It's the start of the fall holiday season for us and we just finished our year of rest.

We are talking about how our beliefs and homesteading are tied together.  Our holiday calendar looks very different from your standard calendar.

We're talking all about our lease land project this week. A lot of you have asked us about this project and how it came about.

Our friend Lane brought this project to us and he is joining us to talk about how crazy this project has been. Despite the craziness, this episode has a lot of laughs thinking about where we started and where we are.

We still have a lot left to do but the end result of the land will be worth it.

We recently celebrated our 20th anniversary. It got us thinking about how much has changed since then and how much has stayed the same.

Between the businesses, the homestead, the kids, homeschooling, families and friendships it can be hard to focus on your relationship.  

We are going to talk about what we have done over the years to get to where we are now and what we will continue to do for each other, our marriage and our family. It was a fun conversation and we can't wait to share it with you.
