The Homestead Challenge
Hey friend! I’m Brittany — wife, mom of two little boys, city homesteader, and lover of all things garden, pantry, and herbal DIY. Around here, we’re not chasing perfection… we’re just taking tiny, doable steps toward a more homemade, nourishing, and sustainable life.
I share step-by-step videos, realistic routines, and the honest behind-the-scenes of learning homesteading skills as a mom on a quarter acre in the city. If you want practical, affordable, everyday homesteading that doesn’t feel overwhelming, you’ll feel right at home here. I’m still learning too, and that’s kind of the point—we grow together.
✨ Subscribe to learn, laugh, experiment, and build a life that feels like home.
