the critter barn

Okay, I have this big dream of becoming a farmer.
And our trip today makes the dream bigger and a dream of the past.
I love the animals, especially the babies. But at the same time that is a lot of work.


We had a chance to feed the "kids" baby goats, and the calf's. We held the chicks, pet bunnies and milked a goat


All of the kids had a blast!!!!


Eli was in his GLORY....he had so much fun with all of the animals. When we asked him which was his favorite he said the pig...(I was surprised by that, it's usually the horse's)

We are very blessed to have such great teachers that plan such wonderful trips and love our kiddo's so much....

And driving home, I realized just how great it is to live in West Michigan.

I am grateful for all of the farmers (we drove past a lot of farms) in the area that work so hard.

Enjoy the spring weather this weekend!!!

Grace and peace to you this weekend!!!!

a little inspiration

So, I picked this painting up at a garage sale this summer for $2.50. And had a great idea to transform it into something modern.

I started by cutting the letters out of contact paper on my Cricut.

Then painted over the letters with white wall paint that we had laying around.

After the paint dried, I removed the letters.

Viola, the finished product!!!!

This isn't the final resting place. I have another place in mind. But this is the spot for the time being.














Happy day to you!!

Grace and Peace!!
