Hey there!We are breathing a sigh of relief as the outside work is coming to a close. When I say 'outside work', I of course, mean the extra things. We'll still go out twice a day to feed and water all the animals as well as milk our cow, but that's...

Hey there!We've reached the end of a homestead year, which means it's time for me to roll up my sleeves and start prepping things for winter. It's surprising how much goes into preparation for the cold months, and for past years I've been overconfide...

Hey there!We are just coming off what has been probably the most overwhelming week of the year, and I have to say, I am ready for many naps. Some parts of authoring had to be put a bit on pause as we prepared for butchering and processing over 50 chi...

Hey there!The weather has taken a dip here in South East Idaho! We had a bit of a stomach-dropping moment a couple days ago when we woke up to find that there had been a frost in our garden. The forecast didn't show a frost, nor did the current tempe...

Hey there!Just when I think I might have a grasp on life and I am getting into the flow of things, it all changes once more. At this point I think I'm more used to change than normalcy. First off, it was about time we started to train our cow, Ginger...

Hey there!It's been just a little over two weeks since our last little bean was born and things are starting to settle in. I said starting, because it's not all settled yet. He gives us a pretty good amount of sleep at night, but not nearly enough. T...

Hey there!Things have been a bit chaotic around here since our seventh son was born just on Monday! Given that he was nearly a week overdue (dude really didn't want to make an appearance) we were struggling a bit with being patient with the unknowns....

Hey there!Another week has flown by, and to answer the question that all of you most likely have right off the bat, no the baby has not been born yet. While the due date for our son is less than a week away, we are still playing that waiting game and...
