Last year was the very first year we went strawberry picking. It was a no-brainer this year. We had to go strawberry picking at Messick’s Farm again this year. And then when we discovered that they were running a special of…
10 Differences Between the Proverbs 31 Woman and the Modern Housewife
As Christian wives, we so often become overwhelmed with the thought of becoming the wisdom of what was Solomon’s standard—the Proverbs woman. Many wives will say it’s impossible—it’s just a guideline. Other wives will say that it’s not impossible, and…
Our Icies Have Moved! + Why We Are No Longer Breeding Icies.

There are those moments in life when you’re just overwhelmed. We go through these moments — work is busy, home life is busy, motherhood and homemaking are busy, there are chores that need to be completed and projects that need…
Small Livestock Predators: To kill, or not to kill?
*photo below may be graphic for some* It is absolutely inevitable. At some point on your homesteading journey, you are most likely going to encounter a predator. But we’re often tasked with that age old question — do you kill…
{Product Review} Brinsea Ecoglow 50
Nothing ever goes as planned, that is inevitable. We have established that multiple times on this blog. I think you’ve gotten the point, but I just thought I would reiterate, once again. We had planned to have several large batches…
{Personal Journey} Never Trust Your Tongue When Your Heart Is Bitter
I had an entire blog written out in my head yesterday morning. My mind and my heart had been overwhelmed for far too long when it came to certain people and situations. My husband asked me a question about a…
The Art of Good Husbandry
When we started our homesteading adventure, I knew that “just having a few farm animals” wasn’t going to necessarily be an easy task. But I also didn’t realize how much observation and cleanliness was involved. If you know me, then…
Hatching Chicken Eggs 101
I have some friends that are absolutely terrified of hatching chicken eggs. And rightfully so. They probably didn’t have this incubating chicken eggs 101 blog post when they got started, duh! I hear the horror stories all the time on…
{Personal Journey} Witnessing Begins with Relationship
My entire life I grew up being told that I had to follow specific rules and regulations in Christianity. But even as a child, I was never told “why” I had to follow them. I just did. As I grew…
![[POST 1/MANY] For starters, this is not a family friendly post, so reader beware. Over the last few days I have received so many insane messages and comments, that it was too much not to talk about. I debated on posting about it, but I feel like it’s necessary. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I have been a blogger for over 15 years, in some way or another. I have been an online influencer for almost as long. In my well over a decade of experience, I have never, in my entire time of doing this, ever been so attacked as I have been this week online. It’s no secret that I have always stated, loudly (but kindly), that I am a Christian. In the 15 years of blogging, homesteading, and influencing, I have never been attacked for my faith. Not to the extent of this week. It has never been an issue. I have always said, “I talk about Jesus because He is my daily life, but I will never force Jesus into your life.” This has always been enough. I have online followers who are atheist, Hindi, agnostic, and more—who have been here for almost that entire 15 years, and who have never had an issue with me sharing my lifestyle.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

My belief is that which the Bible states, “judge not those outside of the church, but those within it”. That has always been my motto. So if you are an unbeliever, I don’t judge you. It’s none of my business what you do, what you believe, or how you live your life. It’s no one else’s business either. You should do you, and you should totally own it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The reality is that, this week, it hasn’t just been the random follower attacking me (there have been some pretty rude ones, though)….many of the attacks were coming from fellow “Christians”. I put that in air quotes because I believe that some of them are, indeed, just Luke-warm. You know, the ones that get spit out of God’s mouth.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

To give you an idea, here are some things I’ve been called this week….by “Christians”….⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
