Category Archives: mini-farming We have started to settle in with this old place really feeling like home. My only regret is that we didn’t move to the country sooner. Some wouldn’t consider this country at all with a small grocery just 3 miles away and a few more a hop, skip and jump of 5 miles farther. Our […]  If you are a friend on Facebook or Instagram, then you already know we’ve entered the world of baby chicks. OH MY. And if you aren’t. Then oh my…maybe I should spare you the chicken drama. Soooo…last month we visited my sweet friend with LOTS of hens and a rooster. We had the BEST time […]  Oh my! We have been here for 3 weeks TONIGHT! And life is… GOOD. We have 2 animal traps set up to catch what we think is a ground hog digging all kinds of business under our front porch. I was certain we caught something tonight–but then I thought it was a coyote just howling…then […] So good to hear an update about your move! Looks like a great place and like you’re enjoying it already! Love your leap of faith to do something new! We too, are in the process of moving and doing “farm/country life.” With you doing it first I’ll get to see all of the what to do’s and what not to do’s! 🙂 Blessings to you all! What an exciting time for your family! We too are moving after living in the same home for 11 years. Almost everyone has been so excited for our family but we have had the same Debbie Downers as you. Our family has decides that it is such a blessing to be able to move almost 800 miles away and that God has truly blessed us each step of the way. One of my daughter wondered if maybe the few naysayers were a bit jealous of the opportunity that we have. Maybe it is something they have long dreamt of and been fearful of doing themselves so we prayed for them….just in case. Congrats on finding your farm! It looks amazing! We live in Alpharetta and are also looking for a farm/land farther out. Just have a desire to slow down a little and have room for the kids to run and play. Enjoy!! So…here we go. The sign goes up in our yard tonight!! So many sweet memories made in this house. Just finished up taking pictures for our realtor!!! This home. We brought home Frank, Isaac and Zeke in. So many sweet memories. But the farm is calling us. Here’s the link to pictures…of a very RARE […] beautiful home. I hope you sell quickly and can’t wait to read about your farm life adventure. Keeping a house clean with 5 littles is hard. One trick I did was when I knew I had a showing I would throw in Chocolate chip cookies and back them and we all worked to clean before the timer went off and then fed them cookies in the car. Good luck Beautiful home. Praying you sell quickly for the price you want and it all goes smoothly. God bless My tip is empty laundry baskets. If you get a call for someone to come and see the house without a lot of notice, run around and throw everything out of place in the laundry baskets and put them in the car. voila. I even had to put dirty dishes from the sink in a basket one time. Also, clorox wipes are your friend. A quick once over of the kitchen counters and toilets can go along way. 🙂 I hope it sells quickly. It can be really crazy selling a house with littles but the Lord will see you through. One day at a time. Congratulations…so exciting Andrea! I join you in praying that your house sells in His perfect timing…and that He leads you to the exact spot He has waiting for your family! We just recently moved “out” like we’ve dreamed about for years. Our pasture is getting fenced in as I type! WOOHOO! Not much longer until we bring those chickens, and dairy goats? or dairy cow? home! We are living our dream – with our 5, going on 6 kiddos – and I’m so thankful and in awe of how He has blessed us! What a beautiful home! Every image looks like it is from a magazine! How could you ever want to leave it?! 🙂 I am sure you’ll have no problems selling! it’s gorgeous! After clicking on the link, I got this message from the site, “Sorry, the gallery download limit has been hit.”(?) God’s best to you as you seek to live the country life! Wishing you a quick sale! Some friends of our who live in Alpharetta sound their house pretty quickly. I know it is so hard eith little ones. Didn’t realize you were so close. |
