Todays discussion about the dairy farm tour we took is being sponsored by Midwest Dairy Association but all content and opinions are my own. This weekend my family and I had the wonderful opportunity to meet an amazing family – the Bremers.  Janet and John Bremer along with John’s Parents and their two grown children are dairy farmers – with an average sized dairy farm, about 128 cows.  The farm is a family-affair, and they do not hire out for {Read More}

So, when a woman gets pregnant, after the excitement of telling friends and family, she gets on the computer or goes to the store and starts looking at…… BABY STUFF! So much baby stuff!

No one was injured so for that I am extremely thankful.  But honestly – It happened a few days before heading to Brandcation, which made me question whether or not I should go because it would cost more and we were now trying {Read More}
