Sometime this summer I was made aware of a contest over at Manna Pro to win a homestead makeover. To enter you had to submit a video of what you would do with the prize of $5000. I got all excited because my poor little farm could use a makeover. I need a new milking shed and a proper chicken coop would be nice too. So I emailed the farmer over at Herron Hill and asked her to shoot a video of me. She graciously agreed to write the script, shoot the video, edit the video, sit through countless hours of me flubbing my voice-overs, wrangle the children, goats, and pigs and then take a few more hours to figure out how to email it to Manna Pro before the deadline.
We had so much fun making this video. The experience alone would be enough for me but now I want to win for her too. Not really...I mostly want to win for me. But we did have fun. A lot of fun. We laughed a lot and you know how much I like to laugh. I won't be quitting my day job for acting anytime soon. Most of my attempts ended up on the cutting room floor but she came up with a beautiful video that I want to share with you and hopefully you will all "like" it...if you know what I mean.
So enjoy a peek into my world and feel free to "like" it and comment on the youtube channel of my video. The girls could use a new coop and I've been saving my new nest box from Pam and Billy just in case they get it.
A special thanks to the farmer at Herron Hill, a gal with many talents. She went above and beyond my expectations and produced a video my family and friends really enjoy.
If I don't win it will be a wonderful piece to show at my funeral someday.

This video is wonderful!! I don't know what others did, but yours is really lovely.
The music, the children and the animals on your farm are beautiful and real. Your commentary is sincere and well.. you just seem like a genuinely, nice person.
Hope you win and if it counts... you have my vote.
What a great video! Why are your goats so much better behaved than mine? LOL
so...how many times is one allowed to like the video?
Your video is wonderful! You ladies did a wonderful job creating it. I only can imagine how much fun you had working on it this summer. I loved getting an inside view of your farm and into a bit of your life. I hope you win the prize. :D
Oh, that goatfarmer! What a gal'! The video is awesome. You deserve to win so I hope those guys are paying attention! (P.S. this video is much less embarrassing for us goats than that one the goatfarmer just posted. I'm just sayin' ...)
Just lovely.
I really loved the video and have "liked" it and shared with all my friends to "like" as well. It was beautifully done! Good job!
I wish I could be the one deciding who gets the make-over. I definitely would pick you (and not just cuz you're my sister!) It's a well-produced video and your loving heart's motivation was compelling-it brought tears to my eyes! Love, Gigi
