Return to Homesteading



I know it's been forever since I've updated this blog. I fell off of the homesteading wagon for a while. So many things have happened in the last two years. What?! It's been 2 years! I can't really believe that I haven't posted here in that long.

Of course, I haven't too much better on my main blog One Crazy Momma It's hit and miss over there too. The main reason I fell out of blogging practice is when my father and several uncles all passed away in quick succession. You can read about that here

Although it is and will forever be a work in progress, it is encouraging to see how far I've come in a few months.

Homesteading is and always be a lot of work. But it is work that I enjoy. Unfortunately, I won't be adding any animals to my homestead (other than Thor and Loki, the family pets) My neighbor would never agree to living next door to chickens and you have to consent from your neighbors where I live.
