How do you Homestead with 3 Young Children? – Prepping the Barn for Snow and Extreme Cold
Homesteading is such a rewarding experience but it’s not without its challenges, and adding young kids into the mix has a tendency to slow work down as well. How can one person get anything done, especially in the winter when daylight is short and the animals need new bedding before a cold snap?

You can donate to the Western Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund here: https://secure.kentucky.gov/formservices/Finance/WKYRelief
Many individual communities have urgent needs as well. Contact local emergency management personnel to find out what items – like shampoo, blankets, diapers, etc. – are needed and where they can be donated. The Kentucky towns of Bremen and Mayfield are near and dear to our hearts, but Benton, Eddyville, Princeton, Dawson Springs, and many others were greatly impacted as well.
Thank you and God bless.

Ragon works a full-time job off the farm and with only one parent at home to take care of three kids some days are more productive than others. Mother Nature never sleeps, however, and when there’s a bad cold snap in the forecast we have to prioritize getting the barn ready for our animals. It’s not easy with children, and things tend to take a lot longer than expected, so sometimes you just have to make do. And really, as bad as it sounds, maybe you just need to lower your expectations.

Lowering expectations isn’t always a bad thing, though. Patience is a virtue, and slowing down and learning to enjoy the journey (not just the finish line) is a part of this life that we really enjoy. And especially in the case of children, watching them learn about the world around them is one of the most rewarding parts of parenthood.
