When you are up close it can be hard to see the forest for the trees. But every know and then, when you give yourself the chance to step back, you catch a glimpse of that big picture.
.
Our place is a mess. The garden is a mess, the house is a mess, the chicken coop stinks, the shed is a mess, the yard is a mess, our fences are a mess... But man is our corner of this world beautiful when you look up and stop focusing on the small things!
One of my favorite hacks in the summer is just putting a bathing suit on first thing in the morning and hoping for the best. I may not find time to swim between baking, farm chores, and kids but having my suit on at least gives me hope! .
My other favorite hack is organic, cold pressed, always refrigerated fruit and veggie baby and toddler food so they’re as tasty and nutritious as the day the fruits and veggies were picked on the farm. And delivered to my doorstep, which is perfect for my lifestyle and disorganized grocery list! Once Upon a Farm has revolutionized food for kids by going back to what’s real, what’s simple and what’s good. I want only the very best for our kids but there isn’t always time to process food for the baby and toddlers during the business week. I may have had a little too, it’s cold pressed fruits and veggies, why not?

A delinquent Rufio for this Saturday. I had to put hardware cloth over the top of my other brooder because the Rufios kept trying to visit (trample) the little chicks. Now that the hardware cloth is up, they've taken to basking directly under the heat lamp. Cool, guys. Real cool.
They're so tiny and zippy- they've pretty much figured out how to get over or through every fence we have.
