Building a Community

Homesteading Endeavors

Through gardening, intentional Farm-To-Table lessons and experiences, and time outside getting dirt on our feet, modern homesteading is our family’s dream to share with others. We hope to have families journey with us in our homesteading adventure.

Learning to live the “Fruits of the Spirit”

Listing the Fruits of the Spirit is one thing, But living them out takes practice and guidance. Learning to have love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control (Galatians 5) requires an environment that fosters those skills and speaks about them openly.

Keeping It Local

I aspire to shop local whenever possible. That includes acquiring food from local farms and farmer’s markets and avoiding a highly processed lifestyle. Supporting small businesses and family farms builds a sense of community and place.

A Cure For “Nature-Deficit Disorder”

Time in nature is important for everyone’s mental, emotional, and physical health. Getting unplugged and re-grounded is necessary in today’s over stimulated air space.

Slowing the Pace

Keeping in mind the “why’ of each day helps navigate through a busy world of unrealistic expectations. Choosing to be present in the moment and enjoying the blessings are the foundation of our daily pace. I am licensed through the State of Texas as an in-home childcare facility for 10 children. Keeping class sizes small will ensure all children receive one-on-one attention, while also providing the social aspect of having school friends.

Seasonal Rhythms

Like creation and nature, life moves through seasons. Our yearly schedule observes the Biblical Feast Days outlined in the Bible that were also observed by Yeshua (Jesus) and his followers. The school is open all year, including summers, with small seasonal breaks during the Biblical feast days. However, our curriculum will focus more on the “heart” aspects of the Bible, such as learning how to be kind to one another.

Discipline that Guides

I utilize the TBRI (trust based relational intervention) method for guidance and discipline. This method puts into practice 1Corinthians 13:4-8 (Love is patient, love is kind…) It is important to partner with families with clear communication and support. Parents are viewed as the child’s primary educator.

Stewardship

Homesteading brings a sense of accomplishment, and naturally teaches appreciation for what is gained through hard work, and perseverance, Reverence for “daily bread” received can’t be taught by a screen. The present generations must be intentional in cultivating stewardship.
