DIY Christmas Reindeer
My daughter Whitney picked up some scrap wood from the farmhouse and made this beautiful reindeer sign. It was very easy to put together. She picked up three pieces of wood and used wood glue to hold them together. Then she chalked painted the wood white and sanded the outer edges to give it...
Inside the Walls
It is getting busy inside the walls of the farmhouse! The HVAC people have been in putting in all the duct work for the air conditioning and heating. I kept repeating to the guys.....I don't want to be hot!.....are you sure there is enough cooling power? They kept assuring me that there would...
Big Beams
The Big Beams are up! Wow! They were awesome just sitting on the ground and now I love them even more up in the farmhouse! They were such a work of art by the framers. These guys cut these big beams just the right size, sanded the edges and hoisted them up 20 feet in the air! Each of the...
Window Wonder
Windows! Windows! Windows! I just love windows! I believe I have 46 windows all together in the farmhouse. The architect loved windows also, so I even have a window in the laundry room. Actually many of my big windows have their own little windows above them. My toilet room in the master...
Farmhouse Blessing
What a wonderful day we had blessing the farmhouse with scripture and love! The weather was just perfect! Inside the house and outside on the patios was just right! It was so much fun to see people as they chose which room they wanted to write in. I have loved looking at all the writing! The...
Monday Makeover
We had a wonderful opportunity to bless Heather Chambers recently at our Women at the Well bible study. Heather is a sweet stay at home mom who home schools her two children. She is a task master when it comes to learning and creating with the kids! Her husband is a full time elementary teacher...
The Trusses Are Up!
My crazy life showed up the same morning as the trusses. I was so proud of myself that I showed up at the farmhouse at 6:15am and the crane showed up at 6:30am. The most unusual part of that, was being up, dressed (not well), and someplace at that time of the morning. I had my camera all...

Walk in your closet…..look around and you will most likely find at least one formal dress, the ghost of proms past, the homecoming dress that haunts you or the bridesmaid dress that tried to bite you.

Rocker 7 Farm Patch
We had such a fun time at Rocker 7 Farm Patch! The kids loved the petting zoo! Cooper was a tad bit afraid of the big spotted pig that wanted to sniff his toes! Grady loved herding the goats through their little red house and Lucas was just happy to be there! The big in the ground jumper was...
Perimeter Is Secure
It's hard to believe but all the outside walls are up! The last wall to be put up was the big north wall that has three sets of french doors out to the patio. It has a huge header beam and was a big wall to go up! The farmhouse is really taking shape now. I am starting visualize where the...
One Wall Left
I am so grateful to be able to share the progress of the farmhouse with you! We have one wall left to have all the outside walls up and standing tall! I just love going to the job site and smelling the fresh cut wood and listening to the saws and nail guns. And yes, they do still do some good...
More Outside Walls
Well its hard to believe that these guys work so fast! The outside walls are almost up. The three storage rooms in the garage are already framed too. If you look at the foundation of the picture with the garage you can see the red chalk lines of the interior walls. The long wall that is laying...
Fall Cinnamon Bun Cake
This is a beautiful and delicious cake recipe! This is a seasonal Pillsbury cake mix that I tried on the family. They all loved it. It tastes very similar to a spice cake with just a little less spice. The frosting, of which I am a frosting lover, taste very similar to Cinnabon. I didn't...
Thank You Friends
Walls of Wood
This is so exciting I can't completely believe it is happening! Well today the first walls went up on the farmhouse! My contractors, Karl T Brim Construction, sent me a text this morning to let me know I need to get to the farmhouse with my camera in tow. So out of bed I jumped and off I went! ...
Meet Carrie
Arizona Farmer and Blogger
I strive to share hospitality and agriculture. I want to encourage people to make others welcome in our homes, on the road and in our everyday life! It’s so important to share how our food and fabric is grown on the farm. My hope is that I can inspire you through our beautiful farmhouse, days on the farm, and building strong relationships that matter.
