Are you tired of all the “stuff” at Christmas? The shopping, the wrapping, and all the toys with little plastic pieces that just get broken anyway. Do you want to give gifts that are heartfelt, handmade, or just plain practical? Today, I am going to be sharing how our family approaches gift giving, why we choose practical gifts for our kids, and how we de-commercialize ourselves at Christmas, so we can enjoy Christmas for its true meaning, not just “the stuff”.
I hope this episode gives you some ideas for practical gifts for your own kids. I pray that through your family’s holiday celebrations that your kids would be able to see Christ as the ultimate gift. Thanks for joining me!

I know you want to grow your homestead, but what if both you and your spouse work full time? Can you make homesteading work even if you work outside the home? How can you find the time to learn new things, work on your homestead, and do the things you want to accomplish? In this episode, I share my thoughts for finding balance between living and working in the real world and following your homesteading dreams. If you feel like your job is holding you back from really homesteading, then this episode is for you.
I pray that this episode would inspire you if you work outside the home, that you are not excluded from this homesteading life that God is calling you to. You can find a way to make it work for your family by changing your perspective, developing realistic goals, and being willing to make homesteading a priority in your schedule. I pray that God would give you contentment for where you are at, that he would use this time to build up your homesteading skills and knowledge, and through Him you would find a balance between work and homesteading. I pray that episode blesses each of you today!
Thanks for joining me!

When you go to the grocery store, what influences what you buy? What looks good? What’s on sale? What about what’s in season? We live in a world where we can get strawberries in December and squash in June, and our culture has really lost touch with a natural pattern of eating with the seasons. Today we are going to explore the concept of seasonal eating to transform your grocery budget, your health, and the way you think about food. I’m going to challenge some cultural norms and break down why seasonal eating is still valuable to us, and what seasonal eating looks like for our family.
I hope this episode inspires you to give more seasonal-eating a try, whether from your own garden or just being intentional about how you select foods from the store. There is something so exciting about each season when it brings new foods and flavors to your meals.

Have you ever been in a place where things are going well on your homestead, you are making strides, learning new things, being productive in your home, and then a hard season hits and it just feels like everything falls apart? Suddenly you are struggling to do the daily things that you used to be able to do. I think as moms we can have so much guilt in letting things go and laying down some of the responsibilities we’ve tacked on ourselves. But today, I want to give you encouragement, coming from my own recent hard season, on how we can give ourselves grace while prioritizing what needs to happen in our homes.
I hope this episode lifts you up today if you are finding yourself in a tough season, not sure how to do it all, and feeling tired or burnt out. I pray that God would give you the strength to carry on through this current struggle and that He would give you wisdom in the areas that you need to let go of.

What do you think of when you think of your dream homestead? Plenty of acres to spread out, a big house, a spacious kitchen complete with white cabinets and farm style sink, chicken coop in the backyard that matches the house siding, and a garden with raised beds surrounded by a white picket fence? Okay, maybe not all those things. But, when you scroll through social media, it is so easy to be influenced to think that if you homestead you need those things, or should at least aspire to them. But I’m here to encourage you today, that those things aren’t really what it means to homestead. Get ready to find your true purpose in homesteading, beyond an aesthetic or fitting in a homesteading box.
I hope this episode encourages you to let go of comparison and ideals that you’ve been hanging onto that are stealing your joy! I pray that God would use this episode to give you contentment in your own circumstances and remind you of the goals that he has put on your heart, what you want for your family, and how you can achieve that while leaving some of the materialistic aspects of homesteading behind. Thanks for joining me!
