And So It Begins

I've been working on a long term goal for about 4 years now.  To own my own mini farm or homestead if you will.  It started because I'm wanting to get back to the days I spent with my dad and mom on our little farm we had in North Georgia.  I remember when we first got our cows, chickens and even had a lamb I raised for 4-H.  It was a simpler time or at least that is what I remember.  I'm sure my mom would say otherwise but I'm so very fond of those memories.  I want to give our daughter those same memories too for her to look back on when she is my age.

We have finally found a 12 acre farm with a cute old farmhouse and it is all about to begin!  This blog is going to be a record of our getting established with chickens, cows and growing our own food as much as we can.  My husband and I both work full time and so we have a lot on our plate but I'm just so excited to be able to head back out to the country after a long day at work.  This is going to be such a great time for making memories with my family and can't wait to get started.

We move in one week and I've been a busy bee getting the new house ready and also getting what we have left to pack for the big day.

It won't be long before we get in and start making this a happy home for our family and I can't wait to share how it is coming along.
