A couple weekends ago, we tackled a big project—relocating some old farm implements that had been tucked away in the tree line for decades. They’d sunken into the ground over the years, so digging them out and moving them was no small task. Hard work but so satisfying to do it together as a family!

Shoutout to my amazing hubby who spent his day off hauling and spreading multiple loads of compost with our son to prep the garden beds! Hard work, but so worth it. We topped it with landscape fabric (worked wonders for w**d control last year) and today I kicked off planting with 24 pepper and 2 tomato plants. Pics to come!

Our good friend built us this incredible outdoor stove for boiling sap into syrup! The warm weather came so fast this year that we might have missed tapping season—but we’re holding out hope for one last cold snap. Did you know maple trees only give sap when nights are below freezing, but days are above? If we’re too late this time, at least we’re all set for next year!

Growing up, I always played checkers with my Grandpa on this board. Last night, I saw something I’d never noticed before—‘Mr. Arnold’ written on it. Turns out, this board belonged to my Great-Grandfather, Arnold VanDenLangenberg (1892–1981).

Now, I get to play on the same board with my son. What an incredible piece of family history, full of cherished memories and connections across generations. ❤️✨

Cranberry Juice from scratch, just in time for the holidays! 🎄🍒 I was gifted these beautiful cranberries and couldn’t resist making my own canned juice—it’s so much tastier than store-bought! 😋 Here’s how you can make your own festive cranberry juice for Christmas:

1️⃣ Fill jars 1/3 full with cranberries
2️⃣ Add 1/4 cup sugar
3️⃣ Cover with boiling water (leave 1 inch headspace)
4️⃣ Clean rims, add lids and rings
5️⃣ Process in a hot water bath canner for 25 mins
6️⃣ Cool, check seals, and store!

The longer they sit, the better the flavor. Ready to try it? 🍒✨ Drop a ❤️ if you love homemade holiday treats or tag a friend who’d love this idea!

🔔 The farm bell has been restored! Watch the video in comments to see how it broke 😢 Huge thanks to Nextgen Metalworks LLC for the amazing repair! 🙌 This bell came with the 1880s farmhouse my grandparents bought in the 1950s. It was moved when my grandparents built my home on other side of the property in 1971. My dad grew up here, I grew up next door, and the bell has always called us in from work and play. Cherished memories and history saved! ♥️

Discover the power of ozone! 🌿✨ After chatting with y’all in my stories, I realized many aren’t familiar with ozone’s amazing benefits. Let me break it down:

I use a $60 machine off Amazon with a stainless steel diffuser tip from Dr. O Solutions (the pumice one it comes with is works good too, I’m just extra 😅). Just submerge your produce in cold water and diffuse for 20 mins. Ozone breaks down pesticides, herbicides, wax, bugs, parasites, and mold—even on organic produce!

Bonus: Ozonated water is a stellar sanitizer and odor eliminator for surfaces and items. Have questions? DM me! 💧

🌟 Loving my new mini electric chainsaw! 🌿 It’s under $50 on Amazon and has been a game-changer. Got so much more done compared to using hand tools. Just look at this pile I chopped down today! 🪚🔥
