We all LOVE having top notch activities to plug our kids in to. But, I am definitely noticing a drain on the volunteer pool. I think it is time to refresh that pool and make sure we can all say confidently we are giving back to the activities we love so much!

There is a stirring of excitement in our house and I can’t wait to tell you all about it, today on Ranch Raised.

Now it is time to do a reset around the house and settle in to our homeschool routine. I’ve got some peaches to can, some tomatoes to gather, and some sourdough to bake. How about you? What do you have going this week in your home?

I want to hear from you! So tell me your favorite ways to preserve peaches on the Ranch Raised FB page! Share a recipe with me or just leave a comment! Happy preserving and have a great day!

That was like a heart check moment for my daughter and I. Kids, take the time to be deeply grateful for all of the opportunities that you have been given whether it be in 4-H, athletics, the fine arts or whatever. And don’t forget to thank the people that make it all possible.

I applaud you, I see you, I am always cheering for you! You do not need to have a ball in your hands to accomplish great things during your youth. You may just need to walk into a barn and follow your passion!

I’m going to wrap up by saying I am terrible at being the tooth fairy. If there was an EPD for it, I would admittedly be in the bottom 2% of the parent population. So, I will be over here celebrating National Dog Month instead.
