Guess who's back!
We took a brief break over the summer, because, well it was busy!
We are excited to be back and to dive into all the things that we were diving into before we stopped diving into all those things.
Imagine going from 1 to 100 acres with all your animals and plans, well that is exactly what our guest Heidi with Generations Marketplace did! She is a personal hero of ours, a long time friend, and a homesteader role model for the avid or amateur homesteader.
You wont regret listening to her and her story.
Today we are talking about an inconvenient truth, how sustainability isnt always easy.
We are also going to be talking about a special guest we are having join us next episode!
Hey everyone, sorry for that little break. Life gets busy, especially when the snow is gone. There are fences to be mended and moved, wood to be cut, and seeds to be planted.
BUT we are back and we are ready to talk about homesteading, our 5 year goal.
We are moving towards this goal in our lives, and we would love to bring you along with us.
Do you have a relationship with food that is based on memory? We do, we both love grilled cheese sandwiches and for two separate reasons.

Yep. It can be pretty bad.
This one was fun! We started. We stopped. Then we re-started!
Do you have an irrational fear? We do. A few of them actually.
Can make life interesting, especially when you are near bugs or high ledges.
My uncle Mike was a truly funny man, and I think there is a joke in here that I think he would
a) have made himself
b) laughed at
c) all of the above
I hope you enjoy this episode even though we talk about how we are feeling, which after a day like today, is kinda grey.
Pacifically, I am flusterated about a few things.
Wors.
Sometimes people just say the wrong ones.
Well, it was bound to happen. We talked about something and then fought, then we deleted that episode, then we recorded this one to talk about it.
Childhood memories and experiences that sometimes we just cant escape. We also talk about camping, whats good, whats bad, and why people don't eat better when they are camping.
One of the best things about winter, according to Kayla, is that it ends.
Springtime is a great time to start thinking and planning all the projects you want to see done.
The days are getting longer, the wind is a littler warmer, and its good for body mind and soul to start preparing for what is next.
Clumsy? No way. Unlucky? Yep.
I share maybe a few of the more embarrassing unlucky moments I have had (Seth speaking).
I am a dog. 100 percent.
Who can tolerate the mess the longest, thats really our cleaning strategy. Its not more complicated than that really.
We are right now in the grips of a polar vortex, and although it has the name of a ride you might see at a fair, it is not. It is a cold and miserable thing that makes keeping animals alive pretty darn hard.
Also, don't call your pets fur babies.
We are going there, we are going to talk about postpartum depression and how you can maybe help someone you know. Its a real thing, and its ok to talk about it.
Remember, you are not alone!
Its fairly obvious that we are in some ways polar opposite from one another. We like to tell ourselves it is what gives us all of our strength, like gamma radiation for the relationship.
Join in as we discuss the differences and struggles of opposing personalities.
We talk about tattoos, where you should and shouldn't get them, and maybe things you should avoid. Whether you have em, want em, hate em, you will enjoy this conversation.
This is the one where we talk about music. Yep. Our favourite bands, our favourite genres, our favourite songs.
We also give 4 recommendations of bands you need to listen to
-Bookie Baker
-Badgentina
-Redwhyn
-The Lacks
Join us as we discuss fixing trucks and trying to be handy. Thankful I have mechanical friends.
We also talk about the difficulty of putting kids to bed and the difference between coming from a big family and a single child home.
We sit down and talk about our journey with money and offer some tips on how you can enjoy life a little better with more money!
Well, we are talking about where we live. Why? Our stories might not make sense if you are imagining us in some metropolis or giant city. If you are you may even become worried about the amount of wildlife we encounter. So, we figured it important to let you know where we live.
We are also going to discuss the differences between canoes and kayaks. This is a big deal to me (Seth).
Might as well learn of Seths misfortunes with horses.
We talk, reluctantly, about hunting and the best kind of bear as well as what to read while stranded on an Island.
The best part about being married for 12 years and having 4 kids is that we have learned to talk about nothing a lot!
Often when we talk about nothing we touch on every subject imaginable.
So grab a coffee and join in on the conversation as we touch on curdled milk, failed hide tanning, and true crime podcast idea
