I’m Rachel, a farm girl who’s finally starting to love herself. My goal is to help you love yourself as well!

Also I’ll be sure to entertain you with some cute cows!

I’ve never looked back from that first day in Dave’s class when I sat next to you! We’ve been through so much and now we can add a wedding to the list! I love you so much best friend! (Probably even more than Derek!) 🤫😉

I wish you both the most happiness in the rest of your lives together! I hope Derek knows he he got a package deal! 💕

Happy Birthday to this incredible bombshell!

Throughout life you’re always told everything happens for a reason and our friendship is the absolute best example I have of that. If it wasn’t for one of the most manipulative people in my life I wouldn’t have met you, one of my absolute best friends!

I will never regret any of my decisions that lead to meeting you. Our memories speak for themselves and I can’t wait to make so many more! (Not in a dry town 😉) I hope you’re spoiled like you deserve today! Love you long time! 💕

Stop being a trigger!

The couple you carelessly ask when they’re having kids, has been trying for months. They want a child more than anything and have spent thousands trying to have one. The 20 something girl you jokingly ask when she’s getting married, was just cheated on. She thought she was going to get married too and now feels like her life is over. The guy you casually ask when he’s buying a house, has had multiple offers rejected. He already feels like a failure. The girl you nonchalantly mention could lose a few pounds, has been working out for months. She’s thought about starving herself. The woman without a job you keep sending hiring ads to, finally mustered up the courage to quit her job with a boss who abused his power. The single girl you try to set up with all your friends just left an abusive relationship.

Get my point? YOU DON’T KNOW EVERYONES STORY. There are so many things people could be going through on their own that are none of your business.

Instead of feeling the need to gossip about people’s problems, why can’t we chat up their success? Rather than asking when they’re having kids, tell them how wonderful of a couple they are together. Switch out badgering girls about guys for praising their independence and accomplishments on their own. Give the girl who just started a MLM some business instead of bashing her.

Everyone has some sort of a trigger. Before you ask a nosey question, think about how you’d feel if someone asked you about your trigger. It truly is as simple as thinking before you speak.

Just horsing around.

Molly is in the middle and her two babies, Misty and Mindy, on either side.

Horses have always been mine and my grandpa’s thing. I’m so excited to raise this team of full sisters with him!

What a perfect weekend celebrating two of the best people I know!

Congratulations Jolissa and Trevor! Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day.

Kimberly, how is it possible that you’re already 2! I’m so lucky to have such an adorable, sassy, spitfire like you to spoil and love! You have the most amazing mama and I know you’re going to do incredible things! Happy Birthday big girl!

Every moment of your life is a miracle.

I get wrapped up in the comparison game ALL THE TIME! My friends are all getting married, having babies, landing their dream jobs, and building the biggest houses! I feel like I’m getting left behind on all the big milestones of life.

Here’s the thing, life isn’t about only celebrating the milestones in life. Every moment you’re alive is a miracle and that should be celebrated! Imagine how free you’ll feel if you life life moment to moment instead of milestone to milestone.

I always thought that I’d be happier if I was hitting those milestones. The truth is when you’re happy because of a milestone, you’re not truly happy because that “thing” can be taken away at any moment. The only way to be truly happy is celebrating every moment as the miracle it is.

Why do I find it easier to clean the entire machine shed than my own house? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Probably because I spend more time in there than in my house during this time of year especially. Between seed runs, break downs, and machinery maintenance, this shed has definitely been my second home lately.

Next task is to organize the calf barn and make it spotless. Maybe after that I’ll work on doing my dishes or vacuuming. 🤷🏼‍♀️

What’s your home away from home?⬇️⬇️

I like working out.

Wow that’s something I never ever thought I would say. To put it into perspective, in grade school and even into high school I would fake sick to get out of PhyEd class. I would literally rather pretend to be sick than run a few laps around a gym. In grade school participating in track was mandatory or you had to write a report on the history of track and field. Can you guess which one I chose?

In college I found myself going to the gym on occasion to blow off some steam, but I’d only ever stay for 30-40 minutes and wander around like an idiot for half that time.

Now I’m waking up EARLY to workout, which is two huge wins for me. Turns out I just needed to find what I liked. Cardio is not for me. Guided weight lifting workouts, that’s something I can handle! Boxing? Absolutely! Dance? Hell to the nope!

Stop telling yourself you don’t like working out. You just don’t like the current way you’re working out. There’s definitely a program out there for you! I can even help you find what it is!

What’s the first thing you do when looking at a group photo you’re included in?

I know I’m in the bad habit of checking to make sure that I look good. I have to make sure my hair is not a mess, my clothes are flattering, I’m not standing weird, and my smile is perfect.

When you think about it, that’s acting pretty self centered. What would happen if we looked at the others in the picture first? If we made sure that they looked good before ourselves?

While applying this philosophy to a picture might seem trivial, aren’t we the same way in life? We make sure that our needs, wants, and desires are met first, and then we take time for others.

Imagine what it would be like to care for someone other than yourself first for a change. Instead of spending $5 on a coffee we don’t really need, we could donate it to someone less fortunate. Rather than buying another new pair of pants, we could donate the six pair we hardly wear. Before we go to a five star restaurant, we could donate something to the local food pantry.

In what ways can you serve someone other than yourself first this week?

Well here’s some earth for earth day!

Farmers sometimes (most of the time) get a bad rep for “ruining the environment”. Here’s the thing, being sustainable is the best way for us to profit.

The first picture shows ground that has been subsoiled and the second, is ground that has been dug. There’s many different ways that farmers aerate the soil.

Subsoiling goes deep into the ground (15-18 inches) and helps break up the soil from all the compaction that comes with equipment. Chisel Plowing is the next deepest (10-12 inches) and also helps aerate the soil. Digging mainly just helps to smooth out the top of the soil (5-7 inches) for a good seed bed as well as a good worm home. Disking the soil (3-5 inches) also helps smooth out the lumps and makes a good seed bed.

Farmers know where each method is best used and try their hardest to stop erosion because without the nutrient rich topsoil, it would cost a lot more to have crops produce well.
