I tell them often, “you’re never going to tell

I tell them often, “you’re never going to tell your grandchildren about the most epic day you spent on screens.” Scrape your knees, catch a minnow with your hands, pee behind the barn, eat wild blackberries till your belly hurts, run barefoot, catch fireflies, get stuck in a tree and call for me to help you down, talk to animals, fly a kite, build a fort, grow something, jump around pretending the ground is hot lava, make a hotel for ants, write “fart” and “butt” with a stick in the dirt, take something apart to see how it works - I don’t care. But live all the days of your childhood, because you just get it once. Childhood is something we protect fiercely around here. Those 18 summers. Those days slipping through our hands like grains of sand, one by one. Planting seeds in their hearts that we hope will keep them coming home long after the summer of childhood has ended. It’s not a popular message anymore, but in our eyes it is a worthy fight ☀️

Fuzzy new fluffs from @meyer_hatchery 🐥

This is year five for us with new spring chicks.

Chicky tips:
The first thing we do with our new fluff balls is dip their beaks in their water so they know where it is. We give them “magic water” (a splash of apple cider vinegar, drop of oregano eo, and gob of local raw honey stirred in their waterer) to give them the best start to life. Then we give them high quality, organic (non-medicated) feed, and lots of grass + sunshine once they’re fully feathered. They get moved to fresh grass every few days and have no shortage of bugs and all the good stuff nature intended!

Are you adding to your laying flock or raising up your own chicken nuggets this year? If so, what breeds are you going with?

He asked me on a milking date. Made me coffee. Got the kids to watch the baby. Held my hand on the way to the barn. Told me about all the things he’s passionate about lately. Been loving him since we were 14. He makes it easy.

Thankful to serve a God who so personally knows my pain, is with me in it, and has a plan to redeem it. Happy Easter 🌷✨ Raising a broken hallelujah as I am overcome with the yearning for my little sunshine girl that is present every day, but always highlighted on days like this. And fully immersed in gratitude and JOY because we know the ending to the story! Death, where is your sting? My resurrected King has rendered you DEFEATED. Amen, and amen, and amen.

Harbor used to come home every day talking about h

Harbor used to come home every day talking about her preschool teacher, Miss Kara. She was a celebrity in Harbs’ eyes. Harbor even got a stuffed animal cat when we were on vacation one year, and she named it “MIKAWA” (Miss Kara). To get her to pee in the potty, we’d tell her that Miss Kara LOVED to pee in the potty. It was the only thing that worked.

I would get texts from Miss Kara during the days when H was at school, pictures of all the kids sleeping on their mats, but Harbor asleep in Miss Kara’s arms. And when Harbor left for Heaven, our hearts ached for Miss Kara’s heart along with our own.

I wish Harbor could know (I hope she does), that Miss Kara has been with us ever since, taking care of her big brothers and sister, and now her two littlest brothers. That she’s part of our family. That she lets her baby brothers sleep in her arms, just like she did. And that one of those arms has the most beautiful sunflower tattoo 🌻

Miss Kara stood in the gap for us, blaring worship music through our house and writing the word of God on little hearts in a season when we could hardly get out of bed. Miss Kara and her entire family have prayed boldly over us, day after day and year after year, and adopted us as their own in many ways. It is still not uncommon for me to find verses tucked in my drawers or written in dry erase marker on my mirrors all throughout my house, right when I need them.

You don’t find someone like Miss Kara. The Lord sends them to you. And we are so beyond thankful that the Lord sent her to us 😭♥️

(Also, let this photo be a testament of my kids’ love for Miss Kara... because that kid on the right hates just about everybody 😂 #sorrybuttrue)

“Bless our house as we come and go. Bless our ho

“Bless our house as we come and go. Bless our home as the children grow. Bless the families that gather in. Bless our home with love and friends.” Amen 🌷

Hi, I’m Madison 👋🏼 I am married to my midd

Hi, I’m Madison 👋🏼
I am married to my middle school sweetheart and best friend in the world, @tylervining, and we live in middle-of-nowhere Oklahoma with moomoos and piggies and donkeys and goaties and more chickens than we can count.
We have 6 children: Caden, Story, Nolan, Harbor, Oakland, and Acre, ranging from 12 to 1. In 2017, Harbor unexpectedly left for Heaven three weeks before her third birthday. Since then, we have navigated the days with our eyes fixed on eternity, walking the line between earthly joy and gratitude, and knowing full well that this world isn’t and was never meant to be home.
We love adoption (two of our six joined us this way). We love homeschool (this is our seventh year). We love growing and raising food. And we love being together.
I’m a hippy home birther and will chat birth with you any time. “There’s a secret in our culture, and it’s not that birth is painful. It’s that women are strong.” Photos and videos from my last two births are on my blog (link in bio). The last one broke the internet with 1.4 million views in 2 hours 🙈 I am so grateful for this platform to encourage moms.
I wear a lot of hats work-wise, and they’re always changing. For 7 years we’ve led a group of 100,000 families with young living, which has enabled us to be together 24/7 as a family, travel the world, and bless others like crazy. I also have a clothing collection, photo presets, and do fun collaborations here on instagram - basically figuring it all out as I go 🤪 Years ago I was a professional photographer, and some of you have been here since then! Your families will always have a special place in my heart.
Most of my instagram stories are of my kids & farm animals, while I’m sipping coffee and wearing socks with sandals, because that’s 90% of my life. I’m doing my best to pass the time until Heaven. Keep your expectations low and we’ll be fine 😉
Thanks for connecting. I would love to hear a bit about you and welcome you to this space, so please share ♥️
