Hi! We are Phil and Alex! After leaving California in an RV, traveling full time, and helping our littlest with an open heart surgery, we've settled down in Tennessee. We found our homestead land and are learning each day how to live a more sustainable life. We are a family grown through the miracle of Adoption & Infertility Treatments. Our precious daughters are Kinsley Grace (7 years old), Callie Jo (6 years old), and Cassidy Drew (2). Our passion is to encourage families through infertility, adoption and building stronger healthier families. Thank you for tuning in! We hope you are encouraged!

I'm sorry guys I love you but I have to give you some constructive criticism. The chest clips on the kiddos car seat are way to low. If you were to get in a car accident the chest clip would bare down and internal intestines would come out. All three carseat straps are very lose that's not going to them in. And yes I have another one 😕 NO jackets! That's another danger. I love you guys and I just want you all to be safe.

[@donnaimeson5753]

I love Callie Joe’s new smile! When my husband bought our tractor I said it was a midlife crisis💁‍♀️. I was so wrong, it has made are life so much better. You have so many blessings, go let you love multiple 🥰

My Dad still remembers the day their Dad pulled them out of school the day their first tractor came to the farm in 1953. They were all so excited. Prior to that they traded farm labor for the use of their neighbors team of horses to plow their fields. They had a small herd of dairy cows (20 head), chickens and a pig or two. He was just talking about it the other day.

[@kcandyou5263]

I love that you gave her a day off. Just very enlightening to the way the world is in how Alex said she feels bad that Phillip will have all the kids to himself. But he is their dad. Us moms need to not feel bad when Dad has to have the kids. Mom's take less time to themselves that would help everyone feel better just because we tend to be guilty or shamed into feeling bad for leaving them with anyone else even their own dad. Mom's enjoy time to care for yourselves. Dad's enjoy time with your kids without mom there.

Finally! If this is referring to a tractor, it has been so needed. We got ours for our Sumner County, TN home on 42 acres. It was bought at zero percent interest.

[@galeem713]

I learned the same thing. I bought a house in a small town that had about half an acre. After I got sunstroke using my gas mower, I bought a used lawn tractor. Sold it to my neighbour when I sold that house. In my new house, I have twice the property. So I bought a used John Deere lawn tractor that has a lot more features than my first one. I might sell it when I sell this house if the new owners want to buy it. But I want a bigger property for my next and final home. But I was good. Bought my first house with full financing. Put more than half down on my second house. Bought my 3rd one for cash and have doubled its value with all the expensive repairs like septic, roof and doors and windows. With the excessive prices of homes, I hope to be able to buy my next one for cash. I am not sure.

[@jtdamomma]

If you want Ethel to farrow in the chicken coop, you need to put some wood bumper bars all around the edges, or she'll smother them. Also, block off a corner where Ethel can't get to, and put a heat light up in that corner and cordon it off with a 2x4, big enough for a litter in a triangular fashion(corner to corner). Piglets #1 that kills is the cold, and a close 2nd is mom laying on them. I'd hate for you or the girls coming to find that. It just can happen so easily. I can't wait to see those piglets! The girls will be ecstatic, well, actually, every one of you will. I know how excited you get when new babes are on the farm. I raise meat rabbits, jumbo cortunix quail, and have my garden (I now live in town, so I'm limited). I call myself an urban homesteader now. lol. It's the best I can at present.

[@donnac.3268]

Yes much bigger made to store and fill your diffrent machinery perhaps having a few months to a years worth like 50, 100, 500 gallon size..lots of working farms have them. Ya don't want to drive the tractor to town to fill the gas tank. Also would be a heck of a good prep item for..the zombie apocalypse, that seams to becoming a reality IF things don't change with Brandon and world events. Perhaps you already have one tucked away on your property already...😉 im a suburbanite so I have to settle for a few 5 gallon cans in the garage to run a generator ( if needed ) and fill snowblower and lawn mower.

Can't believe it's 3 years already. It feels like yesterday you started out this great adventure. I have so n'joyed watching your progress and feeling your joy. The girls are growing like weeds and such a reflection of your time and love invested in them. I rarely ask for prayers for myself but could do with your prayers at the moment. I am suffering an acute back problem and have just been told I can't have surgery because my heart is too weak to cope with the anaesthetic. So I will have to continue with my quality of life being badly affected by the pain and my favourite hobby my garden will have to be done by someone else for me. Of course I will take pleasure from the garden but I will miss the joy the hands in soil gave. Please continue to keep us in your lives and share your experiences with us it is so exciting. P.S.
