This is and has been a weird and floundering season for our family. By floundering, I mean metaphorically flopping about in everything we're doing, trying to gain sure footing and stability. These seasons, so I'm told, come and go. I have been blessed to see evidence of this abound recently as many of the voices … Continue reading Thoughts on a Season of Floundering
I have spent my extra time working on getting the new website up and running. I am pleased to announce that the Shaggy Maple Homestead shop is now LIVE! I have currently one (yes, you read that correctly) listing available for purchase, and that is our peppermint tea!

I have been praying for a long time about what I'm about to share, and it finally seems the time to move forward with it. We're moving!!! The blog, that is.

I find myself this time of year wishing for my own head bucket- one that will protect me from … Continue reading Homesteading What-if’s
Our church is entering into a congregational period of fasting and prayer. I find this extraordinarily awesome, as I don't know of many churches (and I've attended quite a few over the years) that have preached sermons on fasting. That said, being 5 months pregnant, I want to participate, while also nourishing my growing baby. … Continue reading Meal Prep: Homesteading Style

My planning materials We're moving our primary vegetable garden to occupy the space previously home to our chickens. Our iconic (to us) purple chicken coop is no longer in service, as we could not keep it entirely … Continue reading 2022 Spring Garden Planning
Well, we certainly had a very busy holiday season. My husband's family came in for a visit. We had so much good conversation, sooooo much good food, and we got a lot of project loose ends tied up before cold weather hits. Speaking of cold weather, that romantic image I had in my head of … Continue reading Homestead Update: What’s New and Formal Rabbitry Introduction
There are days where I come to the Lord a frazzled and broken mess, so full of questions, issues, problems, disappointments, and discontents that I can't even clear a space in my mind to lay them at His feet. In his loving kindness, the Lord heard my weak and desperate longing for time alone with … Continue reading The Kindness of the Father
