This week’s video is one I only make once a year—it's where I take the time to connect with you in a way I don’t often get the chance to. I cover a lot—there are tears, snot (sorry! 🥹), but also plenty of laughs along the way.
It's also why THIS picture was our family's biggest achievement.
AND, if you're curious about why I took an abrupt break from YouTube, my second experience at Homesteaders of America (HOA), updates on hunting (spoiler: I’m still a shotgun girl at heart 💥), and more, this is the video for you. I know not everyone will have time to sit through the whole video, so in next month's Pantry Chat, I’ll share a much more abbreviated version, but the full(er) story is here!
What’s in the Video? *Why I Took a Break: Life threw some curveballs, and I had to pause and regroup. *HOA Recap: My second year was incredible, but so different from the first—here’s what stood out. *Hunting Adventures: Let’s talk about how my novice hunter journey is shaping up! *Personal Updates: What we’re trying differently this year with fertility, stepping down from Assistant Principal, how I’m pursuing herbalism and a lot more.
These videos always hold a special place in my heart because they remind me how much we’re all carrying in life—and how important it is to lean on each other. Your prayers, personal messages, and support during this season have meant the world to me. ❤️ Knowing that this community lifts each other up, even when times are tough, is why I’m so grateful for all of you.
As always, thank you for growing, preserving, and thriving alongside me. Here’s to all the beautiful, messy, and meaningful things that make life so rich. Please know I am reading the comments with the best kind of emotional overwhelm there is and mostly placing a heart to show you I've read them :)
Becoming a Farm Girl
Thank You from the Bottom of My Heart

It's long, it's raw, but it’s real.
