Sharing a little sneak peak of our property/homest Sharing a little sneak peak of our property/homestead (not sure I feel qualified to call it that yet) and we have come up with a name; introducing....Cedar Brook Haven!!
We have a laundry list of projects and ideas for this place so lots of updates to come. First up is a reno to our detached garage and a garage addition on the main house. A chicken coop has been commissioned and we'll be picking up chicks after we come back from a trip planned in February. Also we plan to plant several trees around the property, a garden, a small orchard, and start a compost come spring so we are in researching and planning mode on all of those. Any homestead / green thumb advice is welcome! Maybe after all that I'll feel less like a fraud calling this place a homestead. #cedarbrookhaven #thislittlehomestead #homesteading #homestead #raisingwildflowers #homesteadlife #puttingdownroots #wearethegardeners #gardenideas #chickencoop #projectproperty #knoxvillemoms #mymidweekstories

🌹4 MONTHS 🌹 Happy 4 months to Remi Rose! Swi 🌹4 MONTHS 🌹
Happy 4 months to Remi Rose! Swipe right for progression of facial expressions whenever big sisters come around! This little one is adored, and she loves it! Her fourth month was spent celebrating the Christmas holiday with family and much enjoyment watching the Christmas tree lights blinking. Mommy also broke out the basket of baby toys and Santa brought an O-ball rattle. She  can now grasp her rattles, and it's a delight to watch her concentration as she purposefully moves her hands. She loves sitting up on your lap looking around, especially being shuttled around the house on her sisters' laps. Lots of chewing her hands and drooling. Remi weighs about 12 1/2 pounds. I'll update after her pediatrician appointment on Monday. #remirose #4thbaby #4monthsold

Another turn around the sun and what a year it's b Another turn around the sun and what a year it's been! How are my babies 6?! Brooklyn and Blakely, we've had quite the exciting year of growth, and I love watching you blossom into your own! Blakely, you started violin in January and have been at it for a whole year, and I am proud of your diligence even though you had no idea the work involved in learning an instrument. Brooklyn you started piano in the fall, and I love watching your face beam with pride as you show me what you've learned at lessons. I've loved all the plays, ballets, and read alouds we have been able to be entertained by together. You both continue to award me the title ballet mom 🩰. You started kindergarten this year, and I have had so much fun diving into that with you. You're even reading now, which blows my mind! You love pirates and sharks, which I love for its uniqueness. We went to Disney, toured New England, took several camping trips, and more. We played a whole lot. We moved to a new house! Most importantly we welcomed your baby sister Remi in September, and and it has been the best thing in the world watching you two with her. Every day with you two is a blessing 💕 I can't wait to see what this next year has in store! #raisingwildflowers #twinssisters #twins #twinmom #thisissix #happybirthday

Welcome to my blog on everyday motherhood and family travel and outdoor adventures!

I'm Samantha from @samantharaisingwildflowers on Instagram.

I am blessed to be raising three "wildflowers" after years of infertility. Sharing and connecting on all things mamahood and mom life has become my passion. I am constantly learning, growing, and evolving on this journey of parenthood. One this is certain; I am determined to give my girls a slow, carefree childhood. We love Jesus, family, nature, travel, books, and laughing. We are not afraid to be different.

“[A wildflower is] a free spirit. Uncultivated by the mainstream. Independent thinker. Bravely growing wild and free in a world plagued by conformity.” – Urban Dictionary

“There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other wings.” – Author Unknown

We would love to connect with you and have you along for the journey!

AD The holidays are upon us and that also means my AD The holidays are upon us and that also means my big girls are another year older. I can't believe that they'll be 6 within the month! 🤯 And I don't know about ya'll but 6 seems like a whole new tier of gift giving. They have their individual interests and opinions on gifts more so than ever before. One thing they wanted to try was a kid's makeup kit. Can you say #girlmom? So glad I got this Cra-Z-Art Be Inspired Glitter Makeover Studio with Case Makeup Set from @Walmart! Its a great and affordable introduction to makeup for them to explore and have fun with. Even if blue eye shadow makes me twinge, they absolutely love it! You should have seen how giddy they were to get this. I also love that the makeup is safe and nontoxic. The perfect stocking stuffer!
