"After that God saw everything that he had made, and look! it was very good." ❤️
When people ask us where we moved to, initially I would just say the name of the little town we live outside of. This was usually met with the inevitable "where is that???" So instead I started saying that we live near "The" Apple Orchard ... And no joke, didn't matter if we were 100 miles from home north or south, everyone knew exactly where we lived, and they say "Mmmmm I am so jealous you live near those doughnuts!!!" . And I just smile and say, "Yup, I can probably smell them out my kitchen window!" . Except thanks to food allergies, we can't eat those doughnuts anymore. My boys have never had one. (But I can still taste how they used to melt in my mouth 😋) . So today, I made up some #glutenfree #paleo #gapsdiet #grainfree #delicious #yumyum cinnamon sugar doughnuts ... Take that, Apple Orchard lovers!!! I got mine in July and you gotta wait til Labor Day 😉😁 . No seriously, even if you don't have #foodallergies you will love these! ❤️ . Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts 1 cup almond flour 2 eggs 3 Tbs. maple syrup (or raw honey, if you're following GAPS) 2 tsp. vanilla extract 1/4 tsp. baking soda Mix all the ingredients together. Using a greased doughnut pan, fill each doughnut mold half full with batter. Bake at 300°F for 10 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan. Cool 5-10 minutes total before dipping each doughnut in melted butter (about 2 Tbs ) and then dip in cinnamon sugar (2 Tbs. coconut palm sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon). . Enjoy! But be prepared to make more ... I made a batch this morning and they were gone by lunchtime 😁 . . . #homemade #fresh #betterthanthebest
One of the things I love the most about our new farm is discovering all the plants and animals that live here ❤️ . I could use some help though! If you are a savvy plant person, please visit my stories today and help me identify a couple of the trees and shrubs that are growing in our pasture. Thank you!! 😘 . . . #horticulture #organicgardening #homesteading #helpagirlout
Recently the @nytimes published an article entitled: "My Son Got Lyme Disease. He's Totally Fine." . I heard about the article here on Instagram as person after person suffering with chronic Lyme disease shared their stories to combat the line in the article that called Lyme "the best thing it could be" when it comes to a diagnosis. The article states that "horror stories about lingering Lyme disease proliferate, but the illness is easily treated." . The article itself was so full of inaccuracies and anti-science, that I'm not even going to focus on it any longer. It clearly had an agenda in mind, which obviously wasn't to tell the truth. . What I wanted to share was this: if you have a friend who has been diagnosed with Lyme disease, they need your love and support. Chances are it took them years to be correctly diagnosed, and even now, most treatments are out of pocket and exhaustingly hard (to say the least) on their body. They want to live a "normal" life as much as the next person, but instead they must live day to day or even hour to hour, not knowing what symptom will pop up next. . Today I have so much to do (like every day) but my body is demanding a little break before I continue. I was up last night multiple times, and woke up tired already this morning. My throat is sore, my joints hurt, my heart races, the heat makes me feel faint, and I'm depressed and apathetic. . And this is a good day for me. It is miles and miles away from where I started out. So no, Lyme is not easily treatable, and it's not a diagnosis to be desired. And making it seem like it is only does more emotional damage to the thousands of persons who have been told by doctor after doctor that it's "all in their head" as they sit and feel their life draining away. . . . #nytimesthisislyme #speakthetruth #lymedontkillmyvibe
Say hello to Nori! ❤️ I assure you, she was much more photogenic before she decided to take a swim in her water dish lol. We decided that Cooper could use a buddy out on the farm so we found this sweet little girl down in Amish country a few hours from here. Cooper may not know it yet as she's a bit bossy and stole his squeaker toy, but in time I think he will learn to appreciate his gift from us. 😉 . . . #labsofinstagram #twoarebetterthanone #doubletrouble
They often say that when you're a mom, the days are long but the years are short. . Life is hard and as moms, we're crazy busy (All the time. 24/7. I mean, I still catch myself multitasking at night in my dreams.) . With all the things we have to do, it can be easy to say, "Not right now honey" when the kids ask us to listen to their 9,874th story that day, want us to come and see a Lego castle they built, or in some other way are looking for our undivided attention. But maybe we need to stop and think: children were created this way, and maybe it's because God knew that we needed the break. When we stop for a few minutes for snuggles or to listen to a story or two, our tired minds and bodies also get a little recharge. . So tonight while dinner was cooking, instead of more #demoday I stopped for a moment and had some homegrown strawberries and watched the sunset with this sweetie who tomorrow (if I blink) will be a man. ❤️ . . .
