Explore off-grid homesteading, homeschooling, and joyful family-living with us
From Our Homeschooling, Homesteading and Large-Family Living Blog
A Christ-centered family devoted to working, learning, serving and adventuring together.
We believe that the life God created for us–including the family, environment, and community he gave us–is our ideal laboratory for true education and personal growth.
Faith
We try to make our faith in a loving Heavenly Father and his Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, the center of everything we do.
Family
We echo L. Tom Perry’s assertion that “[i]n a world of turmoil and uncertainty, it is more important than ever to make our families the center of our lives and the top of our priorities.”
Self-Reliance
Our goal is to help each other joyfully pursue spiritual and temporal self-reliance through creative play, cooperative work, Christ-centered homeschooling, and community-based entrepreneurship.
Happiness in Family Life
is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities.”
