The lessons our kids learn by homesteading
We've been homesteading for a few years now on our property. We've learned a lot, but have a lot more to learn, so we're at the Homesteaders of America Conference in Virginia to learn more. One of the reasons we homestead is because our kids learn a lot through the experience. In this vlog we discuss a bit of what we're learning and why our kids enjoy homesteading.

It's our kids first time to see the ocean. Their reaction is priceless when they finally see the vast water, wind, waves, and all the sand.

During the night, our neighbor's dogs came over to our property, broken into the coop, and killed all of our chickens. Not a single one survived. Since Tim and I were out of town when it happened, our kids are the ones who had to deal with the aftermath. Those chickens had names. It was traumatic. But there's a silver lining...

Today is Dana's birthday. I really wanted her to have a good birthday, but we had to go on a little road trip. The kids aren't used to road trips or eating out anymore, so we had to improvise with the rain and still try to ensure that Dana had a good birthday.

Laundry use to be the most dreaded chore I had. Until one day, I learned that there is more than one way to do laundry. It was a game changer! Now instead of feeling overwhelmed, and ruled by laundry, I'm in charge and tell my laundry what to do, instead of it bossing me around.

    When I was a child and and growing up well into my teens, our family watched very little TV. We did have family friendly movies and a few fun/educational games for our very old computer. But that was about it. The internet, cell phones, screens as we know them today were just beginning to enter society and people actually judged my parents for not allowing me complete access to that. But because they didn't I spent the first 19 years of my life reading hundreds of books, exploring nature, using my imagination and being in the real world! Of course, the time came when I started using technology but I've always been able to maintain a balance between the real world and the one inside of a screen and that blessing came from my parents. We all know that it's best for children, especially younger children, to have little to no screen time and yet it's given to them like sugar to make them happy or quiet but it's not good for their minds and bodies. I admire you for showing that it doesn't have to be too late. It won't be easy and while mom and dad have to put in the work too, it is so worth it ❤ God Bless you all!
