    A Simple Farm- Kristin Reynolds and Vincent Giesmam - Family Homestead and Business.

    This week on “Here, In My Time”, I sit down with a mother and son duo! Most would know them as “A Simple Farm”, a business that brings there homestead to you. Kristin and 13 year old Vincent graciously shared family and homestead life, as well as just some behind the scenes stories of how they run a business!  ----- Reynolds has a passion for learning new skills and putting her hands to many different hobbies. She took her desire to better everyday usage by creating her own line of home care from remedies to deodorants. With that came more knowledge and old time skills that began the business she now runs, bringing her homestead to you. “My husband says I have hobby addd, and that fine, I just love to do everything. I think its completely fine you don’t know what moves you to do something. In the winter I will crochet, but we will also be developing teas or trying new recipes.”  Vincent Giesman, Reynold’s 13 year old son, has become her right hand man in their family business. Geisman is a spice connoisseur and has developed his own line of, what he calls, “Flippin’ Good Seasoning.” When asked why he called his brand this, he simply replied, “Because their flippin’ good!”  “Mom was into the, no offense, old lady stuff. And I'm like, this is kind of boring. I'm not into the old lady stuff as much anymore, because I just watch her and she's over there on the couch just crocheting away. And I look what she's making and there's this like 85 foot blanket. Like, whoa, when that happen? I was like, well I mean if she's doing all that on her own, I bet I can make some of mine on my own. And I start thinking and I'm like, spices. Everybody likes spices. It's needed.”  From that moment Geisman was able to not only mix and create the recipes but he designed the logo, planned finically, packaged, and advertised it all. From home grown ingredients to homegrown ingenuity, is continually bringing the next generation into homesteading through not only his line seasoning but also his love for helping with marketing.  Though there is a lot to say about Geisman’s skills on the homestead, there is something even more special about this young man, the wisdom and encouraging words spoken in this episode showcases a character of depth beyond his years.  Before I give it all away I must leave it there. This episode is very special, it is the first time I get to sit down with two guests, but not only that, this episode truly bridges the gap between generations. There is so much laughter, joy, and funny stories shared! I encourage you grab a cup of coffee, or some tea and enjoy this lovely conversation with this mother and son duo! Thank you so much Kristin and Vincent for having tea with me and allowing me to share your story! It was such an honor! I am incredibly proud of this episode!  READ FULL ARTICLE: WWW.HEREINMYTIME.COM Products and Guest Info: Places to find A Simple Farm products: Sage & Stone 124 W VanBuren Street  Columbia City, IN 46725 The Elevated Collective  419 N Jefferson Street Huntington, IN 46750 Coffee Bean Counter Vault Finds Shop 10 W Franklin Street Huntington, IN 46750 And online at:  a-simple-farm-store.my Shopify.com https://www.facebook.com/asimplefarm https://www.instagram.com/dayinthesimplelife/ https://www.youtube.com/@asimplefarm CONTACT ME: WWW.HEREINMYTIME.COM https://www.instagram.com/here.inmytime/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583151527148 Gmail: Hereinmytime@gmail.com

  2. Emily Perkins - Life In The Spotlight.

    Emily Perkins - Life In The Spotlight.

