The last few weeks have been so stressful. I’ve lost multiple animals, but I’ve also gained many. I know homesteading is a constant cycle of death and birth, but it’s still so hard sometimes.

TW: The last image is of a chick that didn’t survive the hatch, but I still thought it was beautiful in its own way, so I wanted to commemorate it. Look at your own risk! :)

My first hatch was very successful, if I say so myself!!

Why are turkey poults so STUPID??

Why is it so difficult to start a business!!!!!!!!!

Doing all of this is giving me the biggest headache but ughhhhhhh. I want to succeed so badly.

My website is officially live, granted everything is currently marked as sold out. But it’s fucking live!!!

My third ever loaf of sourdough! The first one failed completely. The second was edible. This one was much better! I still have a long way to go but I’m excited by the progress.

Been working on my baking. I’ve nailed my sandwich bread recipe, and I also made biscuits for the first time ever yesterday!

One of the weirder things about trying to turn my homestead into a viable living is that I currently find myself sitting in a lot of parking lots waiting to meet people who want to buy eggs.

Basil & Pesto joined us on the homestead a week ago, and it’s so crazy to see how much bigger they already are!

It’s so frustrating sometimes that I support childfree folks SO MUCH as a parent myself, yet they still try to blame my child for all the negative things in my life.

Struggling financially? The kid.
Stressed? The kid, clearly.

My son is the easiest part of all of this. Stop blaming him.

Made my first-ever batch of refrigerator pickles today! When I was a little girl, my mom & MamMaw would make pickles from the cucumbers we grew in our garden, but doing it this way is a first for me. I’m really excited to see how they turn out!

If there’s one reason I’ll forever be passionate about prepping and self-sufficiency, it’s this upcoming storm system that’s about to hit Alabama.

Local weather legend James Spann has been reporting on this NONSTOP. And, yet, so many people seem to be completely unaware of the very real danger.

Spring is in the air. 🌷 These are the newest additions to the farm: Kabob, Shawarma, and their mama, Josephine! They’re my other goat, Gertrude’s, new herd!

Mrs. Salt is bound and determined to make a fool out of me. Every SINGLE time I go to the run, she manages to sneak her way out. Which then leads to 15 minutes of me sliding around (there’s mud underneath leaves) trying to catch this asshole.

I have the most aggressive baby fever for BIRDS right now.

I just want babies!!! 😭😭😭

My pretty Paprika. 🤍

Saffron (one of my three Buff Orpingtons) and Bergamot (my Lavender Olive Egger) are such pretty girls. 🤍

The girls have finally started laying regularly again. So thrilled to see this beautiful egg rainbow. 🤍 I’m also ready to start selling them again!
