Back in 2013 RancherMan suggested I begin writing about our lives here on our Homestead. So we started a website and I started writing. I love sharing about our lives and glimpses into our days!
I began doing a feature at the end of each year where I share the top 10 posts that resonated with you the most, whether recipes, simple living or projects we’ve done.
I thought it would be fun to share a recap of what you readers have deemed all the most popular posts by year. You can see each year’s top 10 homesteading posts right here in one place!

We all had to start the road to simplicity at the very beginning. So even if you’re a veteran eco-warrior, don’t belittle someone else’s humble beginnings. Let’s support each other in our path to living simply! Remember we’re all in different places in our lives.

Self reliance and voluntary simplicity equals power. The advertising moguls would have you believe that you need them to do things for you – that many of those convenience items are just too complicated or time consuming for you to be able to do them for yourself.
Don’t buy into it! I’ve found that when I practice Voluntary Simplicity and Self Reliance that I feel empowered.
Empowered to do more, and to do for myself better and cheaper than they can and certainly with a greener footprint.
What in particular brought me to this realization? Read on, dear friends.
