Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!
Hello again!
Glad you could come by!
At Ridge Haven Homestead these last couple of weeks, we’ve been working on our cabin! Namely, the roof!
Thankfully, everyone has stayed safe, and we have made good progress! Our boys are the main roofers, and their skill has been improving steadily! I am excited just thinking how all this newfound carpentry skill can be put to work here for our cabin project.
By the way, our boys are 13, 14, and 16! I’ve been impressed over and over at their strength and stamina as they’ve helped us build! ??
Schoolwork currently involves carpentry ?. Check back and we will shift gears to the books soon! But, as they say, “make hay while the sun shines!”
We are thankful that the sun has been shining to give us plenty of work time!
AdToday I’m sharing a couple of posts that I hope will encourage my readers.
The first one is about our attitudes and what a certain little Twinkie taught our family about attitude improvements!
My second article deals with a topic near and dear to almost every mom–burnout! I talk about how important it is that we as moms (and especially those of us who homeschool or work at home) take time for ourselves. Not in a selfish way, but as a means for our own survival and peace of mind!
You know what they say, “If Mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy!” I think you’ll enjoy Self-Care For Homeschool Moms

Now on to the hop…
Homestead Blog Hop will take place every Wednesday and is for all things homesteading: real food recipes, farm animals, crafts, DIY, how-to’s, gardening, anything from-scratch, natural home/health, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, natural remedies, essential oils, & more! Basically anything related to homesteading.

Happy chickens make happy homesteaders, right? ?
Hi Laurie! Thank you so much for featuring my post about getting your garden ready for the first frost! I’m honored!
I made peach freezer jam this past week…not enough peaches to can jam, but enough for some freezer jam. I harvested horseradish and make sauce. Michelle from Souly rested blessed me with a copy of her upcoming book, ‘Sweet Maple,’ to review and I can’t wait to try some of the wonderful recipes!
Thanks so much for hosting!
Oh, I’m envious!
Peach jam sounds really yummy!
Keep me posted on new maple recipes you find! ?
Thanks for coming by!
