Hi—I’m Katie. I’m a sahm to a toddler boy and we live on a small farm with a little bit of everything. I like to share bits and pieces of our kitchen/garden/animal/homeschooling adventures. New to Primal—my husband convinced me to join. Anyone else out there with similar interests?

Post about all this stuff and hashtag accordingly! You can directly follow hashtags here - not just accounts - very useful and inclusive.
hi katie! also mom to toddler boy, homeschool, many dogs, lover of the kitchen❤️ also husband joined first ❤️ but i really like it here. hope you will, too.
I’m not a talented homesteader but love cooking and plan to be homeschooling with my husband in a few years - giving you a follow! (My husband also convinced me to hop on here to meet more folks who share our values) 🙂
Welcome to nostr I am a former homeschool mom. My three are now adults We have a small suburban homestead with quail and rabbits.
Welcome to Nostr katie, its the warmest freindlest corner of the internet. Nostr attracts independent like-minded folks so were all eager to share and learn so don't be afrid to share what your up to 🫂

Hi Katie. I’m a SAHD, who also works from home. I like to ruminate on how #Bitcoin can act as collateral for my family values. Welcome.

Awesome, nice to meet you!
There's the occasional odd bod and bot attack, but otherwise it is. If you want to find like minded folks follow hashtags on those subjects and put hashtags in your notes. Another tip is to put them after any photos or include them in the note. And questions just #asknostr and we'll help where wil can 👍🏻
Hi Katie 😊 I'm full time running our homestead with my partner @TBone and I like to share bits about our garden and things I make in the kitchen too. Make sure you follow #homesteading for more people with the same interest.

All of those are things I've been involved with. I homeschooled my eldest son and he is currently in college with a full scholarship and a dual major in computer science and math. I am still homeschooling my youngest, who is 17 and has Down Syndrome and I will probably homeschool him until he is 21. I live on several acres and have gardened and raised chickens and rabbits, but my homesteading kind of fell apart last year. Between running a business, homeschooling, raising a special needs son, and becoming a writer, I didn't have much time for homesteading. I didn't have an annual garden last year (don't know about this year) and had to get rid of my chickens a few years ago due to a lung sensitivity. I had to choose between eggs and breathing. With staying busy, I haven't bred my bunnies in about a year. I've learned a lot, but can't say I'm doing many of those things at the moment other than the homeschooling. I'm hoping to have time to get back to some of the homesteading, but we will have to see.

Thank you! We really aren’t homeschooling much yet. My son is only 15 months, so just working on language and learning through play now. How old is your daughter? I’m hoping I can tackle my garden more this year. Last year it went to crap—couldn’t keep up with a baby and postpartum and exclusive pumping.
Welcome! Nostr is weird. Find your weird! 😁 As an FYI, nostr (the social side of it) does not work like other social media. Anyone can sign up and interact. As such, I caution all parents to NEVER put up pics of their children on nostr. There is no central authority to try to get to take down things. There are malicious actors that save literally everything. There is no good way to make them stop. Because of these things, I cannot recommend anyone upload pics of their children on nostr.

Would love to hear your advice on homeschooling and more! Our homestead was forced to downsize some last year while I was postpartum. I tried to garden but couldn’t keep up. I’m hoping this year will be easier with a toddler. We also have cows, and we have baby chicks arriving in a few weeks to re-establish a layer flock. We also do pastured broilers and pigs seasonally.

Thanks! I followed you back.
fruit trees & perennial edible plants in general might be an option when time is very scarse. You plant them once, harvest "forever"

I've got a fair number of perennials: strawberries, currants, cherry trees, apple trees, and asparagus, etc. I've also got some carrots, that didn't get fully harvested, that went to seed and reseeded.

Very nice. Definitely ask any homeschooling questions you have. Homeschooling has been wonderful for both of my sons, as different as they are. It did require being creative and flexible because they were so different and anything that was ideal for one was horrible for the other and vice versa except one history curriculum, but even that has been used completely differently for the two.
