🏝Vacation🏝

Middle Creek Mama

These mountain hillbillies are east bound and down for a few days.

EXUMA. We are headed to Exuma, Bahamas 🇧🇸

We are beyond excited. The kids haven’t slept in days. My nerves are shot and we haven’t even left the house yet 🙃

We are so incredibly blessed to be able to go on this trip. We will meet up with my parents and my brother and sister in law when we get there.

We have a few day trips planned, like fishing and an island hopping excursion, but for the most part, we just want to spend our time relaxing on the beach and snorkeling.

By no means are we good at traveling 🤣 we just haven’t done much of it. But I do have a few tricks up my sleeve.

I cannot wait to share this beautiful adventure!

PS: we would love and appreciate all the prayers for our travels. 🤍🤍🤍

Did you know? 👀

With the recent harvest of my elk, I wanted to share something with yall. . .

Did you know that elk have ivory?!

They do! There’s not many sources of ivory that are native to North America, but elk have one of them.

They have ivory teeth! But not all of their teeth.

Elk are ruminants, which means they have a ruminant digestive system, have an even number of toes, and don’t have top teeth. . . .except for their ivories.

Some people call them whistlers. Some folks called them buglers. I call them ivories or just elk teeth.

I have quite the collection of teeth from over the years. I think I’ve collected enough of them to practically be a dentist 😋🤣 I’m for hire. I work cheap, but you have to sign a waiver (I’m kidding, mostly).

I’ve seen many pictures of Native women’s dresses adorned with ivories and they’re just so beautiful!

Others use them for jewelry, which is also beautiful. I hope to have a ring made with one of my teeth eventually! But for now, my collection just sits in a bowl 🤣

Elk Ivory

The ivories in the photo are from the cow I harvested last week. Cows have significantly smaller ivories than bulls.

I know some might find it odd, but I love them! Every set of ivories I have remind me of a special hunt and the sacrifice that a beautiful critter made so that I may live.

Homeschool

Falk Flock Homeschool

Hey there! I have been told that it is important to name your homeschool. While I don’t buy into that it’s THAT important, it is fun!

I’ve been posting to the social media under the name of The Falk Flock Homeschool for quite some time. I actually post fairly regularly, but try to keep it to just homeschool or kid content. There are a few things here and there about everyday life things and even some faith reels, but I’m trying to get better at keeping just homeschool related.

So, if you find yourself scrolling the social media, and want a new homeschool inspo account to follow, one that is disorganized, not aesthetically pleasing, raw, and portrays real life, give me a follow. But if you’re looking for color coordinated, Pinterest worthy homeschool days, run the other way 😂
