Thanks for stopping by! I'm Magi, a scratch cooking, homeschooling mama, learning to raise good kids, good food, and good fun on our teeny-tiny little farm!
Do you ever feel like bloggers only share the pretty or funny parts of their life? Yeah, we usually do. I’m actually a little iffy about weather I really want to post this. Usually I’m pretty open because most of my failures are kind of […]
