Clarity Amidst Chaos – A Blueprint for a New Homesteader
If last November, you’d told me that my family would move to three acres of land, live in a cedar cabin, own 15 animals, be building a garden bigger than my old backyard, all while homeschooling the kids, I’d have told you you’re crazy. But here we are.
