Living A Farmer's Life: Workout Week Fourteen

About Me

If you love horses, dogs, photography, art, writing, gardening, outdoor activities and/or reading, we will probably get along. Who am I kidding? I get along with just about everyone!

I'm in my thirties. I live in a house we built from the foundation up on the same ten acres as my parents and grandparents. My family is important to me. Although I love to travel and explore, at heart I'm a homebody.

On my blog you will get to read about my many, diverse passions, hobbies and obsessions. I love learning and experiencing new things. I love making lists, goals and having big dreams. I love to photograph and write about my experiences to share them with you, so I hope you'll join me on my adventures and subscribe to my blog.

My interests are as ever changing as my mood, so expect something different all the time, but a few things remain constant in my life. My passion for horses, dogs, learning and always striving for more!

Here are a few links that might interest you.
