New Jersey

I'm in New Jersey and I can't believe I'm this far away from home!! It's been a new experience for me, especially the plane ride. I'm staying at the Dolce in Basking Ridge and it's very nice. I'm hoping we can go over to NYC this weekend... it would be so fun! I'll post lots of pics when I get back home!  

Homesteading and being Feminine

Ever since we moved, we've been dreaming of starting a garden and a mini- farm. A few weeks ago I used all my savings and bought a Kinder goat, named Bell, who is pregnant! She will freshen in mid- October and we are so excited to have a few kids. She is so sweet and funny. It took her a few days to warm up to us, but we can finally pet her a bit. She's still not used to the little ones(she's such a temptation to chase ).

Sometimes working on a farm( no matter what size), can make it harder to be feminine. But my sister and I have decided to start wearing skirts more often and it makes a huge difference! Now they don't have to be to the floor or frumpy. We've been making ours out of old jeans we have, and they turned out cute.

I like wearing skirts, not just because they make me feel feminine, but also I know that I am covered and not causeing a brother to stumble. When I wear a skirt, I want to do womanly things, such as cooking and baking for my family, sewing, being a nicer sister to my siblings. The list is endless! What a blessing it is to be a woman! Praise the Lord!

Pictures coming soon!
