HATS OFF to these boys! They moved to a NEW community, started at a NEW school halfway through the year, all made NEW friends, and are now celebrating their last day of school! That takes guts and grit and they did it!!

We officially have 3 MIDDLE SCHOOLERS!!!

I'm so excited to have my boys home for the next few months- it's my favorite time of year 🥰!

Around here we speak fluent cow, let the goats ride in the 4x4, and share our drinks with the animals.

1,000 things to do before we leave to go camping in an hour and what do I see as I'm frantically packing the camper? My husband leisurely riding by on his mower...

Ok... now summer is officially here 🍊 🍾🥂!!
PORCH MIMOSA is the scent of the season and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Here's the line up:

🍾 100% pure white soy wax 14oz candle. 3 cotton wicks, about 45 hours of burn time. Super high fragrance level (if you know me, you know how much I love my B*W candles). Smells like pink champagne, orange juice and sunshine! ✨️$18

🍊champagne and orange juice swirled cold process bar soap. You. Are. Welcome. ☺️ $5

🥂glow up lotion! Hand and body lotion in a super easy toss-in-your-bag bottle ✨️$8

☀️Of course had to add in a foaming soap in this scent as well. Nothing like putting one of these next to your kitchen sink 😉 $7

The whole bundle: $38. Wayyyy better than supporting a chain store 🙌🏻

The secret ingredient to every meal this year is already love.
We got a quote for tilling which came in over $600. Our neighbor tilled our garden (including tilling in our cow's manure) out of the goodness of his heart.

Radishes, carrots, cucumbers, birdhouse gourds, luffas, zinnias, poppies, potatoes, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, popcorn, sweet corn, northern lights corn, and mini pumpkins... all because of him. We are so grateful.

Hopefully this week we will get the larger pumpkins out in the field and try our luck at a pumpkin patch this year too 😌

Did you know calamine is actually all natural and there are no added dyes? It's naturally pink!

You don't have to use that super watery "lotion" that runs 😉. I decided to add a couple teaspoons of it to this batch of itch butter and it's amazing!

This butter is chuck full of goodness: shea butter, h**p, jojoba, lavender, colloidal oats, & calamine
