Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

In Farm Life by Laura CrossleyLeave a Comment

With our basement fireplace update complete, it’s looking much more like the holidays around here. We finally decorated our Fulk Farms tree last weekend. All the good vintage ornaments came out of storage for the occasion. I’ve got to admit – it’s felt great seeing a little piece of “us” in this house. We’ve left plenty of marks, but this …

Let’s be real – there is nothing better than having an entire main room of your house dedicated to fort-building. Aaron’s latest “toy” purchase continues to be a hit.

In Farm Life by Laura CrossleyLeave a Comment

With our tree chopped, I’ve been more than thrilled to continue our annual tradition of adding a handful of over-the-top blown glass ornaments to our collection. Each year, we find a few new baubles that tell the story of big things that happened. Sometimes, we buy them mid-year. Sometimes, I place a bajillion Amazon orders and we collect boxes for …

Getting Ready for Goat Babies

In Livestock by Laura CrossleyLeave a Comment

“Any day now” is the general story behind when we’ll finally see our goat babies arrive. Brian has given us a more insightful “few weeks” to work with – but I’m sticking with the excitement that we could literally have new babes at any possible minute. Apparently, the promise of goat babies comes with quite a bit of butt checking. Aaron …
