Millix Family Farm

This is the month when you take a moment and look at all the things in your life you are thankful for. I am taking great pleasure in doing this, especially  this year.
My life is full and busy, but with a new kind of full and busy! Many new things have happened and come to fruition in the last year. We have started our little brood
of laying hens, added some beautiful Araucanian's, some pretty little Bantams and of course our puppy - Ruby. My children seem to have settled into a different more peaceful existence. Ruby, on occasion, stirs up the pot with her "puppy energy", but most of the time she can put us on the floor with laughter. My shining moment this past year is the birth of my absolutely perfect and beautiful son. He amazes each of us everyday with every single thing he does. The excitement and pure wonder in each of his discoveries is absolute delight to witness. To watch my older four children fall so in love with such a little being is beyond words.

We have taken the first steps in our ever yearning desire to have our own little farm. We figured we would also incorporate what I love doing, baking, and turn it into a little business. Please visit our web-site at www.millixfamilyfarm.com. We had the pleasure of being invited to the Coventry Farmers Market for the last three weeks of the season. It was great and we cannot wait to go back next year, full-time. The people we had the opportunity to meet and learn from was such a pleasure. The location was the perfect place to spend a Sunday afternoon, and a place for three generations of my family to reconnect.

I guess to sum it all up, I am so thankful for all that life has blessed me with. I have five beautiful, healthy children. I am watching a "someday I would love to...." moment come to be, our little farm and bakery, and the opportunity to simply spend time doing what I love with the people I love the most. I have learned from people I have come to know and their unimaginable tragedy that you should be thankful every day for everything in your life, especially the "little" things that you are blessed with. I am "Thankful" - every day and every moment of my life for the over flowing plate that sits in front of me and for all the people who add to it.
