How I Got Started
I never planned on being a homesteader. It started with trying to garden and grew into wanting chickens. Now, I have bees and a milk cow as well!

Candle making, canning and preserving, and making soap are some of the other fun things I’ve learned to do over the years!

Bringing order to our family life is something I’m really good at.

The truth about gardening is that it can feel like a roller coaster ride. Especially the first few years you do it. I’m saying that after doing it for 10 years, and I still feel like I’m on a roller coaster.

My first piece of advice to anyone gardening is to grow what you love and start out simple. Maybe only do 3-4 things the first year…
