Hi!
I'd like to take the time to properly introduce myself. My name is Jalyn, I live in Idaho where I am a wife and stay at home mom. I live close to where I grew up and am glad my children can grow up doing many of the same things I did as a kid.
When I was seventeen my family moved to Chile where I lived until I married @justinmullet and moved to Minnesota. I love the Chilean culture and people and have always anticipated relocating there someday.
In the years since I've become a mother I've often felt like I have no hobbies or interests since most of my time is spent focusing on the needs of my family. Recently I made the comment I don't think I have any hobbies. My friend laughed and said I have a whole hobby FARM and if anyone has hobbies, it's me. I recognize that is true, although I look at my hobby farm as a lifestyle rather than a hobby. I have animals, I dig in the dirt, it's just what I do.
Part of the reasoning behind this blog is to challenge myself to look at the things I do and enjoy through a different perspective. Doing chores, cooking and parenting often feel like work but I am blessed to be able to do these things. I want to focus on the joy in daily life rather than the mundane. My hope is that taking the time to document and photograph everyday moments I will see more of life's simple joys.
I'm also fairly dedicated to things like drinking coffee and eating Mexican food, although I'm not sure those can be considered hobbies. I sporadically play guitar and violin and am always trying to discipline myself to read more.
Thanks for reading!
Welcome to Steemit. You sound like you have an interesting life... Living on a hobby farm, is a dream of mine. I've never lived outside of the city, and prefer animals>humans most of the time.
Out of my 28 years I’ve lived in the city or town for 6 or 7 years. I enjoyed the different aspects of that life too, but at heart I’m definitely a backwoods country lover. Since the majority of Americans live in urban areas I realize my lifestyle probably looks like a novelty.
Hello and welcome on Steem, Jalyn!
Thank you!

You're very welcome!!
Nice to "officially" meet you :) It does sound like you have a lot of hobbies outside of your lifestyle work - playing guitar, violin, and reading - no matter how often. And coffee drinking is the best hobby ever while watching the kids play or silently watching the sun rise and set.
Yes! I love my coffee, will drink it anytime. We have at least 4 coffee method making methods in our house so I’m thinking I’d like to write about that one of these days.
I'd like to read that on!!
Very excited about this Jalyn! It will be fun to blog alongside you. 😍 Haha
😘
Not only is eating food a proper hobby, it is by far the best one!
Anyway, glad to have you aboard Jalyn :)
Yes I do find food related activities rank quite high 😜
Welcome Jalyn, looking forward to read more about your farm!
Thank you!

Gracias por unirte a Steemit donde podrás compartir conmigo y con muchas personas más.
I'm from Oregon and play guitar, piano. You look smart and beautiful. I'm Oatmeal. I love Mexican food. I love coffee and was in Vietnam. Chile is interesting. Nice to meet you.
Sounds like we share some common interests!
Why is your name @HomeSpun? For me, I was home taught by my mom. I like your name.
Homespun means simple and unsophisticated and that is me, simple and unsophisticated 😛
Hello and welcome to Steemit! :)
Thank you!
Welcome to steemit. Hope you will enjoy it. Chile is the largest copper producer in the world. I visited the mining years ago to study their Underground system. Chilean people are nice and friendly too, the only thing is most people don't speak English :)
I lived way south of the copper mines but have visited that area. And you’re right, not much English!
Welcome to steemit! It'll be interesting to hear more about the farming lifestyle, especially for someone so attached to the city :)
Thank you! I’ve lived in the city but it’s definitely not where I thrive 🙂
Welcome to steemit Jalyn! Great introduction and I like your mindset. Looking forward to learn more about your hobby farm and what animals you raise :D Followed u!
Thanks! I’m planning to introduce more of the animals soon 🤗

where did you live in Chile? I visited once and fell in love with the mountains east of Temuco in Araucana. I think about it every day.
I was way south of Temuco, in Coyhaique. My family still lives there so I visit from time to time.
