My name is Resa. I’m a wife + Mama just striving to live a simple life. I started this blog to document our journey toward turning our 25 acres of farmland, nestled on the banks of the Tuckahoe River, into a cozy homestead! I'm passionate about all things motherhood, organization, and natural living. My hope is to pull that together in one place to help others. Read More…

Last week was a particularly hard week for me. Wor

Last week was a particularly hard week for me. Work stress along with heightened anxiety from all that’s going on with the world has left me completely depleted. I woke up this morning determined to have a better week. As I sipped my coffee, I noticed that the crabapple tree in our backyard was blooming and told myself I would have to check it out this afternoon. Well friends, not only is she blooming, but she’s blooming as she’s never done before. She usually turns white, but look at all of that pink that’s never been there before! I’m taking this as a sign that God really is doing a NEW thing in my life- and that there is far more beauty coming!

My little girl loves to color and paint just like

My little girl loves to color and paint just like her Mama. As the weather continues to approve, I’m hoping to start nature journaling with her. I figure we can go for walks and collect items or take photos of things to paint when we get back to the house. Have you done this with your kids? How did it go?
What other passions do you share with your kids, and how do you incorporate them into your day?

We had our very own private Easter Egg Hunt this m

We had our very own private Easter Egg Hunt this morning- and it was awesome. There was no rushing to get everyone out of the house on time , no crowds to get lost in, no kids fighting over eggs, no toddlers having melt downs... and best of all..no groups of frazzled parents looking overwhelmed. It was all just pure joy! How wonderful is that?

This afternoon, I just put the ham in the oven, Graham is down for a nap, and Lela is playing with her new toys on the porch. I’m looking forward to a little time in the word and reflection, while Mike putzes around the farm.
May your day be full of the same Peace and Joy wherever you are, and may you find Hope in this season- just as the disciples did that very first Easter Morning.

Have you met my little farmer? As scary as this pa

Have you met my little farmer? As scary as this past month has been, I have to say I am really enjoying the extra quality time with my kiddos. Working one week on + one week off has given me the opportunity to see them grow so much.

PS: Graham said “Mama” today... and I would have totally missed it had I been at work.

Last night I tried something I’ve always wanted

Last night I tried something I’ve always wanted to do, but had never done out of fear. I’ve always told myself that I’m bad at drawing- so I def shouldn’t paint. Well, a friend (or like 5 really) recently recommended painting as a form of therapy for my crazy anxiety. So, I bit the bullet, bought the supplies, and jumped in head first.. Well, maybe I just dipped my toe... but this is seriously huge for me!

AND you know what? They were (all) right. It was super relaxing, and now I have something meaningful to frame. The book that this passage and illustration came out of has been one of Lela’s favorites. She even has it on CD and listens to it at bedtime most nights. Now we read it to Graham and his eyes light up the same way hers do.
Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me lately. You have no idea how much it has meant to me!

Have you all checked out makerscommunitystudio yet

Have you all checked out makerscommunitystudio yet? She opened her studio two short weeks before all heck broke loose, which is so super sad. Well in the meantime, she’s been making these adorable process art kits and delivering them (no contact) all over the area! We bought this paper egg kit (3) from her the other day and have been making 1 egg a day. This is today’s outcome! Seriously, check her out and support her small business. We need folks like her in our community more now than ever!

You know that sweet little potato plant I posted a few weeks ago after the hard frost? Well here she is today in all her glory! How is your garden growing these days??

Have you been feeling really disconnected and over

Have you been feeling really disconnected and overwhelmed the last few months? I sure have! I knew that more time in the word was exactly what I needed, but let’s be honest- Mom Life! .
Well, this past week, my friend ohhbutwhatifyoufly recommended this new bible study by pastorkdmoore and I could not be more excited! It breaks down the Bible into 52 doable weeks. You can seriously do each day’s reading in 10-15 mins. I might not have much me time- but I am determined to make this work. Who wants to join me?? .
I purchased my copy on amazon, but you can also get it Barnes & Noble, BAM!, and a few other places I believe.

Found this little guy on my cabbage last night...

Found this little guy on my cabbage last night... Did some research and found out that it’s a Colorado Potato Beetle larva. I’m really trying to keep my garden organic, so we reached out to a local organic farmer in the area and he told us to get Jack’s Dead Bug Brew. Have any of you ever used it? Any luck?

Aunt morgantcnj stopped by today with a super fun

Aunt morgantcnj stopped by today with a super fun surprise for Lela. She found a whole bunch of monarch caterpillars in her garden and decided to share a few with us. They’re now happily tucked inside this container with a whole pot of parsley. Someday soon they’ll build their cocoons and then the real waiting will begin. So many wonderful life lessons to learn here! .
Have you ever watched butterflies go through their metamorphosis?

So many seedlings have popped up in my garden this

So many seedlings have popped up in my garden this week. Unfortunately, most of our potato plants didn’t make it though that hard frost a few weeks back- but this little girl here did. Yesterday while I was at work- Lela & her Memaw surprised me by planting more. We are so fortunate to have a supportive family and community during these crazy times.
Did you lose any plants in the frost?

My afternoon goals include..... Not much more than this! What are you doing today?

The way he loves my babies is beyond compare! When

The way he loves my babies is beyond compare! When I was pregnant he was always by my side- making sure I was ok. When they finally arrived, he was right there too- sleeping by their cribs at night. Today he’s always right in the middle of the chaos- allowing both of them to crawl all over him- even to poke and prod at him (I’m sorry buddy)... without even flinching.. We honestly could not ask for a better dog!
