I think we need to normalize the real side of homesteading… because somewhere along the way Pinterest and TikTok convinced y’all this life looks like a magazine spread 24/7.

Let me go ahead and clear that up real quick:

It does not. 😂

Y’all ever notice how in those videos everything is:
✨ perfectly organized
✨ labeled in matching jars
✨ not a single random object in sight

Meanwhile… over here on an actual working farm…

I’ve got what I lovingly call “project piles.”

Now if you don’t know what that is, let me educate you real quick.

A project pile is:
• Not junk
• Not trash
• Not hoarding

It is future potential.

That crooked board?
→ Future chicken coop repair.

That random bucket with no handle?
→ Probably gonna hold something important one day.

That pile of metal, wire, and “what even IS that?”
→ Don’t worry about it. I have a vision. 😌

The problem is… when you reuse everything…

You gotta store everything.

And suddenly your whole property starts looking like:
“Pinterest… but after a tornado.” 🌪️

And listen… I know it looks questionable to outsiders.

But I PROMISE you…

The minute you throw something away, that is the EXACT moment you need it.

Every. Single. Time.

You’ll be standing there like:
“Now where’s that broken gate latch I saved 3 years ago for no reason??”

Gone.
Because you got “organized” one time.

Never again.

So no… my farm may not look like a curated aesthetic dream.

But it does look like:
• projects in progress
• ideas waiting to happen
• and about 47 things I swear I’m fixing “this weekend”

And honestly?

That’s real life.

If your farm looks a little chaotic…
If you’ve got piles…
If your “organization system” is basically “I think it’s over there somewhere”…

Congratulations.

You’re doing it right. 👏

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go dig through a pile to find something I absolutely cannot live without today… that I haven’t needed in 2 years. 😅

Updated the pond and got it all cleaned and pretty. Turtles are happy to be in it 💕Now to add fish!

These girls are just what we needed on the farm!! Our little Maggie can be a bit shy and timid but makes up for it with her sweetest demeanor.. Mollly is now getting an extended tile of “mischief Molly” she has so much s***k and dives into anything head first.
