Someone recently asked me what I do for a living. I responded that I stay at home with my children. They proceeded to ask if it was because I didn’t finish high school. I was absolutely floored at this response. God put it in my heart that my purpose was to raise and nurture the [...]

Maternity Hunting Clothes
When I was pregnant with Addie I searched everywhere for maternity hunting clothes, and definitely had no luck. I ended up buying some hunting bibs that were a few sizes too big, so that they would fit over my belly. On the next hunt, I bought a maternity band to keep my regular pants up, [...]
Nolan’s Nursery
Last night we finally finished Nolan’s nursery. I had so much fun finding things for his room. I was able to reuse a lot of the girls’ nursery, and then bought a few more things from there. I finished his paintings late in the night, but I was determined to have it completed before I [...]
Marinated Steak and Roasted Veggies

When I became pregnant the first time, I had so many questions when it came to hunting. I tried to research or ask my doctor about shooting firearms, shooting my bow, or climbing into my tree stand. There weren’t any great resources, and my doctor/midwives could only give me their best educated guess. I noticed [...]
