These pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are great slathered in butter for breakfast or as a quick snack in the afternoon. It’s a bonus that the kids loved them too which is pretty much my benchmark for a good keto recipe. If my sweet-toothed kids like them and can’t tell it’s a keto treat then it’s a winner!Read More →
It’s been a while since I’ve done a Dollar Store craft and I have to admit that I missed them dearly. With Halloween (arguably my favorite holiday) coming up I decided to mask up and brave the local DollarTree to see what I could find! The hardest part of the trip was settling for what type of craft to do but in the end, I settled for this fun dollar store Crystal Ball project! I think they will go perfectly with the potion jars we made a couple of years ago. Since I never know exactly how a craft is going to turn out IRead More →

It’s crazy to think that our family has been living on this property and homesteading for a year now. Homesteading for a year has been a journey that I’ve found both challenging and rewarding and it’s one I hope to continue into the foreseeable future.Read More →
Summer homesteading has been hot and rainy! The heat is hard on some livestock and at the tail end of summer, I can almost see the animals sighing in relief.Read More →
This keto blueberry cheesecake will definitely be added to our favorite list. It’s the perfect dessert for a hot summer’s dayRead More →
Running a farm, whether it is a tiny hobby farm or a large industrial production, is not without expenses, but there are a few things you can do to live even more frugally than you currently do and decrease your day-to-day costs. In 2021, American farmers will face a contradiction of increased income (mostly from retail increases) and higher input prices (mainly from fertilizer and feeds). No one knows for certain how this post-pandemic year and the policies of the incoming government will impact consumer buying and agricultural labor prices. It may be a year of profit reductions that need innovative cost-cutting measures. A savingsRead More →
Rabbits are not the first animal that comes to mind when people think about starting a homestead but they probably should be! This is especially true if you live on a smaller property or even within city limits. Rabbits are multi-purpose quiet animals that don’t require huge pastures or extensive land to be happy and healthy. Rabbits were one of the first animals we added to our homestead and they’ve been a pretty great addition! Here is why you should consider homesteading with rabbits along with your chickens, quail, and goats! Homesteading With Rabbits This post may contain affiliate links.

My kids love going to the movies. Popcorn, big screens, and the perfect movie were how we celebrated quite a few summer vacations. While some of their movie choices were dubious, I have to say that I wasn’t disappointed with this year’s selection. If you have young girls then there is a pretty good chance that they love horses and if you happened to be a young girl in the early 2000s then there is a pretty good chance that you’ll recognize the Spirit franchise. As a rabid horse girl, I loved Spirit and I watched the original with both of my girls pretty muchRead More →
It seems like the weather has made a decision and since it’s supposed to hit the high 90’s next week it seems like that decision is that summer is here. I’m happy to say that the rain has slowed down quite a bit and the farm is no longer a quagmire of mud. It definitely makes chores a bit more enjoyable! Homesteading in May has been a time for growing around the homestead. Our baby animals are growing up and moving from the brooders to life outside and the small garden we got set up is coming along nicely. We have quite a few projectsRead More →
