Homesteading, homeschooling, DIY, sustainable living

Taught my daughter how locks work today — and how to pick one.

Not for mischief, but for mastery.

Understanding how something works gives you more respect for it… and a few extra tools in your toolkit.

Built a gate for the fence today—with help.

One kid grabbed the impact, the other handled cleanup with the blower, and somewhere along the way, the frame turned into a balance beam.

That’s the kind of learning I want them to grow up with: tools, trust, and a little room to play.

Phase 1 of the roof redo. stripping shingles and patching a surprise hole we didn’t expect to find. Nothing like discovering extra “bonus projects” mid-demo. First time doing a roof. #youtubeuniversity

Teaching my daughter the art of throwing knives—with safe 3D-printed ones, of course.

My wife shows how it’s done, and we all aim small to miss small.

She collects mugs. I build displays.

A little weekend project to show her (and the mugs) some love.

We didn’t plan it.

No worksheets. No schedule.

Just a weekend of frogs, foxes, and daisy crowns.

This is homeschooling—when you let the world teach. 🌾

He saw me grab the bucket and ran to grab a sponge.

Not because it was his job. But because it was mine.

Our kids want to be with us in the small stuff.

Not later. Not when it’s convenient.

He didn’t want to wash the truck.

He wanted to be part of what I was doing.

So we made a mess. Laughed a lot.

And yeah, the truck got clean, too.

✨ Just a little magic for our summer nights.

String lights, barefoot kids, laughter in the air —

this is the kind of glow we’ll remember.

Stopped for a moment to watch a bumblebee working the overgrown chive blossoms.

In the middle of building, parenting, planning — nature’s still doing her thing. Quietly. Beautifully.

Sometimes the best part of homesteading is what grows when you don’t control it.

Shed Build Series: Sheet Metal Time!

We’re covering up — putting on the metal roofing and siding, one panel at a time.

Drills humming, panels lining up, and yes… the kids found a way to be part of it too (even if that meant playing with magnets and handing us screws 😄).

This part always feels like a transformation — from a skeleton of studs to a solid structure that’s finally taking shape.

Still a ways to go, but this roof is on, and it’s starting to feel real.

🏠 Shed Build Series: Roof Time!

This episode we’re up top — cutting rafters and explaining how to make those key bird’s mouth cuts so everything sits tight and true.

It’s a mix of math, muscle, and measuring twice (sometimes three times with kids around 😅).

The kids are still on board, handing up tools and keeping things interesting.

One step closer to a roof over our shed and another memory made.

Shed walls going up — and so are the memories.

Today we got two more walls framed and mounted, with the kids lending a hand (and then diving into a well-earned sandbox break).

It’s not just about what we’re building — it’s who we’re building it with.

Every project becomes a lesson, a laugh, and a chance to slow down and do something real together.

Shed Build Part 2! 🔨 We framed up the back wall and got it mounted — nothing fancy, just steady hands, a level, and a good afternoon of work.

Every wall going up feels like one step closer to the space we’re building for tools, projects, and maybe a little peace and quiet. 😅

These builds aren’t just about what you’re putting together — it’s about who you’re doing it with and what you’re building towards.

Kicking off our shed build series! 🔨 Step one was all about laying a solid foundation — literally. We built the floor frame, squared it up, and got it perfectly level (or close enough for real life 😉).

Because any good build — whether it’s a shed, a homestead, or a family — starts with a solid base.

Follow along as we take this from leveled lumber to fully functional backyard workspace.

Homeschooling isn’t a separate part of our day — it is our day.

It looks like tiny feet underfoot while I answer emails.

It sounds like questions mid-project and giggles over lunch.

It means building a life where learning, business, marriage, and family all overlap and grow together.

This is the messy, magical, real-life classroom we’re creating — one where love leads, curiosity thrives, and community is part of the curriculum.

 🍕 Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!

Today marks the day 2 pizzas were famously bought for 10,000 BTC…

At today’s prices? That’s over $1 BILLION worth of za.

We’re honoring it the best way we know how—firing up the Masterbuilt and cooking some pizzas the old-fashioned way. Wood smoke, melted cheese, and just a little more financially responsible.

To the guy who made history (and maybe some regrets)—this slice’s for you.

✨ New Family Tradition: Themed Nights!

First up: 90s Entertainment Night

We went all in—

🎮 Watched old-school Pokémon episodes

🕹️ Played some arcade-style games

🍕 Made homemade pizza & stove-top popcorn

🍬 Snacked on 90s classics (Nerds, Fruit Roll-Ups, Gushers—yep, we found them!)

🌀 Decorated with neon lights & lava lamps for the full throwback vibe

It was the perfect mix of nostalgia for us and pure fun for the kids. Already planning the next theme night—because let’s be honest, this might be the start of something awesome.

📖 “Your reputation is all you really have…”

Today I flipped open Laws of Life by Jack Spirko to a random page—and landed right on a section about reputation. About how it’s something you build over years… and can lose in seconds. And how the people you choose to stand beside can either strengthen it—or sink it.

Felt extra potent after the conversations I had with coworkers today on that exact topic. Funny how the right words find you when you need them.

Protect your name. Build it with action. Guard it with your choices.

🎯 How to Add an AirTag to Your Milwaukee Packout 🔧📦

Losing your gear is NOT an option—so I added an AirTag to my Milwaukee Packout to keep tabs on it no matter where it goes. Here’s how I did it in under 5 minutes:

1️⃣ Pick a hidden spot (inside lid, under foam, or tucked in a divider)

2️⃣ Use double-sided tape or a low-profile mount

3️⃣ Pair it with your iPhone

4️⃣ Done. Peace of mind = locked in.

Track your tools smarter.

🌿 Lambsquarters: Wild Nutrition You Might Be Stepping Over

In our latest podcast episode, we dug into one of the most underrated backyard superfoods—lambsquarters.

Often seen as just a weed, this plant is packed with nutrients (think calcium, magnesium, and more iron than spinach!) and has a long history in herbalism as a cleansing and nourishing ally.

You can eat it raw in salads, sauté it like spinach, toss it in soups, or dry it for tea and nutrient-dense powder. It’s gentle on digestion and supports elimination pathways—great for spring detoxes and everyday nourishment.

Simple. Wild. Abundant.

Listen to the full conversation in our latest episode of the Wildheart Podcast.
