Four New Additions To Our Homestead!
Antoine is so kind. He knows I have the skills to turn things brown that should be green. Yet and still he bought me something we’ve wanted for a very long time. Every day in order for me to drink water, I drink it with some kind of citrus – either lemon or lime. Do you know how much those things are costing in the store now days? Good lord, way too much.

Why We Are Choosing This And You Can Too!
I don’t know if you saw hubby’s last post, “Today, The Land Became Ours“, but after six long months, we finally closed on our land! Now that was a long lesson in patience. I just wanted to share that great news with you guys before getting on to the point of this post.
Okay, now that that’s over….Homesteading. That word means a lot of different things to different people. For some, when you say homesteading, you think of “Little House On The Prairie” living.

PVC Pipe Laundry Hamper
Hey Fam, it’s been a while since our last post. We’ve definitely been dealing with life-stuff again, but ’tis life. So, today I wanted to share with you all a quick PVC project that I put together back in 2014. Up until that point, we all just tossed our clothes (separated by colors) into the same three hampers that we had in our room.

My First Attempt at Hydroponics
My very first attempt at hydroponics…smh. It was not good at all. It was pretty sad in my opinion, but like all newbies, we live, we learn, and we grow (see what I did there?). However, I just wanted to share with you my mistakes, so that you do not make the same ones. [Read more…] about My First Attempt at Hydroponics
Sad Ending But A New Beginning
Funny how we have a pseudo “farm” without even trying…
A few weeks ago I told you all about our neighborhood chicken “Feathers” and her buddy “Bunny”, “Buns” for short. Well, we have some bad news. [Read more…] about Sad Ending But A New Beginning
