We took these maternity photos around our homestea We took these maternity photos around our homestead on the most beautiful snow day!  I am so grateful for the blessing that this pregnancy has been and have tried to savor every moment!  My 35-week pregnancy update, along with more photos, are live on my blog!  Linked in bio!
Are you craving more time with your precious famil Are you craving more time with your precious family?  I know I am!  Being at the beach always makes me slow down and soak in the moments. (Well minus the moments I was chasing my 1 year old across the sand!)    This past weekend, I was reminded that in this upcoming year I want more time with my family to enjoy these little moments.  My beautiful family is growing in just a few short weeks. 
And while I have big dreams to chase this year, I’m committing to being present in all of the little moments in their lives.  Balance is key when building a dream life and I’m learning to master it one day at a time.  2021 is going to be our best year yet at the Harris Homestead!
The countdown is on until we welcome our little gi The countdown is on until we welcome our little girl into our home!  All the nesting and preparation has officially begun now that the holiday busyness is over!  This week we made up a large batch of our homemade whipped diaper cream! We will have two babies in diapers so we need ALL the diapering essential stocked up!!!  This is the only diaper cream we’ve used on my son and have had great success with this and cloth diapering!  The tutorial video will be coming to my YouTube channel soon but the recipe is super simple!  • coconut oil 
• bentonite clay
• essential oils, optional  Then we whipped all ingredients with a mixer!  My little helper enjoyed making a mess but oh the memories we made together! 💙  #homemadediapercream

It’s crazy to think that in just about 10 weeks, It’s crazy to think that in just about 10 weeks, we’ll be welcoming a baby girl into our lives! 💕  As I am planning my 30-week pregnancy update video for my YouTube channel, I’m amazed at how fast this pregnancy is flying by!  Having two babies under two is going to be a challenge, as I’ve been told by many mamas!  I’ve heard that having babies this close in age is going to upset my son’s world...and mine and my husband’s!  “His world will be turned upside down.” 
“He’s going to get a big wake up call.”
“He’ll be jealous and start acting out!”  And I may find all of this to be true in a few short months. However, I know that God has gifted me an amazing support system and HE is bigger than those silly worries!  Worry and fear is of the enemy, NOT of HIM!  HE will give me the strength and love to give my two babies all of the love and attention they both need.  If you know a new mama or mama to be, send her some words of encouragement  not words of fear!!! Encouragement goes so much further!
Baby it’s cold outside...finally!!!! ❄️ It Baby it’s cold outside...finally!!!! ❄️  It’s December 1st and we had our first COLD night here in Mississippi! Well at least what we consider cold here in the south!  We even had a few snow flurries, but they could have easily been mistaken for dust!  This fireplace finally got some use  and is no longer this clean and soot free! By the way, this is not a new home we moved into last year.  I’m not quite sure why the previous owners never used their fireplace, but we sure enjoyed it last night!  Maizey even got in some posing before we lit the fire! 🐱  Is it cold yet where you live?!
My heart melts into a puddle every time I look at My heart melts into a puddle every time I look at this photo! Never knew how much I needed a little boy in my life! 💙  He’s just started giving the best hugs and I hope they never stop!  Our Christmas tree farm visit was a success and we are so excited for this holiday season!  @mr.t_harris
Hi there friend, I’m Ammie! I haven’t formall Hi there friend, I’m Ammie!  I haven’t formally introduced myself on here since my initial post over 6 months ago! I have made so many great friendships since starting to share on this platform and would love to meet even more of you!  Here’s a few facts about me:  In just 3 months I’ll be a mom of two under two! Life is about to get wild and I can’t wait!  My husband and I are remodeling our very outdated home one project at a time...most of this is done late at night! We love a good challenge and my husband can figure out and teach himself anything! He amazes me daily!  I love being outdoors with my little family and we are slowly expanding our homestead! We love gardening and plan to get our first set of hens next spring! My husband and I would eventually love a farm full of animals!  I am a high school math teacher by day, but on the weekends and at night I strive to create creative content for my blog and YouTube channel.  I’m am obsessive about researching natural, homeopathic remedies and I love to share what I learn and use with my own family! Don’t hesitate to ask!  I cannot go to bed with dirty dishes left in the sink! Laundry on the other hand, I could leave it in the basket for days!  I have a major sweet tooth and I’m always looking for ways to adapt my favorite desserts into healthier ones!  I rearrange at least one piece of furniture every time I clean the house!  I’m so thankful for all of the amazing friends I’ve met through this community and would love to know a random fact each and every one of you!  Please share below! ⬇️❤️  #harrishomestead

If your life is not blossoming in the way that you If your life is not blossoming in the way that you imagined, it might simply be that you are not planted in the right soil.  I recently heard this quote from a friend and it resonated so perfectly with me.  Last year, we planted some ranunculus bulbs that, sadly, never bloomed.  Were they planted in the wrong soil? 
Were they not well nourished?  Yesterday, we planted some tulips in that same spot…the spot above where my son and I are playing in the dirt, enjoying the precious moments life gives us.  Like those bulbs last year that never blossomed, sometimes we stumble into stages of life where we feel as though we are not thriving, and are more or less stagnant.  If we are not planted into the right environment and at  God’s perfect timing, we will not prosper and grow as individuals into the life we’ve imagined.  With the new challenges and adventures I am currently undertaking, I feel as though God has planted me right where I belong, in the perfect soil.  And I can’t wait to keep on sharing with you everything I am learning and the ways HE is growing me along the way!  We only need the proper soil and nourishment to grow and blossom like these beautiful tulips we just planted will next spring.  Your turn! Are you thriving in the current soil in which you are planted? If not, jump up and make a change!  @mr.t_harris
