Welcome back ladies and what gentlemen are along on this ride with us. This episode we chat preparing for harvest, 9/11 and updates from our farms. GRACE PATIENCE and UNDERSTAND are our go to words for harvest. "If you gave it your best, then your best is enough!" Our mantra for harvest. Whits Blog Post we chat for harvest tips, hacks and recipes- https://farmwifeguru.com/2020/... We giggle, we chat our struggles as mom, farm wives and in general and we want you all to know we are here for you in any struggle you are facing! As we said please go listen to episode 6 the one where we prepare for grace, its a favorite of ours and one we really think is good to hear before harvest and any busy season you are entering!
We are know how much the weather can affect us as farmers. Seems we are gamblers and the weather is the dealer. To plant and tend to seeds solely on our faith that God will provide the right amount of rain and the right amount of sun is what farming is. And when things unpredictable happen and take away what we have worked so hard for, its a hard uncontrollable pill to swallow. So we are sending out big prayers to all the farm families and folks struggling in Iowa currently. If you have missed it on the news (mainly because it hasn't been recognized) August 10th 2020 the Midwest, mainly Iowa was hit strongly by Derecho, hurricane like winds that took out crops, homes, grain bins and so much more. We interview an Iowan who experience the storms rath first hand. https://www.facebook.com/eshel...

We welcome back Kylie with big virtual arms. She is back from vacation and ready to talk all things hard in the mom-ing department. Seasons and circumstances change in life as Moms and it also brings new hard situations to face. Crops are struggling in Kansas, but thriving well in Missouri! We hope wherever you are your crops are growing well in 2020 and if not that you are controlling what you can and staying as positive and grateful as possible. We also hope that whatever season you are in and struggling with as a momma, you are not alone. We are always here for you and praying each other stronger! This pandemic has proven to make it tough to feel your feelings freely and not fear judgment or shame, but here at the MWFW podcast we are behind whatever decisions you make and choose kindness and acceptance, even if its different than our own opinion! We chatted a few favorite podcasts we currently have listened to, so here they are: Pioneer Tour podcast- https://bit.ly/32MCP4p Grace and Growth with Addie- www.addieyoder.com Moving on podcast- https://www.movingonpodcast.com/
Welcome back friends! Kylie and her sweet family are on vacation this week, but i still wanted to be able to chat and bring you some light so I had a friend guest co host with me! Mrs Amanda Nigg from South Dakota. Amanda and her family have been through more trials in the past year than any of us would ever like to see. Their home burnt to the ground and all their belongings, memories and valuables inside with it. She is a truly amazing woman and lights up the social media world! We wanted to talk today about toxic people, toxic relationships and how its ok to want to leave them. Living in today's age and so much unknown makes us appreciate our lives, our health and positive uplifting people more than ever. So wanting a break from the toxicity is understandable and e have both been through it. We hope this makes you feel a little less alone and more brave to protect your "circle".
How are you preserving memories on your farm, of your family and in your home? Well if you're like Kylie and Whitney you are very guilt of slacking in the photo book, baby book and history preserving department. Our giveaway interview winner Laura Holmgren from Utah is on their 6th generation farm and discussing their amazing family history. We chat ways to start small in your own homes. We challenged ourselves to get better. History is so amazing and should be preserved for generations to come! 'We are not makers of history, we are made by history." Send us your ideas for keeping track of historic times, photos or ideas in general! Follow Laura on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/holm...
Hey y'all. We are back and this episode we are chatting some deep topics: deepening our faith, embracing our current season and growing right where we have been planted! We truly hope you enjoy this episode and feel right at home chatting with us. Kylie and I needed this chat with one another more than we thought. Jen Stutzman that we mentioned in this podcast who influenced Whitney so much during her hard time in the ER can be found here: https://www.instagram.com/heartofthebison/?hl=en
Welcome back, this episode we talk something we both feel advocating for is important- SAFETY. Not only do we as mothers try to learn scenarios, tips and get advice for farm safety but we like to research on our own as well. Midwest Farm Wives teamed up with PERC (Propane Education and Research Council). They have an amazing website for kids and parents both. Listen to this episode as we chat #safetysunday tips that Whitney hosts each Sunday and some propane safety on the farm or ranch. http://propanekids.com/agsafety/https://propane.com/ Above are two very good links: One for kids to learn, play and interact. And the other for info and tips for adults!
Welcome back! We have both been busy and too honestly didn't have a great topic this week so we thought we would chat our farm planting updates, some government assistance happening currently, life in general and our upcoming Safety episode we are both very passionate about. Prayers all our fellow friends in Ag are hanging in there and able to get crops in! See ya next week.
Hot and heavy into planting and the busy growing season in MO and KS for us. So we figured what a good time to chat ways to be a better farm wife and also the things NOT to say to the farmer in your life. Just a light hearted episode and planting update from us both. Happy PLANT2020 and into GROW2020 to you all.
"Be strong now, because things will get better. It might be stormy now, but it cant rain forever." Welcome back! In this episode we discuss plant 2020 and some current events. As always we chat that limiting your news and keeping a positive and grateful outlook on life will keep a smile on your face. Times are tough but so are farmers. We fully understand and feel how hard 2020 has been and will continue to be. But we are planting seeds because we believe in tomorrow! ( Our friend Amanda Radke has a great tee with this saying on it) Have a happy and safe planting season from the Eppersons and Larson crew!
