Before the busyness of the weekend starts…

Maybe you have big plans.
Maybe you have no plans at all.
Maybe there’s a whole list of things you need to get done.
Maybe you’re already feeling overwhelmed.

Whatever your weekend looks like, here’s a few minutes where absolutely nothing is happening.

Just sit.
Listen.
Watch the water.

Nothing needs to be figured out right now. 💚

Happy Friday from Mending Broken Bits.

I seriously can’t make this stuff up. 😂

Working on Fusion’s drape for the Palestine Labor Day parade and told Callie, “Go get Fusion and bring her to me so I can try this on her.”

Apparently I should’ve been a little more specific. 🤦‍♀️😂

Callie followed directions… and Fusion clearly didn’t see a problem with it either.

And we have our FIRST Trail Trick-or-Treat spot adopted! 🎃💜

Thank you Double A’s Creations LLC for jumping in and being part of MBB Fall Family Fun!

That leaves 13 trail spots still looking for families, businesses, nonprofits or groups to adopt them.

Remember — adopting a spot is FREE! You decorate your area, bring the candy, and come hang out with us and our community on Halloween! 🍂🐴

Who’s claiming the next one?!

Created this page to interact more and share more with everyone. If you have any questions feel free to message me or comment on any post. I hope to bring even more items this year!

Monday morning Did You Know? 🐴🌅

Caught this sunrise on the barn this morning while the herd was apparently having their own Monday morning meeting at the salt block. 😂

Every one of them was standing there waiting for their turn.

Did you know horses need salt every day? They lose sodium through normal body functions and sweating, so salt is an important part of keeping them healthy.

I don’t know what I liked more this morning—the sunrise or watching the herd patiently line up and wait their turn at the salt block. 😂

Good morning from MBB. 🐴

And that officially wraps up our Saturday morning MBB Kids Club. 💜🐴

Farron is one of those kids who shows up every Saturday morning reared up and ready to go. We usually have about 5–10 projects going at once, bounce from one thing to another, have some pretty good little conversations here and there, and somehow by the end of our hour or hour and a half, we tend to wrap them all up.

This week was no different. We painted rocks, painted wood, and really just painted about everything we could find. 😂 Amber did end up with one white circle around her eye, but apparently that was enough horse painting for the day. We spent a little time walking the trails too, and Farron brought Mom along so she could finally see MBB up close and personal. Thanks for bringing your mother, buddy. 💜

Farron drew me a picture, and Grandma and Grandpa framed a picture of his very first Saturday here with Snickers for me. They even brought snacks and a whole Ziploc bag of carrots and apples for the horses. I really can’t thank this family enough for supporting him and trusting me with their boy every Saturday morning.

And as you can see, some of those apples ended up being used for bobbing for apples before the day was over. 😂🍎

I’m going to miss our Saturday mornings, but I’m pretty excited about what we have coming this fall.

If you’ve been saying kids need more to do, more time outside and a little less time behind a screen, here’s your chance. Get your kiddo signed up for our fall MBB Kids Club before the remaining spots are filled. 🐴🍂

Well…this is actually happening. 💜

We all know Cord can build the Legacy Wall 😂 and he absolutely would, but Cord also has a ton of things going on outside of helping me build MBB. Turns out he’s the “can do it all guy” for more people than just me.

Luckily for us, Alex Monsma has stepped up and volunteered to help Cord with this project and a few others around MBB. An extra set of willing hands around here is a pretty big deal!

We already have three people to put on our Legacy Wall, and I do believe construction begins in LESS THAN A WEEK!!!!

This was just an idea when I made the post below. Now we’re building it. 💜

Today, I’m pressing pause on sharing another Mending Broken Bits Pathway because something incredibly meaningful is beginning…

When Chaney Burmeister from First Robinson Savings Bank, N.A. made a donation to Mending Broken Bits LLC in memory of her father, BJ McCammon, something clicked.

Mending Broken Bits was born from the loss of my own mother, Michelle Croslow, to su***de. Chaneys gift, given in memory of someone she loves, inspired an idea that immediately touched my heart.

With Chaney’s permission, we are beginning the Mending Broken Bits Legacy Wall.

This wall will honor the lives of those who were taken too soon. Each person will have a photo and a brief story—not to focus on how they died, but to celebrate how they lived and the legacy they continue to leave behind. Their stories will continue inspiring hope through the work being done at Mending Broken Bits.

Whether your loved one was lost to su***de, addiction, an overdose, a car accident, illness, or any other circumstance, their life mattered. Their story matters. Their legacy deserves to live on.

If you would like to honor someone special by adding them to our Legacy Wall while supporting the mission of Mending Broken Bits, we would be honored to include them. There is no minimum donation. Whether it’s $1, $100, or more, every contribution helps build a place of hope, healing, and connection for others.

If this speaks to your heart, please send us a message. We’d love to hear their story and help ensure their legacy continues touching lives for generations to come.

A heartfelt thank you to Chaney for inspiring this beautiful idea without even realizing it. 💜

Because a life doesn’t stop making a difference when it ends. Sometimes its greatest legacy is the hope it leaves behind.

Just a quick note: The picture below isn’t the real wall. It’s an AI-generated example to help everyone see what we’re envisioning. The real Legacy Wall will be built with love, grow over time, and be as unique as the lives it honors. 💜

First day of 3rd grade for Gloria Maxey! 💛

She’s off to Lincoln Grade School and Mrs. Inboden’s class for our first school year as Crawford County residents.

And of course, the herd had to come over and see her off this morning. 🐴💛

Have the best year, Gloria Maxey. Be kind, have fun and do your thing, kid.
