Back in 2019 I brought home 2 calves for the purpose of having a cow to eat and one for milk. I raised them, fed them, loved them, cleaned their stalls thru my sickness and health.
Earlier this year we had a date for the stear to be processed. However, hay costs had been on the rise and gotten to a point I wasn't sure we could keep up with. I was discouraged, upset, sad and discussed with my husband possibly selling the cows.
We were so close to seeing the fruition of the hardwork and my husband kept reminding me of that and to see it thru, that we could make it work.
Now, we have a freezer full of grass fed meat to go along with our mostly grass fed eggs. I saw one part of my dream for some self sufficiency come to life. Grateful and glad I didn't give up.
This is just one example of many where I was close to giving up and my husband has lifted me with encouragement and strength to keep going. I absolutely love him for that! 🥰
Rowdy wanted to play and Ronin was too busy sniffing and peeing on everything....
Not sure I want to share on fb. Lots of changes happening, some things in limbo. Been a roller coaster for a few weeks now.
Today was a magical day in the pasture! Rowdy was having the time of her life doing zoomies. Watching her race around, and tail flying, was pure joy.
Seeing her play reminds us of the simple pleasures in life. If you need a smile today, just picture her galloping, full of energy and spirit. 💖
Hi, I just rewrote my about page. Wrote it last week and lost it. 🙄

I'm looking forward to playing around in this space and getting to know you.
This is something I posted on FB and TikTok too. TikTok gave me a strike and I had to delete the post.
Used to be popes, kings, and mobs.
Now it’s bots, vague review teams, and a TOS longer than the Bible.
Got a strike for talking about pills. Not glamorizing. Not selling.
Just being real.
But apparently, real gets flagged.
Now, if I’d danced to a trending sound while doing lines and captioned it “Just girly things" ... probably would’ve gotten a brand deal.
But sit still and tell the truth? Censorship.
Shadowbanned.
Muted.
The system doesn’t hate danger.
It hates honesty that doesn’t entertain.
And I’m not here to make you comfortable.
I’m here to say what they hope stays quiet.
We are so conditioned not to see. We fill in blanks with familiar stories instead of confronting uncomfortable truths.

Yesterday I shot a stunner tucked away in the pines of Flagstaff... and OMG, this house? Straight up swoon worthy. 😍
From the warm modern exterior to the sky-high ceilings and that dreamy chef’s kitchen, it’s giving elegance meets forest sanctuary.
Scroll-stopping views out every window and a layout that flows like a mountain breeze.
Flagstaff, you really showed off with this one.
