Are you like me? Despite the fact that we’ve left the country to move back to the ‘burbs, that doesn’t mean that I’ve given up my dream of homesteading. If anything, my dreams are both more realistic and bigger than before. What about you? Even if at the moment there’s […]
Is it Fall Already?!? Am I the only one who feels like we just enter 2021 with all the lockdowns and craziness? Can you believe it’s already October? It’s time to begin turning our attention to the next season of preparedness. We’re heading into cold dark months. And oh, that […]
