Yesterday we celebrated the 37th Birthday of this Yesterday we celebrated the 37th Birthday of this amazing man of mine! @brockchilds is adored by all who know him. He has a tender soul yet is a rugged outdoorsman. Brock lights up a room with his silly humor & he doesn't know a stranger while always making those around him feel special. He loves the 4 of us fiercely by devoting his days to being the BEST daddy & husband possible. Our handsome guy is a spectacular chef who enjoys sharing his creations with anyone who stops by our house. Brock has a kind heart, joyful presence & is generous. He’s a passionate hunter/conservationist, a man who is constantly learning to build/repair things around the farm, adores animals & is a talented photographer. Most importantly he strives to keep Christ at the center of his life! Being able to spend almost everyday with him for the last 20 years, has been my greatest blessing! Babe, thank you for simply being YOU...never wavering from your true self throughout life’s twists & turns. Wishing to have at least 60 more years of birthday celebrations by your side ♥️

We know kiddos will love getting to play with our sweet farm animals after getting their photos captured in the #sunflowerfield , on the rope swing & around our barn. 🌻🌻🌻 ORIGINAL POST: I’m excited to announce another round of our annual Farm Mini Sessions at our countryside property in North Salem, Indiana!

Our next batch of little #cornishcross chicks arri Our next batch of little #cornishcross chicks arrived this week! These meat chickens will be pasture raised on our farm this summer & then butchered by us at the end of the season. Filling our freezer with the most natural & nutrient dense poultry we could possibly have. Feeding our own family & our amazing customers the BEST quality #farmfreshmeat ! Thanks to everyone who has already supported our little farm this year! We quickly sold our 1st 80 whole frozen chickens that we butchered in May, with only a handful left. Swipe to see them arriving in their barn stall where they will stay for a couple weeks while they are teeny tiny. Then we’ll move to 100% outdoors in the fresh air, sunshine & green grass. The last video is a snippet from our previous flock grassing in the afternoon ☀️🐓 Because when farm animals are raised well with love, healthy diets & sunshine, their meat is pure goodness. @thechildsfamilyfarm #organicliving #selfsustainable #homesteading #homestead #farmraised #healthymeat #meatbirds #raisingchickens #healthyfoodshare #indianafarm #indiana #hendrickscountyindiana #thechildsfamilyfarm #pastureraised #pastureraisedchicken #pasturebird #freerangechickens #summerharvest #meateater #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativefarming #ethicallymade #healthyanimals #farmanimals
Sweet sweet summertime. We’ve been wringing out Sweet sweet summertime. We’ve been wringing out every drop of daylight on these warm Indiana nights. Relaxing on our patio with friends is one my absolute favorite aspects of this season. Devouring delish homemade food under string lights, constant laughter with deep conversations & kiddos running wild through the farm. Over the past couple years, #countryliving & our new #homeschoolcommunity have brought us the most incredibly genuine & lifelong friendships. Oh Pierson Family…you are one of the biggest blessings! Lauren & Jon, how did we make it this long in life without finding one another! Love ya bunches @cafemome3 @jon_pierson … we’ve had a fun week celebrating your birthdays with you!
Peach season has arrived & it’s a fan favorite o Peach season has arrived & it’s a fan favorite over here 🍑 Love when we stop into one of our local greenhouses & orchards to browse their fresh fruit stands! We tend to leave to leave with a bushel of whatever is in stock 🧺 Peaches are gobbled up in only a few days because my kids eat fruit alllll day long! Below is an easy & healthy #glutenfreeliving Peach Cobbler recipe that is #summertime perfection! Ingredients: PEACH FILLING: 4 cups sliced peaches 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/2 tsp cinnamon GLUTEN FREE COBBLER TOPPING: 1 cup all purpose gluten free 3/4 cup almond flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar 1 pinch of salt 1 egg 1/4 cup organic grass fed butter 1/4 cup non-dairy milk INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a 8 x 8 inch baking dish add thawed peach slices, maple syrup, cornstarch & cinnamon and toss well to combine. In another bowl add flours with baking powder, coconut sugar, salt, and egg (or flax egg*) & mix well to combine. Add in the butter & cut with a pastry cutter or knife to make the mixture crumbly. Lastly, pour in non-dairy milk & mix until just combined. Form 3 inch "patties" with the biscuit dough and layer them over the peach filling. Bake cobbler in the oven for 25 minutes or until cobbler biscuits are browned & filling is bubbling. Divide among bowls while warm and serve with a small dollop of your favorite ice cream. Are you a 🍑 peach cobbler 🥧 fan too? What is your favorite fresh summer fruit to enjoy?!? . . . . #thechildsfamilyfarm #sweetsummertime #peaches🍑 #healthyrecipes #healthydessert #glutenfreedessert #beasleysorchard #indianaorchard #indiana #fruitsandveggies #healthyfood #glutenfreepastry
I squeezed in several senior sessions right before I squeezed in several senior sessions right before graduation this year. I’m looking forward to meeting all of the upcoming seniors I’ll get to photograph for the 22/23 #schoolyear . Payton was one of those #highschoolers ending one chapter of life & beginning a new exciting story as he enters his college years. His sweet family lives just down the country from us. So we chose to stay close to home & photograph around our little rustic town of North Salem & then ventured to my own farm with images around our barn & property. Payton is such a genuinely nice guy with a charming personality & zest for life. I’m confident he will do GREAT things in the years to come!

