FabFitFun

My beautiful sister sent me an offer for a FabFitFun starter box!!!  I really wasn't familiar with this service.  I mean I'd heard about it, but didn't know what it was.  My sister told me she had just received her first box and loved all of the products!!  She felt it was a great value for the subscription price, so I signed up to get a starter box.

I got the box last week and wow, was I impressed!!!!  I received 4 items in the starter box.  A lovely little ceramic tray that I'm using to put my jewelry in when I wash dishes.  A super cute little overnight makeup bag to use while traveling (and you know how much I love to travel)!!!   I also received two beauty products that I LOVE!!

I got a TULA Probiotic Skincare cleanser that I've been using every night.  It has a clean, fresh scent and really does a great job removing the makeup from my face!

I also got a Whish firming night mask that, again, I LOVE!!!

So if you've been on the fence about joining the FabFit Fun subscription service, below is a link to give it a try!!  I love it and I've already signed up for the Annual subscription. I can't WAIT to get my next box of new products!


Have a blessed day!!!

End of an Era

Sometime in the early morning hours of Sunday, January 26th, our brooder barn (the barn where the baby turkeys are started) burned to the ground.


To put things in perspective, this barn is 50' wide and 440' long.


Since it was the middle of the night nobody was in the barn and we're thankful no one was injured.

We still have 3 turkey barns, the "grow out" barns, and they have turkeys in them.  Once those birds ship out the end of February, we will be out of the turkey business.  You can't raise turkeys without a brooder barn.

Due to their age, our turkey barns were not insured for replacement value, and the cost to rebuild is frankly a lot.  So by the time we would build a new brooder barn and then work all those years to pay for the new building, it's just not worth it to us.
Especially at our age!!!

This is truly the end of an era for us.

We've been raising turkeys for 22 years.

We knew the day would come when we didn't raise turkeys any longer because our barns are old and eventually they wear out.  But we thought the decision would be ours to make,  not made for us. 

But I know that the Lord has a plan and I trust Him.

Please pray for God's wisdom as my husband and I embark on a new phase of life.  We intend to focus on our beef cattle operation and hopefully do some traveling since we won't be tied to taking care of turkeys.

This is truly the end of an era for us.

But an era we're looking forward to
