Day in the Life on the Homestead

Join me as I take you along with me to do my daily chores. Some of them are done every day, and some of them are more seasonal in nature. No matter what day it is, there’s always something to be done on the homestead.

Morning Chores

Morning chores look pretty similar from day to day, but there are always seasonal tasks that pop up here and there to bring a nice variety.

Afternoon Chores

Today’s afternoon chores include flipping over the Norris Farmstead from our last guests to prepare it for the next guests. There’s something so satisfying about putting our little farmhouse back together so the next guests can enjoy it, but that means the chores on our own homestead are left undone until the evening!

Come hang out with me as I share some Farmstead updates and show you how much our little ducklings have grown!
