Friends, I feel like I'm almost an expert when it comes to saving money while purchasing a homestead. We've lived in three different homes since 2019, and two of them were definitely "homestead" purchases.

We are so excited over here, guys. Our lamancha goat doelings were finally ready to leave their mama, and we picked them up yesterday!

I Want a Simple Life! The Reason Behind My Vision
Last week I received a message from a television producer, asking if I'd be interested in possibly being featured in a new television show about homesteading.

I'd really like to share our story with you, and just how much I've changed … Continue reading I Want a Simple Life! The Reason Behind My Vision
