Sober Homesteading.....

It's been a while. I have been backsliding a bit as far as homemade living. I have a good excuse though. Fatigue, and nausea, and bursts of crying/laughing. Yep, that's right, I'm pregnant!

"But wait" a sane person might say, "you guys just bought a farmette that needs fixing up, you want to raise animals and grow food, and make everything from scratch. Are you insane adding another child to this already packed agenda?" Yes, sane person. Yes I am! But I don't view having another child as an added challenge. Sure, I'm not an idiot. I know that having a baby around makes things....different. But what's more important? Having an orderly, organized, picture perfect life and home, or having love and all the craziness that comes along with it? I choose the crazy love. I've never cared much for order anyhow.

So in the cold and hopefully snowy month of February, we will welcome our fourth child into the family, and continue to grow and learn together. I can't think of a better way to brighten the winter months.
