Homesteading comes with a lot of big decisions. Should we expand our garden, should we get chickens, should we invest in a grain mill and start grinding our own grains, should we buy a property with more land and move? But, if you are married, these are decisions that you need to make together, and sometimes as a husband and wife, you may not always be in agreement. It is great to have all of these homesteading dreams, but what if your husband doesn’t share your dreams? What if you are ready to grow your homestead, but your husband isn’t on board with what you had hoped or planned? Today, I want to share my thoughts and come alongside you, as one wife to another,, and talk about how to approach this situation while honoring Christ in your marriage. 

I hope this episode challenges you in God’s word and that it gives you wisdom and insight in how to deal with things when you and your husband might be in disagreement about your homestead. I pray that God would guide you as you navigate these differences with your spouse.

Have you ever felt stuck in comparison? What about homestead mom comparison? Regular mom comparison, or mom guilt, is bad enough, but I think there is something even more toxic about homestead mom comparison. Thinking that you will never be good enough unless you can accomplish all the homesteady things like growing all your own food, raising animals, never eating processed foods or snacks, using only natural products, having a beautiful clean farmstyle home, eating 100% organic, baking everything yourself, homeschooling, not to mention looking good and being in good health. That list is not only exhausting but totally unrealistic, and deep down we know it but still fall into the trap of holding ourselves to that standard. If you feel tired of not living up to what you think your homestead should be, get ready because today we are going to learn to find grace and press into God’s truth when we feel less than in a world of seemingly perfect motherhood. 

I hope this episode is what you need to hear today and that it encourages you so much. I pray that this episode will help you move past mom guilt and experience true joy in your homestead through God’s grace. Thanks for joining me!
