:: this and that ::

life has been busy but good around here

there is so much ebb and flow with farming

which is totally me

and probably why I love being here...

being a farmers wife

raising little farmers

and farming my own little patch of goodness

I am nearly 32 week. 

32 weeks. wow.

Despite how it looks on my blog I have been documenting my growing belly

...on instagram {i'm brittanyclaireandco if you're on there}

the weather is turning colder

it was 86 last week

and then it was 29

...and snowedand melted.

We are totally still calling this autumn though,

and enjoying the sunshine and summer clothes as long as we can.

We recently started up a family excavation business

...what's a little more dirt and a few more machines.

It's kept all the boys a little busier than usual,

but that's a good thing, especially for a start up business.

I have been making a lot of ice cream lately

...pregnancy craving much?!

raspberry, lemon, peanut butter, kale, mint chip, strawberry

and it's all sugar & dairy free.

I promise to share the recipe!

My garden is almost done

the only thing I have left is kale and swiss chard, which love this cooler weather.

There are some green tomatoes still waiting to be picked,

but the plants are all dead.

bittersweet.

I am loving the 4-5 year old stage we are in right now.

The 3 littles, that aren't really that little anymore

totally brighten my day, everyday.

Their questions and thoughts

and little personalities coming out.

love it.

The kids are praying and begging for snow

and if it doesn't snow big they all want to go to the west coast for the winter.

They dream of adventure and travel

...just like their parents.

I don't have one little thing ready for this baby yet

and really, there isn't much to do.

pull out a few baby clothes, make up some wipes and get some newborn diapers.

hard to believe we're only 6-7 weeks away.

I am getting so anxious to meet this little one,

but I want to savor every minute of this pregnancy too.

A few days ago I was dropping off some bags at the thrift store

and a lady in the parking lot hollered out "thank you for having babies"

a conversation was sparked and she ended up giving me a hug

and telling me so many things I needed to hear that day.

God is everywhere and he always shows up at the most perfect times.

happy day my friends

see you soon
