Hello and welcome!
I’m Peggy, the heart and hands behind this blog. My story is like the weather: unpredictable, sometimes beautiful, sometimes messy, sprinkled with seasons of growth and rest. It’s a tale of changing from city girl to country girl, working professional to stay-at-home mom, junk food eater to label reader, birth mother to mother, and a whole lot of discovering God’s grace.
This blog is a window into my world. It’s a special place to encourage and connect with one another. Enjoy funny farm tales, an imperfectly tidy homestead, heartfelt musings, and resources to help jump start your own journey.
the woods are calling and i must go. My favorite place with my favorite people.
fun facts:
Math and science were my worst school subjects. English and writing came easy. Reading is still a favorite past time!
Jason and I met at an autocross event, which led to traveling the Midwest, road racing Spec Miata’s and building race cars.
I never imagined farming would be part of my repertoire, but here I am, loving how God speaks to me through His creation.
mother. wife. jesus girl. teacher. farmer.
An introverted extrovert who appreciates clutter free rooms, likes decorating with rusty antiques, finds organizing fun, craves learning new things, is picky about pens and highlighters, doesn’t mind getting dirty (it happens often), and loves Jesus.
A perfect day would entail sitting in the woods, sun beating on my face, enjoying the whisper of wind and earthy smell of pines. Of course I’d also have a couple books, snack, and camera close by!
Over the years this blog has morphed from creative DIY expressions to sharing God’s faith-filled impressions. But His vision always proves better than anything I could imagine. I’m so glad you’re here and pray you leave this space blessed!

Get ready for boisterous laughter and smiles!
Life revolves around my husband, spirited kiddos, an obnoxiously loud German Shepherd, roughly thirty cattle, and a smattering of chickens. We love our sometimes quiet, but mostly chaotic corner of God’s creation.
Together we dream, grow, teach, and contemplate which overly optimistic idea we’ll tackle next. You’ll find too many projects going on at once, dog hair on the floor, dirty farm and shop clothes piled up, and kids running around laughing.
Go from Stressed to Blessed!
