Okay, so disclaimer. Our internet has not been working for the last few weeks. So when I posted something it was usually from my phone, which means I have been paying for data overages. But I really wanted to share this post because it was such a blast. This is from right before Christmas. If you live in my area of Michigan (The Thumb) you should listen really close or if you plan to visit, perk those ears up! There is this awesome restaurant near the lake and it is called The Farm. The woman that owns it, Pam, went… Read More

Last Minute Homemade Christmas Gifts

In the past few months I have gotten into Young Living Essential Oils. Disclaimer: For those of you who are thinking I maybe went a little crazy. I am not. I started using it to help my skin because nothing else could get rid of my acne and for sleeping. I was tired of having the drug hangover that comes from taking sleeping medication. I am technically a wholesaler but it is not my goal to sell them to people. I believe that combined with modern medicine they can make a huge difference in people’s lives. If you want to talk… Read More

Are There Hormones in my Milk?

I get asked about hormones in milk a lot. My sister just asked me to clarify some things about them last week and that told me it is time to write a post about it. If my sister forgets and asked about it, then people who have never been around a farm must have a lot more questions. I will start out by saying, your milk is safe! There is no need to be concerned about the safety of milk. Hormones are in all Milk To start, I know many of you are concerned about rbST. I will address that topic… Read More

One Pot Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup: Comfort in a Bowl

A good soup or stew is easily one of my favorite foods. When fall comes around I cannot wait to start pulling out those delicious, hearty, warm recipes. The only bad part is that soups tend to take a lot of time to prep and make. Last year Brandie at The County Cook shared a One Pot Chicken Noodle Soup recipe. I could not wait to try it because I love homemade Chicken Noodle Soup but it usually takes so long to make. As usual, I was not disappointed with Brandie’s recipe and I don’t think you will be either…. Read More
