Bring Our Horses Home Part 2

Posted in Family, and Homesteading

By the time we arrived home from the rescue, it was dark which was not the plan. We had hoped to get the horses settled while it was still light outside. Daddy and Munchkin walked the horses around and showed them around their new home. Thankfully, we had a bright moon to help light at least some of the area. It was a long night as the horses were quite restless which made the dogs go crazy for most of the night. Needless to say, we were rather tired the next day. The new routine began as we got up…

Bringing Our Horses Home Part One

Posted in Family, and Homesteading

Over the last few weeks, Daddy and daughter have been working on getting our rental property set up to bring our horses home as time allowed. Stage one was pouring footings for the shelter for their stalls. They allowed the concrete to cure a couple of days before moving on to stage two.

The main posts are in place with the first headers done on the backside of the stalls.…

We were fortunate to be able to get free tickets through Veteran Tickets Foundation who give out a massive number of free tickets to vets and their families throughout the…

31 Days to Pray for Your Spouse Challenge

Posted in Family, and Reviews

I believe very strongly that we should be praying for our spouses each day – not to change them, but rather to lift them up. Our spouses are bombarded with temptations and hardships every day. They can’t walk down the street, read a magazine, look online, or watch tv without temptation being thrown in their faces. They are under a lot of pressure to provide for their families, be good husbands, be good fathers, be good sons…. As a wife, I want to do everything in my power to help my husband succeed in life and in our marriage. When…

Marriage: It’s the Little Things That Matter

Posted in Family

This post is part of the Happy Wives Club Blog Tour which I am delighted to be a part of along with hundreds of inspiring bloggers. To learn more and join us, click here!   I could talk forever about marriage, but it’s time to wrap up this little mini-series of mine. Ironically, this all started out as one post for the launch of the Happy Wives Club book, but once I got writing, I couldn’t stop. I glazed over things in the interest of saving some writing/reading time, but it still ended up being rather long. I had fun thinking about…
