CJM Inspiring Mom: Roberta Rose (part 3) — The Little Farm

For those of you who have just joined us, and don’t know anything about the amazingly creative Roberta Rose, or why she’s been chosen as an Inspiring Mom, you can read the two previous posts here and here.

This post is about the other side of Roberta Rose, the side that I’ve manged to keep a secret thus far, but that makes her even more inspiring. This may not surprise you, but Roberta Rose is not only a great craftswoman she’s also raises farm animals (on a small scale)!

Rose-Home-Paddock

I just loved how the Roses are using their children’s former play area (complete with play house and climbing equipment and a small farm shed) as a paddock for the animals!

Rose Home Turkey

And just in case you were wondering what that bird was in the previous photo, well here’s a closer look,
it’s a turkey! Want one of these in your backyard?

Rose-Home-Ducks

I just loved these white ducks, though they were a bit camera shy.

Rose-Home-Small-Play-Shed

And the rustic farm aesthetic of this shed just seemed so in keeping with their home.

Rose-Home-Angora-Goat

This is a goat!  Sorry about the quality of the photo, she just wouldn’t stay still.

Rose-Home-Goat-Barn

Here’s a shot inside the former playhouse turned mini-barn. Even the goats got their house decorated — with a collection of old license plates.

Rose Home Angora Goat Buck

What on earth is this? You ask? Well, the Roses raise Angora goats on a small scale and just purchased this Angora goat buck to ensure that there will be some baby goats in the spring. Check out those horns! You gotta be pretty brave to bring home one of these guys in your van, even if the van is a rental!

Well, I’m sorry to say, that’s it for the photos of Roberta’s wonderful home, but we do have the interview with Roberta to look forward to, (coming soon) and believe me, it’s great reading! Until then, all the best to each and every one of you. And do take a few moments to leave a comment, you’ll make my day!

    I have loved this mini-series wandering around Roberta-Rose’s home and gardens. I will confess that I feel quite envious. We live with mum and only have two rooms, our sitting room and our bedroom – the rest of the house is where mum roams free.
    Still, as I look round my little allocated space – I am encouraged that even with only two rooms to our name I am sure that I can add some of the charm that Roberta has created.
    That is of course, after I have finished my Noah’s Ark project – I’ve been collection boxes and materials like a wild thing and finally I have enough raw materials to get creative…
    Which is good really – because I am slowly running out of time to make Channukah cards for the family!

    Thanks so much for your honesty! It is my sincere hope that in seeing Roberta’s lovely home, readers will not feel that they are lacking, but rather be inspired by the creative possibilities that certainly exist for each and every one of us, regardless of the sizes of our homes. One of our challenges in this world is to be happy with the share we’ve been given, and to turn every situation into something good. Truthfully, living in a small space (assuming that it’s not with eight kids) has many advantages! First of all, think of all the time you don’t have to spend cleaning, and all the junk you’re not collecting because there’s nowhere to put it! With a bit of creativity one can certainly make a palace from two rooms, it’s about choosing colors and things that make you feel good, and deciding what’s important.
