I’m counting down the days until our new chicks I’m counting down the days until our new chicks come ! I’m equally excited to receive our incubator in the mail. . Last year we brought home some beautiful Rhode Island Red chickens. I saved a friendly rooster (remember all those other ones that chased me screaming out of the coop?). . Just waiting to hatch out some purebred Rhode Island Reds as we all as some Black Stars. . Curious as to why these chickens are one of the most popular choices among homesteaders ? Check out my post ‘Is the Rhode Island Red a Friend or a Foe?’ . Spoiler: Let’s just say, don’t get on their bad side. Is there such thing as an alpha chicken ? #rhodeislandred #backyardchickens #canadianhomesteading
It’s a new experience butchering animals on our It’s a new experience butchering animals on our homestead. Animals that we have lovingly cared for, animals that are often more pets than anything else. . We mourn the loss of our animal, but celebrate the bounty and provision they bring to our family. . It’s not wrong to be sad and cry. It’s not wrong to get to attached. . It is different though. We’ve been very detached from our food source this past generation. It’s hard work to rebuild. .

Unfortunately, I was taking it out on the one person closest to me, my husband. I was irritable and annoyed, hopeless and frustrated.  . I thought we had a goal, I thought we had a plan.  . I have experienced the hopelessness of being stuck. . I have experienced the thrill of focus, determination, and overcoming. . And I know one thing: . You can too.

How I found contentment crammed in a small house. How I found contentment crammed in a small house. . Discontentment can overpower thought and reason; crowding out any recollection of peace or happiness; honing in on escape, rather than cost. . It drains colour and fuels contempt. . I have found myself stuck here, more than once. . Visit the blog to hear how we built contentment even when our situation didn’t change. #smallhouselife #debtfreecommunity #debtfreejourney
Talking about chicks, roosters, and the straight r Talking about chicks, roosters, and the straight run. . PS. Nice roosters do exist. We currently have three very nice roosters. . It may or may not have included us butchering all of the roosters that chased and attacked me every time I went into the chicken coop…. . Ya’ll know I screamed and ran away every time. . Teenager roosters are scary too, don’t be fooled by their patchy feathers. #canadianhomesteader #saskatchewanhomesteader #chickenfarmer
