Seed Exchange

We went to our very first ever Seed Exchange a few weeks ago. We had no idea what to expect and was more curious to see what it was all about.
.
We showed up closer to the end and was bummed to find out we had missed the raffles so lesson learned.. show up to these as closely to the start time as possible. It also looked like there were tables with coffee and food but we were excited to get to the barn and see what the exchange was all about.


We headed to the barn and oh my! Look at all the seeds that were there! There were soooo many! We loved how they had the envelopes with the stickers for you to label the seeds and the way it was easy to navigate. They also had a separate table with packets of seeds.


We ended up getting almost all the seeds we had on our list for the year as well as many more ! Oh and they were all FREE! We will definitely do more of these and can hopefully contribute some of our own seeds .
Have you ever done a seed exchange? If you are wanting to , check out your local conservation district and see when they will be hosting one.

Spring Refresh

New organizing pieces .. yay!! So excited for these to come!
.
I’m hoping to organize my cookbooks/ magazines with these and to create a more restful, organized space.
.
I have to say, I was hesitant on ordering the baskets but they are AMAZING quality! So happy I ordered them now!
.
I picked up all these pieces from @joann_stores and had them shipped. Our local store was picked over but I easily found everything online and at great prices!

New Chicks 🐓

Our chicken flock just grew by three more littles 🐣🐓
.
We had planned to get all leghorns but then decided to get this sweet Ameraucana that we named brownie ❤️
.
Sadly we ended up losing Brownie this week as well as one of the leghorns . So hard to lose these little ones and was our first time losing chicks and this was our fourth batch .
.
But there was a sweet reminder in talking to the littles about it this week as we processed through it as a family . In the Bible , we are told that not a sparrow falls to the ground that our Father in heaven doesn’t know about and even with these two little chicks , God knows them ❤️ and the scripture goes on to tell us of how much more our Father in heaven loves us.
.
“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10:29-31‬ ‭ESV‬‬

You are Loved ♥️

In case you need a reminder today …You are so very loved❤️
.
““What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:12-14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Amorette’s Patisserie @DisneySprings

One of our favorite things to do when we go to @disney is to try all the fun food ✨
.
Amorette’s Patisserie @disneysprings did not disappoint! It was a beautiful shop with lots of fun things to try like this Mickey Mousse that was delish as well as visually stunning❤️
.
We also felt the prices were perfect ranging on average from 3$-20$ .

There’s even a little alley with bistro tables where you can sit to enjoy your treats✨

Pistachio Eclair✨Yumm!
.
There are so many fun pistachio things coming out lately and this is no exception ❤️

Sunset on Mile Marker 0 …delish ❤️

Amoretta’s Patisserie is a must stop on your next visit to @disneysprings
