•My ❤• It was a 15 minute stop at the park on a cold Sunday. And I knew the photos wouldn't be exactly how I would like them to be :) But once, just once, could everyone actually smile normally, and look at me??😂😁 Oh well, I love them any way😉😍

I don't love the milking part of farm life. When I was in the thick of toddler and baby stage, it was honestly stressful taking them along to the barn. I still remember with my 1st, how she didn't sleep well, and I often had little sleep, and then I would have to bundle her up and go out to the barn to do morning chores. I do know we took naps together during the day, because I was exhausted 😊 When we had more children, we did get hired help, and I usually did not have to take them out in the wee hours. Then when child number 4 came along, our oldest was old enough to be in the house, and call me if the baby woke up, which she often did 😁 I would run in, take my barn clothes off, nurse her, and get her back to sleep, and then back out to the barn. I am glad that stage is past😊 But now that my youngest is 3, for the most part I enjoy that they go out with us. I still have to make sure he stays out of the way of equipment, etc., but it's not quite as stressful as when they are 2, and have no idea of the dangers. One of the things I worried about most being on a farm, was for an accident to happen with our children. And there were close calls, and many prayers prayed. And still prayed! But I am so grateful for all the ways God has blessed us, abundantly more than we deserve!!

With him, I just didn't care as much what others thought I "should do" 😉 I breastfed him 2 years, potty trained after 3 yrs., vaccinated him several times, and then changed my mind, still cosleep, and give him some screen time. I can already hear the judgement. It's what everyone does, including me. I see or hear something, make an assumption, and assume my way is better. I have a lot of growing to do in that area. But one thing I know, is that I am my kiddos mother. Their advocate. I am the one who spends time with them every day. Instead of passing judgement, talking down on other moms, or assuming we are always right, how about we all just be kind, loving, and give each other some grace. We all need that!❤
