It has been awhile since we put out a video. We really would like to make more of them to document the types of things we are working on but usually we are too tired. 🙂 Anyway, enjoy!

December has a funny way about it, here in Texas. A cold front has swept in, on the heels of several warm days, so we’ve shifted from opening all of the windows to carrying in firewood by the arm full. The children are always excited at the mere prospect of wintry weather and I can’t…
Every once in a while we make contact with small business owners, not unlike ourselves, whose products and interests closely connect with our own. When we do, we are happy to welcome them as supporters of this space and our family. We also want to share with you the cool things they are making and…
I’ve wanted to homeschool our children since I carried that first precious life in my womb. Those earliest years went fast and smooth, just these two little boys and I. By the time we moved off-grid in 2011, Elijah was five and was writing, doing some basic math, and learning to read. I remember being…
Today is our ninth wedding anniversary. Remembering the times we’ve moved (4), the children we’ve had (also 4), and the years we’ve shared is always a blessing. This past year has been the hardest year for either of us – both as individuals and as a couple – but it has been rich in blessings…
Everywhere I go women are talking about balance. We have our spiritual life and husbands and small children and housework and gardens and crafting and reading and writing and blogging and cooking and… we could go on all day. Everyone tells me that I need to balance all of these things, but is that really…
When I look back at a lot of the decisions we’ve made since having children, many of them come back to the home. We chose to try homebirth with our first child and it completely changed the trajectory of birth for our family. We have since had all four of our children at home and…

So beautiful!! Amazing that your young sons already know how to mix cement and “plant” fence posts! So much more useful than knowing how to play video games as most kids do. Bless you guys!!
Love the video! Thank you for sharing.
It may or may not be helpful, but every wooden fence post installed on our four acres was done a bit differently… The holes were dug then the post placed exactly as it was to stand. I held the post as my husband poured dry cement mix into the hole and tamped it down to pack it around the post. Moisture from the surrounding ground usually set the cement overnight. They are still tight and standing strong after 22 years.
