Thirty-two Things in Thirty-two Years

August 24, 2020

Welp. I am another year older.  In case you missed it, I turned 32 this past week.  Thirty two, yet I still feel 16.  I think that is a good thing? I have learned a few things in the past thirty-two years of my life and I thought it would be fun to share my […]

Tips for Feeding TODDLERS

July 17, 2020

Feeding toddlers is basically a science.  One day they will eat an entire carton of blueberries, they next day blueberries are “YUCK”. If my kids had it their way, they would eat hot dogs for breakfast, lunch and dinner. (It is possible that has happened before). I am no toddler whisperer and I am FAR […]

Uh, Yes I Wear Make-up To The Barn.

May 22, 2020

I hear it all the time, “Why put on make-up to go out to the barn? The cows don’t care.”.  Its true, the cows don’t care…but I do.  Putting on a little make-up each morning makes me feel like a human.  It makes me feel like I have my shit together and can take on […]

The Crushing

May 8, 2020

Guys, guys, GUYS!  Have you missed me? I haven’t blogged in like a freaking year, but twins. Okay?  I have been sharing quite a bit on Instagram, but keeping the blog alive hasn’t been much of a priority lately.  That’s about to change! I made a vision board last week (yes, I am one of […]

Life with #ThemWegnerTwins

August 1, 2018

You haven’t HERD much from me lately, but I have two little rascals who keep me pretty busy.  In fact, I am basically a stay-at-home mom these days; just making special appearances at the farm.  It’s a temporary gig and I plan to return full-time to the farm eventually. Currently, the twins and I take […]

Dairy Good Christmas Traditions

December 2, 2017

This past September, I became a mom…to TWINS!  The husband and I are officially the parents to one little farm boy and one little farm girl. While I am unsure of what “sleep” is, we have never been happier. I have always been a fan of Christmas, but with two little ones in the house […]

Kids These Days

November 17, 2017

As a dairy farmer, I have had some experience interviewing employees-mostly high school students. Some of these teens have an ag background while others do not, but what many of them seem to have in common is the inability to make a good first impression. Now, I’m not saying every youngster I have interviewed lacks […]

What do Dairy Farmers do with all that Poop?

November 13, 2017

We all know that cows poop…a lot. Luckily, cow manure is not waste to farmers. In fact, it is very valuable. We capture the manure our cows produce, store it in a giant pit and, when the weather permits, reuse it as a natural fertilizer. It is a great soil nutrient and helps us to […]

Cash: The social media SUPERSTAR

September 10, 2017

If you follow me on social media at all, you probably know that I am basically obsessed with my dog.  I love dogs in general, but my dog, Cash, is just the best.  My husband claims Cash and I have an unhealthy attachment to each other.  I don’t know what he’s talking about- isn’t it […]
