Happy Birthday Miss Carlie!

One year ago today, Miss Carlie decided to make her appearance into the world.  She was my early bird, arriving at 2:13 AM weighing 8 pounds 8 ounces and was 21 inches long.  I was instantly in love with my gorgeous little princess.

 I wasn't the only one who fell in love with that sweet little face.  She had three older siblings who her pretty excited to meet her.  Well, two sisters anyway.  Her big brother was more interested in how the remote for the tv worked!

My Weight Loss Journey- The Beginning

Today is the day I will actively try to lose weight.  Why today?  Better question: Why not today?  I have a lot of weight I want to lose and there is no time like the present to get working on losing it.  So today I will start off by openly admitting how much I want to lose and what my goals are.

What I weigh: 185 pounds (rounded up to the nearest pound)
Goal Weight: 125 pounds
Total to Lose: 60 pounds

Pants Size: 16
Goal Size: 7

Hi and Welcome!

Welcome to our new family blog!  I'm sure you're probably wondering why anyone would want to blog about being a Farmer's Wife, what's so interesting about that?  Well, honestly, a Farmer's Wife is a lot like a regular wife, I just happen to be married to a Farmer.  Ours lives don't differ all that much from everyone else's, except that a Farmer's job is at home and really is a 24 hour, every day a week job.  But really, this blog isn't for talking about farming.  It's a place for me to share about my family, to share about my weight loss journey, to share about the new crafts and baking we try out, to share about all the new organizing I am going to attempt to do (which is a lot by the way), and to just basically share.  With four kids, I needed a place where I can just blog about the frustrations of being a mom and wife, blog about the wonders of being a mom and wife, share all the fun we have and encourage others to try some of what we do (or if you want, for you to share stuff for us to try), to rave or vent about products we've tried and maybe try to find something better for everyone.  Being a stay at home mom can be a lonely job somedays since you don't always get to interact with adults.  I am hoping this blog will let me share how I'm feeling and how everything is going while still enjoying the chance to see my babies grow up every day.

So, let me introduce you to our wonderful family.

This is our family.  Okay, the picture is kind of old being from Christmas, but you get the idea.  There's my husband Greg, the farmer, myself, and our four wonderful children; Aleyah, Makena, Carlie, and Landen.
