This post was most recently updated on May 9th, 2016Today is Saturday, the day before Mother’s Day. My husband is in the field … where he’s been all week … cutting the rye for hay. A process that was supposed to take 2 days. And is now in it’s 6th day because of breakdowns on virtually every possible piece of equipment that can break down, including my husband. It’s been a stressful and harried week. As I am Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on May 18th, 2015Well, I didn’t post an update to The Farm Mama yesterday like usual, but I swear I have a very good reason. *Insert anticipation-building musical intro* … It was … Date Night! I know, I know – it was SUPER exciting for me, too! It was the first actual date night Sexy Hubby and I have had in about 14 years. That’s coincidentally right about the Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on May 24th, 2015This week was my annual ‘single mom’ week. Every year, my husband has to attend a continuing education school for his crop insurance adjuster’s license.

He’s a fairly intense kid and when he gets ‘into’ something, he really gets into it. From the ages of 2 to 5, he thought he was Batman. He wore his Batman costume around the clock and saved the household from criminals on a daily basis. Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on May 18th, 2015The flu struck our house again a couple of weeks ago and we are still trying to recover. I’m not positive where we picked up the nasty bug since we, literally, never leave the farm. But it doesn’t really matter – it’s put us very far behind on our farm tasks and spring projects. So far behind, in fact, that any hope of a family vacation Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on May 18th, 2015As predicted, the time change has been wreaking havoc with my sleep cycle all week long. In fact, the only member of my household who seems to be getting enough rest is our dachshund – and it takes all day napping in a sunbeam for her to achieve that level of refreshment. Even though I knew it was going to be this way, I’m still not Continue Reading
This post was most recently updated on May 18th, 2015Today is Valentine’s Day. My 6-year old woke me at 3:30 this morning complaining of a tummy ache. Unfortunately, she complained about it loudly enough that she also woke the sleeping 15 month old who, even more unfortunately, still resides in our master bedroom. I stumbled out of bed and got her some crackers – she’s got a bit of a cold and I figured the Continue Reading
