Building a Homestead Takes Time and Everything Doesn’t Need to be Done Right Away So You Can Enjoy the Journey

Hey There! 

I am so excited to be doing this podcast every day this week and I hope to give you many nuggets that you can put into practice.

I am going to give away 4- ½ hour coaching calls because it is the last year that my age will start with a 4!!!!!!  I don’t even think I have talked about my coaching on here, but I help women simplify areas of their life they are struggling with…..it might be motherhood, saving money, decluttering, cooking from scratch, or homesteading.  You know me, I like to keep everything simple and I love helping others do the same. All you have to do to enter the giveaway is give a rating and review and send me an email at [email protected] and let me know you left a review and I will announce the winners on the August 28th podcast!!!!!!! 

 

I’m going to bring you back a few months into a very insane few weeks for me. As we closed on our property, we started working right away.  Our first concern was getting the goats some fencing up and get their home situated, get a chicken coop ready so we could get our chickens back so we could have fresh eggs again, and prepare a home in our overgrown fenced in garden area for a couple pigs so they could root up it up so we can plant next spring, but we were unprepared for all the work that needed to be done to the house and it took us over a month to even get furniture in it because it needed so much work.  This is not something we expected as the house was built in 2005, so not even 20 years old!  

After 2 weeks in, I broke down after working from 5am to 10pm every day and I just asked God why He wanted us to move here.  You will see….was the only answer I needed to keep trudging away! 

We had reservations at Family Camp for 10 days that I booked at the beginning of the year and even though I love the quality time so much each year, I was thinking I should cancel so I could keep working feverishly as we were getting our piglets right after those 10 days at camp and we had only been at our new home for 2 weeks.  And then it hit me…..I needed that 10 days of down time!!!!!  So we packed up and had the most wonderful time with friends and family. All of our kids and grandkids were able to come to camp, we celebrated our 1 year old Grandson’s Birthday there and it was a Fabulous time away.

See ya tomorrow!  Monica
