What We're Up To:

Homestead

We’re slowly building our homestead in the wide-open spaces of Eastern Idaho — raising horses, chickens, goats, and a couple of steers (with hopes to one day offer our own beef direct to consumer). Right now, it’s about learning as we go, making things a little more self-sufficient, and bringing our kids along for the ride — mud, mess, and magic included.

BLOG

This is where the stories live — the wins, the lessons, the links to things that actually work. We share everything from favorite travel spots and homestead gear to the behind-the-scenes real life stuff we don’t always post on social. No fluff. Just honest, helpful content from a family figuring it out as we go.

Wild + Free Kids

We believe in dirt under the nails, knees in the creek, and letting kids be kids. Around here, “feral” is a compliment. Parenting wild + free is about trusting our kids to try, fall, get back up, and grow — with boundaries, love, and lots of outdoor time. It’s not perfect, but it’s real. And that’s the whole point.