    There are moments that no else sees, those quite moments that are not yet signaled to conclude by the sound of the curtain cord and the flare of the lights, where the breaths are deeper and the heartbeat is more bold. It holds the excitement of unveiling humor, captured minds, and lightening weights of the bustling hum of audience that are arriving. It's the knowledge that whatever happens tonight will never be again. This is show. The house lights dim, the curtain is pulled, then there in the middle of the stage, a spotlight. It's one more breath, the orchestra begins, shoulders back, chin up, it is show time. You may have had the experience of escapism when Emily Perkins stepped into the spotlight, but the same feeling does not fade when the spotlight does. The genesis of Perkins natural prowess was nurtured by her mother and her boisterous personality. “I grew up in a musical family. So my mom taught all three of us kids to sing. She would have us like stick our fingers in our ears and sing rounds until we figured out how to stay on our parts. So that's how I learned how to sing harmony from a very early age…..But my mom has a gorgeous voice and actually, honestly, my whole family can, they can all sing. Some of them have not used it as much as I have. But that doesn't mean that they don't have the ability to do so. But, I grew up in a musical family so I always was interested in the arts. They joked that I could sing before I could talk. And so that was always something that I loved. I think being the youngest child you always kind of like are looking for a way to stand out a little bit, you know, make your mark. So I was always ready for a little bit of attention. I think that that has had a big impact on sort of how I ended up pursuing the arts and sort of wanting to get on the stage. And for sure, like my musical ability, my mom, the bass line that I got with her was better than having music lessons as a kid. So that was a really good start for me.” Her name is known throughout many local counties, in this there is richness. When she stands on stage, she is able to unfold a story through her vibrato and bring not only tears of empathy for the words she brings forth but also of laughter when she brings to life characters. It is more than her talents that makes her name bright like that of Broadway, for when she is bestowed the spotlights she brings others into it making her a true star in every other performers eyes and a genuine friend when the certain is drawn. This episode is full of amazing stories, but also some down to earth talk about just life. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy this utterly hilarious, down to earth, star of a woman. Thank you so much Emily for sharing your story and encouraging others to step on stage as well. I have had the honor of standing in the wings and the truth of the matter is, you shine. Your gift brings far more to our lives than you can imagine! . READ FULL ARTICLE AT www.hereinmytime.com

  3. Tiffany Taylor - Teal Stone Homestead - Life Of A Homesteader

    Tiffany Taylor - Teal Stone Homestead - Life Of A Homesteader

    Finding home has been the quest of every man, woman, and child sense the beginning of time. Life has a way of creating a journey before us to take in order to truly appreciate the idea of home. Throughout history we read stories of people finding their way towards home from the pioneers of America to the depths of the Indigenous people of the African jungle, it has been told through many tongues in vast cultures, over many campfires, around the table in many differently designed shelters. Home, in the physical sense, looks different to every person but the feeling is exactly the same, this is where I belong.  For Tiffany Taylor, like most, the journey towards finding home has been full of twists and turns that eventually lead her to walking in the woods that held memories from her childhood. It was on this walk when home became visceral and those same trees still grow on her own homestead, the soil of her roots.  “I think like it's funny cause when I was a kid, I was always just like, I'm going to find myself a property that has a creek running through it, a woods, and a couple of fields. I didn't know back then that I was talking about literally the place that I already was. It just feels like I belong here. My homestead name is Teal Stone Homestead. I grew up with my dog Stone. I got him when I was like 11 or 12 and he passed away in 2020. so every time I go into the woods, I just think about like my childhood and being kid and just walking with my dog in the woods. It literally, every single time since we live here now, it brings me back to that. It just feels like home, It always will be home, and I don't know if I could live anywhere else actually. Growing up, being around animals her entire life, Taylor would define herself as an animal lover, but her biggest love is rabbits.  “I did rabbits growing up. When I got my first rabbits it was when I was around 10 years old and I did 4-H with rabbits up until I was 18. And then obviously I had to sell them to go to college and all of that. So I think in the back of my head, I was always gonna get back into rabbits. It was never a question,I was always going to get back into them. I just love rabbits.” .......... It was then that the journey towards home began to bring her to the walk in the woods. It was time to grow the homestead which meant they needed more land. The Taylors now living on 4.5 acres where they started by building a shed to live in while they built their homestead.  “I was just looking around and I was just kind of getting an idea in my head. And then as most of my ideas develop, they switched to like pencil and paper. And then I start drawing out what it could look like. I don't actually remember like what I drew for this specific situation. But then I started researching how people can do shed to house conversions. it took a while, but I convinced my husband, what if we sold everything that we had, basically, and we move.  We bought a shed, we put it on this property out here, and then we converted it to a tiny house. So it took a little bit convincing, but we actually decided let's do it. And so we ended up selling our house and we had a 12ft x 30ft delivered here on this property. We spent that summer insulating it and doing drywall and like all of the not so fun stuff. Once we were done doing all the insulation and drywall and everything like that, we had about 250 square feet of living space. We lived in that for a long time, my husband and I, and of course our two dogs.” Read full article ⁠www.hereinmytime.com⁠⁠ Guest Information: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/TealStoneHomestead⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/tealstonehomestead/⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@TealStoneHomestead⁠My information:  ⁠www.hereinmytime.com⁠  ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@HereInMyTime⁠ ⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583151527148⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/here.inmytime/
