We Live In Iowa

Hiya, Cait here. I write about food, herbs, textiles, and homelife. Bedhead is the style of choice around these parts as basically every aspect of our life revolves around getting to bed time alive or wishing my three hooligans would sleep just a little longer. Thanks for reading!

Hey Mom look at my giant eyebrows!!! 😂😂😂

The lamb slaughter always is a little bittersweet. Witnessing so intimately this part of our food process leads me to feel intensely grateful for the humble lives those sweet lambs lived. I have a hard time seeing their lifeless bodies as the men prep them to be taken to the butcher. I think if everyone experienced this at least once in their life we’d see a much healthier and solemn approach to meat consumption in our country. Those 10 chicken breasts all lined up in their foam wrapper were at one time 5 chickens that died so you could eat them, but we don’t often picture the slaughter process at the grocery store (if ever). These animals give the ultimate sacrifice, and I am grateful for the nutrition they provide to my family. #happythanksgiving

They like to feed Sissy the fainting goat animal crackers. I love watching these hilarious animals. #goatsofinstagram #sheep #tinathealpaca

Hi guys, I’m feeling like I should write something but I don’t know where to begin or what I have to say. “This is gonna be great, I can tell!” I don’t usually share selfies of myself because most of the time I feel like my tiredness is the most apparent thing on my face. And I hate wearing glasses. But I only have one pair of contact lenses left that I’ve been making last for about 12 months. But I guess I feel like it’s important to say: hey there! This is what I look like most of the time. My life isn’t perfect, and i don’t expect it to be. And I really want to decorate my own house but as with everything so far it will come when it comes...but my soul aches for it. And sometimes that ache for my own space and my own life and my own routine is so deep and all encompassing that I can’t see past it. Grad school is no joke guys. As the supporting role there are more times than I care to remember now where I don’t remember the last week of insanity; of engaging three tiny people all day long for 15 hours day in and day out. Of making time for a creative outlet... I would never choose to be a military wife. I haven’t a clue how you crazy ladies manage. I guess, thank goodness for the community of people rallying behind me and Mr. Hummer...and all of us who are doing things that feel impossibly difficult. Anyway, hope your Wednesday evening is a nice one. Peace, Cait.

There is no question that Fall is by far my favorite time of year. The colors are so magical. And cozy sweaters, homemade cocoa, and all the food. 🍂✨

Happy Halloween from the woodland faeries!

After much toil and three pairs of wings, I’ve finally figured out a superior faerie wing making method! Work in progress 😎 #halloween #faeries #glitter

A year ago today at 6:30 pm this little boy was born. I had no idea what to expect from baby boys but he did not disappoint. This little boy is a snugglewump, a goof ball, and a sweet heart all wrapped up in one tiny body. He is the uniting force in our family and has always had a great sense of humor. I am so grateful I get to be this boy’s mama. Happy First Birthday Pete! #babyboy 🎂🦔🍂🐠🦗🙈💩

This valley has my heart. And this journey is a rollercoaster of emotions. 🕷🦋🌲🍂🍄
