Going Against the Norm

by Leave a Comment

Don’t be afraid if you find your self going against the norm. All of my life, I have been a rule follower. A peacemaker. Someone who doesn’t rock the boat. I give in to others desires and step away when a stronger personality takes the lead. Honestly, I don’t mind it, and in many instances […]

Starting Tomatoes from Seed Indoors (2023 Edition)

by Leave a Comment

tomato seedlings

A lot has changed since we first began starting tomatoes from seed indoors. Yet, at the same time, not much has changed. We are no longer using a makeshift plywood shelf, nor are we at our own home in Ohio. Instead, we live in Maryland with my parents, and are using basement shelving. The amount […]

A Fool for God

by Leave a Comment

Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you considers himself wise in this age, let him become a fool so as to become wise.For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God, for it is written:“He catches the wise in their own ruses,”and again:“The Lord knows the thoughts of […]

A Season of Surprises

by Leave a Comment

It has been on my heart to start writing again for weeks, but whenever I try to start writing, nothing comes. There are so many things I want to share – so much that has taken place in the last few months or so. Much of it has been challenging, but also fruitful. I suppose […]

Banana Bread – A Symbol of Community

by Leave a Comment

My daughter made a loaf of banana bread yesterday. A loaf that would never have come to be if it weren’t for the community that is forming around us. However, this community would have never come to be if it wasn’t for the courage of two women. Finding a Community How often do we long […]

How to Uphold Your Values as a Christian Family When You Feel Discouraged

by Leave a Comment

My family is drifting apart… The pain of sadness stabs at your heart as you watch your family, as if in slow motion, go through the day glued to their screens with barely an acknowledgement of the others’ presence. Even the dinner table is quiet after the initial clattering of plates meeting food. Each one […]

Holy Family Homestead

Theresa and her husband Nick, met at a home school, high school Dave Ramsey class. Little did they know where their journey would take them, nor how much of […]

Why We Choose the Homestead Lifestyle

by Leave a Comment

Hang tight – I’ve been in a bit of a reflective mood… As I was weeding and hilling the potatoes today, I couldn’t help but think about why I was out in the sun working in the garden when it would be so much easier to just buy some potatoes from the store. Then I […]

Why We’re Building a Joel Salatin Chicken Tractor

If you are not in the homesteading or permaculture space, then neither Joel Salatin nor permaculture will mean anything to you. However, if you are, then you know that they are people providing pieces of a puzzle towards creating a life that allows us to provide for our families, in ways that nothing else can. […]

Homestead Gardening and Chickens

by Leave a Comment

While life may be busy with many things, we are still slowly but surely working toward our dream of homesteading. I’ve come to realize that it’s not about the end result that matters, but about the lessons learned along the journey. That’s a huge reason why I started my business, to help other moms understand […]

Keeping My Kids Occupied this Summer

by Leave a Comment

Spring Happenings As I write, I’m sitting on the back porch watching my littles play. The sounds of birds, the rustling of new leaves, and an airplane overhead fill the air. Spring is such a joyful season filled with anticipation and hope. We have had a few cold days lately, but it has turned warm […]

Soon I will be sharing more about all of the wonderful homestead-like things that we will be and are doing this summer, but there was one more thought that I wanted to share. Like me, the desires of your heart feel so real some days. You are doing the best that you can and seek […]
