It’s awesome when bright sun and magic frost make me believe I might love #winter. #minnesota #30degrees #dairymom #farmlifeI am not getting out to #run everyday. FAR from it. My body is no longer liking the treadmill. My belly is heavy (and awesome!) so I need clear roads. I prefer blue skies and sunshine when December delivers them, so this afternoon I simply had to find time to get out on my roads. I’m thankful for what this body continues to do. I see how the running I love — and the strength I sometimes don’t — helps keep me able to continue the real work in my day of farming. 🐮 I pray the winter weather stays this nice so I can continue to #runhappy outdoors. Thanks @brooksmk12 & @themotherrunner for helping me on the journey. #bamr #motherrunner #minnesota #dairymom“Not so sure I wanna talk to this guy...” 2 minutes later: “Hmm, what do I wanna tell this guy...” 😅 #santapictures #decemberishere #thisis2Presenting the fourth set of twin heifers born in the last month. We can be done with the twinning anytime now, but I’m happy these ladies are pretty cute and doing well. Plus, today’s weather was mild enough that mama got to clean them off a little before I moved them to warmer quarters. 🐮 #moo #undeniablydairy #dairymom #minnesotaCopyright 2018

Saying Goodbye To His First Home
We sold our house this summer, and it almost killed us. I’m half kidding but only half. I think I’ve mentioned before we moved into the house on the dairy farm over the winter. We never had a big, official … Continue reading
Families, Kids, and Immigration
I shared this on Instagram yesterday, and I thought it fit nicely here, too. As I’ve picked up and held this handsome babe over the last week my heart has been so heavy with the knowledge that hopeful immigrants … Continue reading
Being Intentional About Singing in the Kitchen
Speedy and I like to run around the kitchen exuberantly dancing and singing. Everything from nursery rhymes and Christmas songs to the latest pop hits. We laugh about our ridiculous moves until the dogs perk up their ears and stare as they try to … Continue reading
