If you are listening to this you are likely a new homesteader or homestead dreamer. You are either in the beginning years or your in the dreaming years of your journey.

It seems homesteading has really gained in popularity these past few years. It’s no surprise really. Since 2020 people are really evaluating their quality of life and their health.

Sipping tea while sitting on your front porch overlooking the acres of land. Spending your days watching your chickens and goats enjoy the land you own and feeling very satisfied with all of the self-sufficiency skills you are learning in the process.

Having skills that make you feel less dependent on the grocery store because you know how to grow and raise your own food.

These are the dreams many people are currently having. Well, in 2020 I realize my dream is to see more and more people live the homesteading lifestyle in the best way possible. This includes preventing bad starts and overwhelm.

On today’s episode, I’m going to revisit the how to start a homestead topic. In the first 5 episodes of this podcast I go in more depth by following the Homesteading for Beginner checklist I create. But I’ve recently updated so I thought I’d go through the checklist again with the updated version.

If you are a parent of children, especially young children you may have experienced how difficult it is to find a balance between having your interests and hobbies and raising kids with their interests and hobbies. 

Sometimes it may feel like you’re losing yourself to raise your amazing little humans. While this is a season of having to be more selfless we also need to understand that without your interests, your children will have a hard time discovering their passions without you modelling what being passionate looks like. 

Today I’m talking about why it’s important to include your passions and interest in your homesteading journey and how that will benefit your children.

We see picture-perfect social media posts with families enjoying the homesteading life and then look at our less-than-perfect life and wonder what we are doing wrong. Well, you're not doing it wrong. Picture perfect is a moment in time. The really good stuff happens in the messier parts of life. 

On today's episode, I continue the conversation about homesteading with children. I go into a little bit of the downsides but I'm offering the upsides to those downsides as well. If you have kids or dream of raising kids on the homestead this episode is for you.

If you are wondering what it’s like to raise children on the homestead then this is the episode for you.  Get the Homesteading for Beginners checklist here: https://www.healthyhomesteading.com/checklist/

While my husband and I were in the middle of raising our kids we sometimes wondered if we were doing the right thing. I think all parents have some doubts. The homesteading life is great but there are some downsides and sacrifices that had to be made in order to live the way we did.

Now that I’m older and wiser and all of the children are adults I can see clearly the benefits of raising children in the homestead life. There were plenty of downsides to the lifestyle but the benefits far out weight them.

Here are 5 things you need to know about homesteading with children: All of these things may not be true for every child or homestead but if your children are growing up the way mine did then this is a possible outcome.

1. Your children will discover that being bored is not a bad thing.
2. Your children will learn about life and death.
3. Your children will gain an appreciation for nature.
4. Your children will learn about hard work.
5. Your children will know things their peers don’t.

What people are saying about the workshop:

This type of learning is definitely outside my comfort zone, but I persevered 😉. I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about what I have to offer, I just do the work, but your simple exercises have been super helpful. I almost did not put out that poll…but decided to do it because I agreed to the class. 40+ people responded when I expected many to respond.

As homesteaders and homestead dreams, we have become aware that we need to take some control of our food supply. This is what we all have in common. We no longer want to just be dependent on grocery stores to provide food for us.

I think the idea of multiple income streams really resonates with most people. It sounds wise to have multiple streams of income for security and financial freedom. But, what makes homesteaders different from the rest of the world is that we understand the need to be prepared.

This is why I teach about the 3 Income Homestead Streams. Those are on-homestead income, off-homestead income and online income.

These diverse income streams allow us to prepare for when we need to shift with current events. We all understand we don’t know what the future holds and we need to be prepared for different scenarios. There will be times you may lean into one income stream more heavily than the others. This type of thought process also goes beyond just making money. It’s also about being a part of a local community and being a person someone can count on for a product or service others need. I believe this is a more holistic way to think about income.

Today I’m going to discuss with my friend Jason from the Plans and Provisions Podcast about 5 Homestead Income Mistakes to Avoid. Some of these mistakes my husband and I have made and we really don't want you to make the same mistakes.
