We started homesteading 5 years ago but the prepping part didn’t start until about 2 years ago. This year’s garden is gonna be a big deal cause…to me it’s gonna show me the holes that I need to fix.

Stay at home momma here! Nearly 5 years ago We decided it was best for me to stay home when our 2nd kid was born (daycare is expensive). After working 50hr weeks 6 days a week, 10+ hours a day, I desperately needed something to do besides being a milk machine lol. So I started a veggie garden and found my love for plants again after losing it during my high school years. Everything snowballed after that lol and I’m in love with it. I love the work but it does get tiring for sure. Especially when your kids wanna be turds or you just don’t feel good or when the kids are sick. I have 3 daughters, 6, 4, 2 and I babysit several ages. Some days I have 7 kids in the house. Naptime is usually when most things get done. Of course i love to make things harder for myself lol (kidding) cause i’m going to be homeschooling them after this year in public school.
We got a milk cow who is due in feb so I will have to milk her every morning and evening is the plan, meat rabbits, chickens. 12 raised beds, 3 in ground garden plots. Getting some things ready for fall planting. I’m gonna try and grow wheat this year and garlic. Looking back I can see why I was lead down this path and why I have such a strong urge for self sufficiency. My whole life i was fascinated by it. (i was the weird quiet kid.) But regardless of how much joy it brings me it never fails there are those i don’t want to days. Last year my cow ate my WHOLE garden down…4 TIMES. Lessons where learned. Wanted to throw in the towel several times. I melted our wheel burrow to just the rims and frame, wanted to throw the towel to. But I had a friend tell me something that changed my outlook of it all. She said, “You must be doing something right!” Yes, we are doing something right! YOU are doing something right. The enemy knows how to push buttons so stay strong! We are fighting for more then just out way of life. We are teaching our kids how to fight the enemy! Stay tough mommas, we are momma bears.
