Most of my adult life, I have dreamed of living a simple life in the country. A comfy home, some animals, lots of gardens, and quiet time with God, my family and close friends. I tend to get off course in this fast paced, modern world that we live in. Many times, I have found myself longing for a bigger, better, more successful and financially richer life. I spend too much time on my phone and not enough time in prayer. I fill the calendar with activities instead of blocking off days for rest and play with my family. Too often, I am rushing through one activity to get to the next, instead of enjoying and being present in the moment. My “Pinterest Life” is beautiful, but my real life is often just a HOT MESS! Despite my many faults, I am a blessed woman in so many ways! I have a great husband and an amazing daughter. We live in a beautiful, little town in New Hampshire that we absolutely adore. Our small home is a 1950’s cape that is surrounded by a brook, pond, forest land and amazing lush, green pastures. We have a cat, four chickens and a small Jersey calf (coming home soon!). Our yard is beginning to be filled with gardens of all types - flowers, herbs and vegetables. Essentially, I have all that I need for the simple, country life that I have dreamed of. Now, I just need to learn to “be still”. Put down the phone, clear the calendar, and enjoy the beauty that surrounds me. I created this page to share some of the things that I am most grateful for in my life. Pictures and stories of some of the “simpler times”. A reminder to myself to enjoy the wondrous and amazing life that God has blessed me with! - Kim❤️