Happy Father’s Day to one of the VERY BEST! I c Happy Father’s Day to one of the VERY BEST! I could go on & on with the unending list of reasons why I LOVE & ADORE @brockchilds ! Watching him be an incredible daddy over the past decade, is always at the top! Brock has juggled a lot through our parenthood adventure & he always comes out the other side a stronger person for his family. Our 3 babies couldn’t have asked for a better man to care for them & to look up to in life! I have often thought, if the earth was filled with more men/fathers like Brock, imagine how the world could change!?! Beyond proud of the values he stands for, the example of gentleness & safety he provides to our babies & how he fiercely loves & intentionally respects me as a mother & wife. Brock brings laughter & silliness to every room. Enjoys cuddling & deep conversations. Unwavering from truth, protecting childhood while genuinely being present & exuding honesty. When a relationship with Christ is at the forefront, it changes a man’s heart for the better, in every way ♥️ Celebrating all of the wonderful dads who have chosen to be the BEST version of themselves for their kids, no matter what! Because in the end, our children are the ONLY earth treasure we can take with us to heaven some day! Swipe to see some of my fave images of Father’s Day in the past. The 2nd photo is one of the best…our days of carrying 3 littles at once. Then number 9 is of my wonderful Dad & my Papaw, who have adopted Brock as one of their own ♥️ . . . . . #happyfathersday #beingadad #thechildsfarm #raisingaboy #bethechange #raisingbabies #dadlife #hope #changingyourfamilytree #godlymen #godisgood #fatherhood #beanexampletoyourkids #plantingseeds #thefuture #mentorship #menofgod #blessings #lifechange #lovingdad #stefaniechilds #changingthefamilytree #familytree #gooddads #twindad #twindadlife #raisingsons #raisingdaughters #raisingboys #raisinggirls
Dirt can actually make you HAPPIER! Did you know Dirt can actually make you HAPPIER! Did you know that specific bacteria within organic soil will actually boost brain health, is a natural anti-depressant & aids in easing anxious thoughts? We all need more of that at this stage in life, right? It’s interesting that the further away our overly-sanitized western world has become from actually touching the earth, we are the sickest we’ve ever been. Relying on fake synthetics or overly processed, rather than what is real. Killing off the GOOD bacteria with the “bad”. While our culture’s mental health continues to decline at a rapid rate. Most avid gardeners will tell you that their landscape is their “happy place”. The physical act of planting/harvesting in soil or even simply playing outdoors is a stress reducer & almost instant mood lifter. Mixing in vitamin D from sunshine & fresh air. It is soothing to the mind & relaxed the entire body. My recommendation this summer…get your hands & feet DIRTY! Stand barefoot in the grass for at least 5 mins a day & soak up the positive energy from the ground! Go pull weeds. Play with your family in friends in the sunshine without slathering yourself in harmful chemicals. Plant something new & let your hands sift through soil! Your body & mind will be forever grateful to you! I don’t believe our bodies were meant for an antibacterial life or living most of our days indoors. It was meant to soak in nature because it benefits our souls & entire beings for the better! Nature provides so much goodness if we take the time to dig for it! Get back to the roots of the past, for the healthiest future! Do you agree? Let me know your thoughts below 🪴Share to stories 🙌🏻
