at me with those bright little blue eyes! ❤️ #momlife #treasuringlittlemoments #treasuringeverymoment #raisethemup #raisinglittles #mamahood #lifeofamom #thankfulmama #breastfedbaby #unitedinmotherhood #findmoments #thesearethedays #pocket_sweetness #smallandmighty #littlepiecesofchildhood #blessedmama #momofmany #motherhoodjourney #postpartumjourney #postpartumlife

This old chair has been such a blessing to me. I’d been wanting a comfy spot to sit and nurse but I knew we didn’t have any extra money for something right now. I just sorta prayed for the right time to come along, but no rush. Within a week, Bryan was bringing exactly what I’d asked for home from work, as someone was giving it away and asked Bryan if we wanted it. 🙌🏻 If I can trust God to take care of the small things like this, I definitely know He will provide for all of us in much bigger ways.❤️ #prayedforthis #answeredprayer #letgoandletgod #homeschoolmom #blessedmama #breastfeeding #2monthsold #momandme #raisethemup #raisinglittles #mamahood #momsofig #thankfulmama #breastfeedingmama #breastfedbaby #honestmotherhood #holdthemclose #letthemsleep #momofmany #motherhoodjourney #postpartumjourney #postpartumlife

Happy Valentine’s Day! I grabbed a few pictures of everyone looking so festive after our Valentine’s party at co-op yesterday. The kids stood for two shots and both had someone half cut out of the photo. (Or in Instagrams case, completely cut out!) 🤪 The boys actually chose to wear red for their party and I was shocked when I saw them all dressed and ready to go. It was so cute! Today we are recovering from all the fun, baking some heart shaped pizzas, and planning to enjoy this beautiful weather before it drops tomorrow! ❤️ #happyvalentinesday #theheartcaptured #littlepiecesofchildhood #fullheartmamas #largefamily #blessedmama #momofmany #soworthloving #smallfarmfamily #homestead #homeeducation #homeschoollife #homeschoolingrocks #homeschool365 #homeschooldays #welleducatedheart

This little muscle man had his 2 month checkup and he’s grown so much! He’s 16.8 lbs now. The doctor said, “he’s perfect” and, “look at the cheeks, and thighs!” Brandon is getting so talkative lately, he’s laughing and cooing with Maurice in this picture. 😍 #2monthsold #blessedmama #thesearethedays #pocket_sweetness #my_magical_moments #smallandmighty #littlepiecesofchildhood #fullheartmamas #myeveryday #motherhoodjourney #oilybaby #breastfedbaby

She says things like, “Here mom, let me hold him so you can eat.” 😭😍 Such a little sweet and caring person, just always loving on people. ❤️ #simpleeveryday #theheartcaptured #treasuringmoments #treasuringlittlemoments #raisethemup #raisinglittles #thankfulmama #lifewellcaptured #findmoments #thesearethedays #pocket_sweetness #my_magical_moments #smallandmighty #teammotherly #littlepiecesofchildhood #fullheartmamas #myeveryday #largefamily #largefamilyliving

Church was canceled today so we’ve just been staying cozy at home today. Fortunately, bad weather makes the most interesting pictures. ❤️ #lensball #icyday #midwestmoment #wintermood #farmwife #smallfarm #smallfarmlife #smallfarmliving #smallfarmdreams #smallfarmfamily #countryviews #rurallife #lifeonthefarm #lifeinthecountry #homestead #backyardfarm

It feels like you were always meant to be a part of our family. Happy 2 months Brandon Alexander ❤️ #treasuringeverymoment #raisethemup #raisinglittles #thesearethedays #smallandmighty #largefamily #largefamilyliving #blessedmama #momofmany #motherhoodjourney #2monthsold #fearfullyandwonderfullymade

The rain on the metal roof woke us up this morning. Actually, the thunder so loud it shook the house woke us, but I was able to lay in bed as the kids started trickling into our room until it passed. It makes me remember when I would have jumped up and ran around with buckets to set under all the drips in our ceilings. An old farmhouse sounds romantic, but like most things, it really isn’t. 😂 I’m thankful now for our sturdy roof and rainy days and for the times when our kids still climb in bed with us during a storm. ❤️ #shareyourheart #findthegood #countryviews #rurallife #lifeonthefarm #lifeinthecountry #largefamily #largefamilyliving #blessedmama #momofmany #motherhoodjourney #midwestmoment
