Moving Day!

Hi, all! I’ve finally launched my blog on my brand-new website. You can keep up with my posts, new experiences, and photography over at farmkidblog.com.

Fortunately, I have a many more opportunities and capabilities with the new website. Unfortunately, I can’t move my followers with me. I’ll be closing this site soon, but I encourage you to click the link above and check out the new A Farm Kid’s Guide to Agriculture!

Thanks for sticking with me as I work to become a better writer and agvocate. If you’d like to keep up with new posts, please give me a follow on the new site. :)

Thanksgiving

The American Farm Bureau Federation announced recently that the cost of a Thanksgiving dinner for ten will cost just under $50.00, or about $5.00 per person.

I’m thankful for the relatively inexpensive cost of food in America and that I get to spend Thanksgiving at home with my family. What are you thankful for?

Wine Bottle DIY: Santas and Snowmen and Christmas Trees, Oh My!

I’ve been really busy the last few weeks preparing for my church’s biennial holiday craft bazaar. Now that it’s over, I can finally share some of the crafts I’ve been working on and instructions on how to do it yourself!

As you may know, I like wine. Fortunately, many of my friends do, too. They helped me collect nearly 60 wine bottles in a few short weeks to complete these adorable Santas, Christmas trees, and snowman decorations. Turns out that recycling (and emptying the bottles) can be fun!
