Almost in!!

We are officially half moved in. We should be moved in with the rest of our belongings this weekend enough so we can spend the night in the new house.
Then we'll be cleaning the rental house this next week and enjoy the new house!! I can NOT wait to cook in it!!
Our cat and dog are finally friends. They have been playing tag most of this evening and have kept us entertained.
I know all of our hard work and late nights will be worth it once we are in!

Moving Blah, Some Ponderings

I'm feeling overwhelmed with moving but we are slowly making progress. My husband and I are quite a team though. :)
 We both are exhausted but in 2 weeks the madness of moving will be coming to an end and we can get our new house all set up!!!
I can not wait to finish the boys bedroom and have that ready within the 2 weeks (Lord Willing)!!!
The backyard is looking amazing and this weekend we are going to figure out where I can have my garden next year.
I put away some of my kitchen items last night. I'm not sure if where I put things that it is where they will stay. I still have the rest of my kitchen to move. Which I won't move until we are just about ready to stay in the house.
 You know something, we're VERY blessed to have a place of our own. Oh the memories our children will have fixing it up ourselves!!!
Tonight we are supposed to start signing the first paperwork for adopting our 4 kiddos. I'll keep you posted!
Till next time <3

More pics

These are of the living room.:)


Little Touches

I started moving stuff into the new house today. I hate the actual moving process but am setting things up as I move them!
 Below is a pic of my laundry room with a few touches added to it. The irons are the treasures we found. The crocheted dresses and shorts are my great grandmother's that she made . The white socks long john's my grandmother made all the guys one Christmas and my great aunt made the little outfit out of dishcloths. The wash board is one of the first antiques hubby ever bought for me!

Here is the dry sink I moved today.

Treaaures Found

Hubby and I felt like American Pickers yesterday. I'm looking for an Old Cast Iron kitchen sink with drain board. I was told about a cast iron stove for sale for $5 while visiting  in-laws.
It wasn't exactly what I was looking for but we found other fabulous treasures. We bought an old fashioned rake which is sitting in front of our new living room window where our flower bed will be built. We also bought 2 old irons that are very rusty but will be in my laundry room as decor. Also 2 decorative little milk cans I put on the shelves in my new kitchen as well as an old cast iron pot made to hang in fire place. It has a crack in it but I can't wait to hang it up in my kitchen. Last but not least hubby found a red wicker shelf that matches the white one pictured below with my spices. I finally have something to out the rest of my loose spices on when we move!!

Shout out

To all the bloggers on my reading list. It's nice to visit other farms virtually!!! All if you want a great blog to read please visit my cousin's blog #BlessingsfromFelicityFarm. She and her Dh live in a rural town in Maine and farm.

It's official!!!!!!

We officially own a house!!!! I'm so giddy! After Many years of dreaming of a country little homestead we will be creating our little tiny farm over time.
Hubby and I were very blessed today with this house. It is a fixer upper and I can't wait to dig in!!! We will be giving our 30 day notice next week for where we are currently living but that gives us some time to move our stuff! (man are we blessed with STUFF)
I plan on going down to the new house tomorrow to take pics of it after my 2 ds leave for their home school co-op. I will be posting pics this weekend!!
They are prepping the road it is on as they are widening it so it will be very interesting to try and move while paving is going on.
I absolutely can NOT wait for hubby to clear the land out back and to plant flowers. Also I'm very excited for him to till a garden spot for us!!!
Please pray for our new home to pass licensing as we need to get our new home licensed until the adoption of our 4 children goes through. (Lord Willing December).
We are so blessed and keep checking back to see the Wyld Dream Farm in progress.

Today is The Day!!!

We go at 10 this am to sign paperwork on our house. I'm so excited!
We thought we were going to be signing yesterday but the lawyers were busy.
I will be posting pics this weekend of our dream come true for you to share with me.
