Hidden Springs Homestead
Registrace 23. 01. 2024
We are located in McDowell, VA. Our focus is our family, God, and growing our homestead to something we can truly be proud of. We are a family of five. Andrew is an Army veteran and a nurse at a local nursing home and Courtney is a stay-at-home mom. This channel will capture our lives as homesteaders, homeschoolers, navigating two of our children's disabilities and all that comes with that, and life with a toddler. On our homestead, we currently have sheep, goats, and chickens. We have lots of exciting plans to expand over the next years and would love for you to join us on our journey. Please come alongside us and share in the joy and excitement of having a homestead.
Making memories with some scrap wood.
Just as I did as a child, I let our son play and learn with scrap wood. He loves working with me and I love seeing him do what I did myself.

A few thoughts on home(stead) security

A brief video about some things we consider for our home security and a few things we implement around the house. This isn't near everything as home security needs to be a constantly evolving aspect. Look around at least monthly and see what you can improve.
Rear scraper blade painting.
zhlédnutí 72Před měsícem
We had some leftover spray paint from quite a few years ago and figured we could spruce up our rear scraper blade for the tractor. Hopefully this will slow the rusting and add some life to this antique piece of equipment.
