Are you overwhelmed by the demands of homestead life? Do you yearn for a sense of peace and purpose as you care for your family and the land entrusted to you? Do you wish for a trusted mentor and companion to support you through the challenges of each day? This podcast helps bridge the gap between the dream of a simple, peaceful homestead and the reality many people face, offering solutions to create the calm and fulfillment you imagined. My mission is to empower you with not only the tools and skills to homestead and manage your home, but to be able to fully utilize them with systems, routines and a big helping of faith.
Hi, Friend. I’m Amanda, a fourth-generation homesteader, mother, and former educator. When I first returned to my childhood farm I was exhausted by how many things had to be done and all the things I needed to learn. My home fell into disarray and my marriage suffered.
But God, in his infinite wisdom gave me a mentor and pulled me out of the never ending cycle of overwhelm. I learned though trial and error how to run a home smoothly and keep it clean (most of the time). I learned traditional skills and how to provide for my family from the land. And I’m ready to share it with you.
If you’re ready to find that mentor in your life, and solutions that are simple and easy to implement. Ready for results that empower you to grow in peace, nurture your loved ones, and steward the home God has provided - then this podcast is for you! Let’s grow together in peace, purpose, and sustainability—both within our homes and across the homestead.

31 | Do Kids Need Chores? Building Character Through Simple Homestead Rhythms
Have you ever looked around your home or farm and realized your kids weren’t carrying any of the load? That was me this summer with my four-year-old. As an only child and only grandchild, he had been given everything—without learning responsibility. I knew that had to change.
In this episode, I’m sharing how we began involving him in simple tasks like our Evening Reset and how that opened the door to teaching responsibility, one small step at a time. I’ll talk about how chores build character, what realistic expectations look like for kids of different ages, and why consistency matters more than rewards.
My hope is that you walk away encouraged and empowered to start involving your own kids in daily farm life—whether that’s in the garden, with the animals, or just around the house.
So grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s walk this journey together.
