New Adventures

I have been heavily neglecting this little corner of the internet.  I set out with good intentions, but life got a hold of me and it slowly drifted down further and further on my to do list.  So I'm back now, hoping to summon up this little blog and I'm going to try to commit to it a little more.

After thinking, my goal for this space will not only be to share our life so our family that lives far away can see our everyday, but to create a space to share what we are learning on this homestead adventure.  Homesteading is a life a lot of people dream about...and a lot of people do, but the blogs I find are all from well established homesteaders and there's not many out there that show what its like from the ground up.  I'm hoping to change that and I hope to make this a place for people to come and learn along side us because this is all so new to us.  I hope to share our journey openly and show the ups and downs of this lifestyle.  And while ours isn't exactly established just yet, I hope to encourage those who are wanting to do this and show you first hand that that it takes a lot of patience, love and a will.   My goal is to document the good and the bad so folks out there can see its not always rainbows and unicorn poop out here.  Its hard. But its also so rewarding.

I know theres a lot of folks out there that think homesteading is a far fetched dream, but I want to show you that you can do it.  We were just 2 normal folks living in a subdivision, going to work everyday, getting lost in that 9-5 lifestyle, but we had this dream.  And one day we decided to make it a reality.  And we took a chance, drained our savings account and now we are here.  In our dream cabin in the woods, 20+ acres of land, 27 chicks chirping away in a brooder in my office and plans to pick up our first dairy goats this weekend.  It can happen with a little determination & patience.  We are the kind of folks that dig right into a situation.  Which can be good when you are setting dreams, but then may downfall later on (like when picking out chicks...I couldn't just pick 10. I had to have 27.  Go big or go home is how we roll around here.)  We are go getters and we make shit happen.  You only live once yall.

I want to share our gardening adventures, how we are raising chickens & goats, pigs, and later on bees.  I hope to share how we homeschool and how we use this lifestyle to teach our children.  As well as natural remedies & recipes.

So I hope you follow along this crazy journey of ours and I promise to update often.

Until next time.
Cheers.
