If you have read through my blog or even made it over to my instagram account, you have noticed I'm a little bit of an animal lover. Okay, maybe little is an understatement. Currently, our pet family includes a Toy Poodle (Koda), a German Shepherd (Bones), a Chicken (Survivor), a Duck (Samuel L. Quackson), a Beta Fish (Winston #2), a Syrian Hamster (Pocahontas), and 9 Degus (Ruby, Rita, Rosemary, Patron, Pyrite, Pepper, Phantom, Pascal, and Pharaoh). 

I am currently waiting on mail for our dogs and degus. (I know, I know FAQ, What is a Degu? ) Our dogs, Koda and Bones were asked to be brand ambassadors for Pack Leashes and I am SO excited to get their new collars in the mail! Maybe it's cheesy, maybe it's not, but I couldn't help but get them matching Bow Tie Collars and a Lead with Carabiner. I'm going to keep it our color/pattern selections hush hush until the box comes in! 

While I'm waiting to unPack our new goods, you can jump on over to Pack Leashes and scope out all the cute accessories that they have available for the furball in your life! AND before you get sticker shock, if you choose to make a purchase use our special discount code RURALPUP20 to get 20% OFF your order! Supporting a company like Pack Leashes is a no brainer for us!

I've been struggling on where to start, or rather Restart this blog. Do I take you back and try to play catch up? Do I just move forward and give you pieces of the past as it becomes relevant? I literally haven't posted since 2016, the baby was 5 months old then, but is now getting ready to turn 6! He's in Kindergarten and I am no longer with his father. I guess we will just caulk that up to "You live and you learn" without going into the nasty details right now. I have, however, remarried. My new husband and I were married Valentines Day 2020, right before "All hell broke loose" around the world. In total we make a family of 8! 

So much of my being was wrapped around being a stay at home mom, but for the past 4.5 years I have been thrust into the workforce. I started getting to the point where I really didn't know who I was anymore, I was in survival mode trying to make ends meet and take care of my family. 

So, since I've entered the unknown, a rather uncharted plan for this blog, I'll just take it day by day and hope you stay with me as I go back and forth from the here and now to the past.

Have a wonderful morning dear followers!

Love Always,

 

The past couple of years have made it nearly impossible to continue writing my blog. My life has changed so drastically that I decided to start over, from scratch. Please be patient with me as I tweak and rearrange this blog to fit my current life, likes, and lifestyle. Thank you to everyone who has stuck with this blog even though it has gone rather dormant for so long. Stay with me, I promise things are going to get more interesting!

Have a great day dear followers!

Love,

I have been trying and trying to keep up this blog and I have been failing miserably. Something needs to change evidently, I think I'm going to have to rearrange my schedule a bit better. Both girls are now in school, so hopefully, I can slip in some time to write. I love to write and I love to share our world with you!

 The next adventure we will be embarking on is purchasing a few calves. We are officially on the search for some BEEF calves. I am excited, since its been years since I have been able to raise calves and these will be the first here at this home. We have created quite the little hobby farm and I am so very proud of it and of my girls for helping out the best that they can.
