Gosh, I love this so much. I’ve very much been stuck in this same headspace- that my life is boring and not worth telling about. Grateful for your vulnerability here, friend!

This really spoke to me, Stacy and I always enjoy your writing. ❤️

My oldest turns 10 in a few days and we are in a new fast (but slow) season, with a two-year-old in tow. I am right there with you in trying to trust that I am prepared for all of it.

Oh my, I can so relate to all of it; the farming, writing, motherhood and learning to live in the season we’re in with trust. Beautiful words!

I love your stories and you are so correct...the seasons change...the fields change and life with our kiddos change. Here's to hot meals and special moments.

I loved reading all of this and appreciate the reminder about seasons with children not lasting forever. I especially enjoyed imaging you and your family having your dinner in the fields x

Literally this morning I was thinking to myself "I hope I get a newsletter writing from Stacy soon. " Loved this piece. My favorite quote is from Brene Brown - it's the ordinary that makes life extraordinary

Of late, a few writers have tapped into that wisdom of fastening their life down, more in line with nature's rhythms. Appreciate you connecting us with where the tractor tire meets the mud. Ordinary's working just fine, Stacy!
