Summer has me feeling tired!
Our little farm has done nothing but grow lately! I can barely keep up! Let’s not even discuss the inside of my house 😳 Here’s a little peak of where I’ve been. #thewindyacre #gardening #homestead #minifarm

When you have a large family sometimes you have large gaps between the oldest to the youngest! And when you have large gaps you may have crazy weekends full of celebrations that other families may not have. And when you have weekends full of celebrations you may have a mess… And here I am in the aftermath of a 5th birthday party for my little and a baby shower for my big! #largefamily

    How do you get kids out of bed if they don't wanna get app mine or 5 and 6? I am a foster mom also what do you recommend for a crib mattress? I am having my first baby June 14th. My name is Ashley.

      Hello Ashley! I’m sorry I think I read this at the wrong time and forgot to respond because of that! I literally have always just used mattresses that were donated to us with all the foster kids that have gone through our home. I’ve only had maybe 5-6 kiddos under 2 years old. I haven’t really came across a problem getting kids up that young! I always get the morning people and my kids and myself are not morning people! 😂I know with my own I tend to just dress them myself while they are still in bed trying to wake up. I did see on a Facebook reel this week that mom‘s dress their kids before they go to bed when they have to get up in the morning if they know that they won’t get up easily and then that way they’re already dressed and they don’t have to deal with that part. I know I’ve started a lot of times having my older kids eat at school because of the different times I have to drop off, that’s helpful for the morning rush. I’ve always been kind of weird about sleeping in clothes though, even on the kids pajama days they have to get up and put clean pajamas on before they go to school lol
