Just because we live on a homestead, it doesn't mean that my children react to an orange like Laura Ingalls Wilder. We also don't chase every consumer trend for the holidays. We focus on our needs, family, and home-cooked food.

Hear how we celebrate on our homestead and how I plan to bring in the New Year!

What homestead skills are worth the time to learn? It's hard to decide which skills provide the best value and which ones will burn you out.

Don't try to learn every skill all at once; learn the ones that provide the most value first. Then, you will have the time and money to focus on everything else.

Do you ever feel people have misconceptions about what it means to be a homesteader? Or do you ever feel like you aren't meeting the bar with your homesteading?

Homesteading doesn't have to fit in a box. In fact, as a homesteader, you are creating your own box! Join me to talk about what it means to be a homesteader and how you can better reach your homestead goals.

In a special episode, my husband, Ron Hanner, joins me to discuss why we began homesteading. We hope no one else ever has to face this story, but we are so happy that we have reached a place where we can hopefully help you on your journey toward self-sufficiency!

When the American food system is broken, we share how we have fixed it for ourselves.

I remember proudly bringing a ziplock baggie filled with cut-out boxtops to school to help fundraise. This is something that I would be embarrassed to do today for a host of reasons.

This leads to the question of whether we should be boycotting BoxTops for Education.
