Around here life is crazy, messy and we love every minute!
Being a beef farmer that means we eat a lot of beef. By beef I mean that we get a lot of different cuts. Steaks, roasts, ground beef, stew meat. You name it, we get it. I am always on the hunt for new ways to use roasts. To me, I can only eat a pot roast so many times before I need to do something different with it. When I found this recipe I was excited. I knew I was going to put it to use as soon as possible and it was not a disappointment. My husband and… Read More
Note from Ashley: Younique just came out with a new formula. My formula is the old one and there is a possibility that my review might not be relevant. But like I said, I still wanted to share my Beauty Review. A friend of mine asked me to do this review forever ago. So add up a crazy summer, being a farmer and being pregnant. Which means the barn and sleeping are my favorite places. That is how we got to this point. But when I promise something, I stick to it so here we go. There is this new trend in… Read More
A note from Ashley: Being a small business owner I love other small businesses. It makes me happy to support someone who is following their dream too. That love inspired me to start a new monthly blog series. I decided to call it Small Business Charm. I will feature different small businesses that I love or have found through social media. Social media has been a huge part of my life over the past 7 or 8 years and it has introduced me to some of my favorite people in the world but also some of my favorite small businesses. Without… Read More
This meal is so good! Let me tell you something, it can be a clean out your fridge and freezer kind of a meal. Before I start I will tell you how this is a clean out my fridge and freezer kind of a meal. First, use any veggies you want. I had lots of carrots and broccoli but right now I’m short on other veggies (thank you to pregnancy aversions), but you can throw in whatever you want. Peppers, onions, mushrooms, like I said whatever you want. When I make a dish with rice in it, I usually make… Read More
After a few years of trying, two losses, lots of tears (from me of course), thousands of dollars and lots of doctors appointments we are officially going from two humans to three in this house. I have the say the hubby and I are so excited. I met with my OB last week and he told me we had officially defied the odds getting pregnant in our situation without any help from a doctor. I feel like this baby is such a blessing. For anyone who has ever lost a pregnancy or two you will probably understand this. I… Read More
When it is berry season in Michigan it can get hard to eat them all before they get overripe. Whenever this happens, I do what any dessert loving person does…. I make Pound Cake and homemade whipped cream. It’s what any sensible person would do. This Pound Cake Recipe is from one of my favorite blogs, Food and Swine. If you decide to make this, you won’t regret it.
I don’t know about you but I am loving it that summer is finally here. In Michigan we missed it last year. We seriously only had a handful of days that could have been considered summer so the upper 80’s we have had the last few days are welcome. When summer joins us a few products that are only for summer also come out. Today I am sharing my 5 Things I Love for Summer. *This post includes affiliate links. I use them to help pay for some of the expenses of running my blog… Although I have yet to… Read More
I am always on the search for a new recipe that is easy to throw together in a rush. This recipe is one of those. It takes less than a half hour to get it all ready and my husband gave it his grunt of approval. I made some changes to the original recipe because I didn’t have everything available in my grocery store or at my house.
