I know it has been two, nearly three weeks since my last post. I am sorry about that. Life on the homestead got very busy. Two weeks ago, these lovelies came along and have kept us very busy!

We have 8 goats, a lamb, and a calf now. The babies are all bottle babies which takes up a lot of time, energy and love. We enjoy the vast majority of it though.

I say vast majority because prior to the does kidding and during immediate kidding season, I can’t say that we enjoy the loss of sleep. But once we are past that and are milk does and loving on these playful little lovebugs, all is well. Even our dogs think they are great!

    Hi all, I had the wonderful fortune of growing up homesteading from the time I was old enough to sit up and get my hands in the dirt. As I grew up, I saw our ability to provide food for our family, save our family's bacon financially on more than one occasion. I grew up with a passion for the land, a passion for raising animals, and because I grew up on the mission field in Mexico where my family was teaching these same skills to others, I have a passion for teaching others how to provide themselves and their loved ones with food. I look forward to helping you on your journey to being able to feed yourself and your loved ones without having to depend on buying food at the grocery store. - Emily
