Sisterhood of the Traveling Basket

As many of you know, I’m a member of the Real Farmwives of America, a group or “sisterhood” of 20 farm women from across the nation. This holiday season we teamed up with Longaberger to do some charitable deeds. We are taking the concept from the movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and putting a farm wife twist on it.

Longaberger donated a medium sized  chore basket to the Real Farmwives of America to travel across the country to be used for whatever charitable endeavor we have chosen on an individual basis. Once the deed is complete, the basket is passed on to the next farmwife to do the same.

The journey of the traveling Longaberger basket began in Ohio with Jane from Going Jane, moved on to Indiana to Amy from a latte’ with Ott, A. and on to North Dakota to Val of Wag n’Tales and now on the final leg of its journey it ends here, in California with me.

Carhartt Giveaway!!

Have you heard of Carhartt?  Well in case you haven't, let me tell you a little about them.  The company has been around for 120 years and produces work clothing known for its extreme durability, comfort and fantastic quality. 

Before they came out with a woman's line in 2006, I would wear the boy's version of Carhartt canvas jackets while horseback riding.  I used to ride in 32 degree weather sometimes, when I was younger and before kids and that canvas Carhartt stood up to all elements, including ducking under tree branches at the last minute {but that's an entirely different story}.

So when I was asked if I was interested in doing a Carhartt giveaway through The Real Farmwives of America, I immediately said yes.

I just recently received my new Carhartt waterproof jacket in the mail and am already in love with the ability it gives me to wear it from my day to day farm life,






















like this drizzly northern California morning walking Chloe....






















to tending my vegetable garden,

and even wearing it into town for a Saturday morning grocery run. {please excuse the deer in the headlight look, yikes!}

















The reason I chose this particular Carhartt jacket is for the warmth it provides, the waterproof functionality is huge for me and its versatility in style. Just because I live on a farm, doesn't mean I want to look like I'm fresh off the farm.....a girl needs her style, right?! This Carhartt delivers for me.


I even packed this Carhartt along with me to a Fort Bragg trip I had recently taken.  Perfect for any outdoor function or getaway.

 I'm lovin' my new Carhartt! It's not just for the boys anymore.

As a Real Farmwife of America, I'm happy to offer YOU a chance to win a new Carhartt for yourself!  Male OR female!  It's so easy to enter, just go to http://www.realfarmwivesofamerica.com/ to sign up for the giveaway! That's it!  I SO appreciate your readership and I hope you win!!

Disclosure:  Carhartt did provide me with this product to review but the thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own.


Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to leave a comment. I love to hear from you! Have a fantastic day!
