[The Last Homely House @AHomelyHouse]

I've picked up quite a few new followers in the last couple of months, so I thought I'd post a little introduction.

I'm a Catholic father of nine (soon to be ten!), homeschooling and trying to make cool things in the Shenandoah area of Virginia. We live on a little homestead, but we don't do much real homesteading - we have some chickens and a handful of goats, and do some feeble attempts at gardening, though our pumpkin patch is absolutely crushing this year. But we still have to buy most of our food from the store or farmer's market, unfortunately.

My background is military: I enlisted in the Navy at 17 to become a SEAL, but got dropped from BUD/S for heatstroke in 2003. After my Navy enlistment I switched to the Army and went through the pipeline to Ranger Regiment. I served 4 years as a team leader in 3rd Ranger Battalion, deploying to Afghanistan 4 times from 2009 - 2013. After I got out I built a tiny house on a trailer and we hit the road, living nomadically as I tried some different things. I ended up landing back in my native Virginia, and spend several years working close protection overseas in Iraq and East Africa.

We were homeschooling our young children at the time, and I knew I wanted to be more available to build a more robust home environment and input more with my children's In 2017 I began teaching at the small private school my older children attended (I had 6 by this point). I was thrilled to teach and to finally be able to spend significant time with my children, contributing to their education at the level I always wanted to. It was a major pay-cut, though, and with my salary falling far short of my monthly bills with a family of 8 and 1 more on the way, I decided to turn my long-time hobby of calligraphy, illuminated art, and bookbinding into a side-business and so I started Tamburn Bindery to specialize in unique artistic texts and medieval-style books. I've been doing that now for 7 years.

Now we host a little forest school on our property for pre-school ages, and I spend my time doing classical and adventure-based education for my kids, helping with the forest school, and working on illuminated and artistic edition book projects, as well as a bit of calligraphy on the side when I can. I also love building things, and I'm often working on fort projects in the woods with the kids, and currently building a cabin for my oldest son. My X account is mostly a stream-of-consciousness recording of different projects I'm working on and dives into mythology and European/American cultural patrimony topics.

[Gubba Homestead @GubbaHomestead]

Two generations was all it took for homesteading and self-sufficiency skills to disappear.

We lose power when we don’t know how to care for ourselves.

I’m trying to relearn what my great-grandparents knew. What about you?

[Neve 🌷 @naturallyneve]

Hannah from Ballerina Farm is the definition of a ‘Cool Mom’.

She's a homesteading housewife who's broken free from societies norms.

But what does she do all day?
