Physical Fitness

I have always prided myself on my physical strength and abilities. Four children later it goes without saying that I do not have the strength and endurance I once did. But that doesn't mean I won't get back to it. Part of breaking free from the system is taking control of our health and wellness. Five months post partum with our final child and I'm ready to get back to my peak performance. One would think well, running a homestead has lots of physical aspects to it, isn't that enough? No it's not. Muscles have memory, and farm chores are repetitive, even seasonal ones. So it's very important to still have some type of workout routine. Especially in the northern climates when winter sets in and everything gets sluggish. #workoutcomplete💪

Shelled the corn from this year's garden. Was just a couple sample rows of glass gem and giant Indian corn. Have staked out a much larger area for next season. Growing for our personal use as well to supplement the livestock's winter feed❤️stay tuned for corn bread

Making goats milk yogurt

It's always bewildered me that most home made yogurt recipes say you need yogurt to start a new batch. Defeats the purpose doesn't it? I made this batch with stinging nettles!!!! One of my favorite plants❤️
