I became "Anne of All Trades" out of necessity. 10 years ago I got my first pet, planted my first seed and picked up my first tool. With no background in farming or making things, I wanted to learn to raise my own food, fix things when they break, and build the things I needed. Today, I travel the country teaching furniture building, permaculture farming, and sustainability techniques I've learned by trying, failing, and repeating. A lot can change in a decade, and your new chapter starts now.
Anne, your videos are awesome! I learn so much and you are so funny!! ❤ I have a heart condition so the no watering and no weeding makes a huge difference for me!
Seth and I are loving watching this. We were exactly where you were not long ago and had no idea how much work was ahead of us! you guys are going to do awesome! It might get hard, and frustrating but don't give up. Now that we are using our trailer we see how it was so worth it! Can't wait to see what this becomes. ❤🎉
OMG. Hearing your mom say the words "cooperative learner" just finally gave me the words to explain how I learn. Visual and/or Kinaesthetic learner were never quite enough, and Auditory or Read/Write are just wrong. I was told I just wasn't trying hard enough so many times. Thank you so much for helping me find the right words.
I’ve had 4 miscarriages; I now have three beautiful children ranging from 9 to 6 months old however the grief of those babies who left too soon doesn’t leave you. It changes. But I still wonder what would have been and talk to their little souls. Sending hugs ❤
I knew a woman whom ran a bit of a rescue. Basically, when people buy the animal of the moment, say, mini-pigs, and then they grew up, and you grew tired of them, then she took them. She aged out, and no longer does it. But, she quickly got way, way to many mini-pigs, that others have grown tired of. She had to stop taking them. But imagine, where you take rescue animals in, and quickly hit 40.
Was so honored to get to say "hi" to you at the Homestead Festival a couple of weeks ago. I'm the one that mistakenly called you Jill - until you turned around and I figured out my mistake and you were so gracious !!!! Loved hearing you speak that weekend and just know that my prayers are with you for your grief you have shared with us and I can only marvel at your honesty and graceful spirit in dealing with what you are dealing with. Everybody's "hard" things are different and again - thank you for sharing your life with us !!!! Prayers of comfort to you and your hubby and that your future has more highs than lows !!!
When my son was killed in a car crash, life stopped. Then it changed. I saw a video on Job, from the Bible. Being a Christian it’s hard to believe God would intentionally let something so awful happen. But these words keep sticking with me- “ It is for your good, and My glory”. And also “Where were you when I formed the Earth”. And My ways are not your ways. Those kind of stick with me. It’s been 2 years. Knowing that God is looking over my family is the biggest relief I get, and knowing I’ll see him again is good too. My prayers are with you and your husband. Do not let something that God controls, drive a wedge between you two, instead, let it drive you together.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my first baby boy in my 5th month of pregnancy a little over 30 years ago. Although it is a devastating experience that almost destroyed me, it did get better over time. Even now, I still feel a loss in my heart for that child, but I was blessed to have 2 wonderful sons afterwards. I just wanted to tell you, I only discovered your RU-vid about a month ago (lazy gardening drew me in!) And you have inspired me more than you could ever know. I'm in the process of a raw land to home purchase of a little over an acre and while waiting for my home to be ready, your videos are giving me so many ideas and inspiration so thank you for being you and sharing your skills, knowledge, and hopeful personality. May you find peace and comfort.
Awww Anne, as you said, “there are no perfect words” and also, “me too”… along with so many others here. My mind works very logically, and thru my horrible grief I remembered that…. 1. as u know, one in five end this way, so not unusual 😔 BUT 2. statistically the majority of miscarriages are followed by a live birth! Also, to have become pregnant and carried means that your body was able to do about a million difficult things. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for you guys going forward… and as so many lovely mommas here point out, 3. there are many paths to motherhood! Any baby who finds themself with you and Adam has won the parent lottery!! Thank you for sharing with us.
