Welcome back, this episode we talk something we both feel advocating for is important- SAFETY. Not only do we as mothers try to learn scenarios, tips and get advice for farm safety but we like to research on our own as well.

Welcome back! We have both been busy and too honestly didn't have a great topic this week so we thought we would chat our farm planting updates, some government assistance happening currently, life in general and our upcoming Safety episode we are both very passionate about. Prayers all our fellow friends in Ag are hanging in there and able to get crops in! See ya next week.

Hot and heavy into planting and the busy growing season in MO and KS for us. So we figured what a good time to chat ways to be a better farm wife and also the things NOT to say to the farmer in your life. Just a light hearted episode and planting update from us both. Happy PLANT2020 and into GROW2020 to you all.

"Be strong now, because things will get better. It might be stormy now, but it cant rain forever." Welcome back! In this episode we discuss plant 2020 and some current events. As always we chat that limiting your news and keeping a positive and grateful outlook on life will keep a smile on your face. Times are tough but so are farmers. We fully understand and feel how hard 2020 has been and will c...

Here we are entering the time when we do it all alone while our husbands are in the field. But hey we were made for this right? This social distancing farm life? Well we seem to think so. And we also truly believe approaching each season and time in life with gratitude and extra optimism is how we cope. Do we still have bad days or not so okay times? Of course we are human, but we don't un pack an...

Welcome back! This episode we chat on how we advocate for agriculture to bridge gaps between producer and consumers. The funny thing people seem to overlook is that we as producers are also consumers. We mothers shop and have the options to choose in the grocery store as consumers as well. We share our story to try and bridge these gaps, bust some myths and bring light to how amazing we feel Agric...

This episode definitely goes out to all our Working/ Stay at home Momma friends and listeners this week. As Kylie and Whitney struggle in their own day to day guilt as moms, wives and home makers we decided to chat it out and let you know its OK to not always feel OK.

Hey friends and welcome back to our 2020 season of podcasting. This episode we are going to discuss living with an abundant mindset vs a scarce mindset. We think this applies to life in general and we compare to our farm lives. In a nutshell someone with an abundant mindset is an optimist and is genuinely happy for others when they are successful. Those with a scarcity mindset are competitive, jea...

As most of you know we began this journey without ever meeting in person. Building a relationship via Instagram and daily texts. Well we finally got to meet up in Nashville last week.

Our husbands equally enjoyed one another and all the farm talk, which made it bitter sweet! We want to...
