When your children don’t want to share, teach them St. Therese of the Child Jesus’ “little sacrifices” practice. Just like homesteading, prayer can start in a small and sustainable way, growing into a beautiful daily habit as you consistently practice it.

[Our Lady's Ranch @ourladysranch]

The goal is to center our life in Jesus and the easiest way to do that is to remember that he is our friend. He just wants to be included :) When a hummingbird looks in through the window while you do the dishes, thank Him for that moment!

While the goal may be to have morning prayer, meet for the Angelus at lunch, say the Chaplet at 3pm and then the Rosary in the evening… This isn’t realistic if daily prayer is new to your family.

HOW TO START HOMESTEADING

Pray Together

“The family that prays together, stays together.” Fitting prayer into your life is incredibly difficult — we get it. But it doesn’t have to be.

[Our Lady's Ranch @ourladysranch]

While it can be intimidating, co-ops and charters are also great ways to find support or to ease into this new lifestyle.

HOW TO START HOMESTEADING

Homeschool Your Children
Homeschooling was still a fringe idea when our kids were still in school. Nowadays, it has become a normal option and we are so thankful for it!

[Our Lady's Ranch @ourladysranch]

By homeschooling your children you are able to pass on your morals and principles without worrying what else is influencing them in the public sphere. They are allowed to be innocent children as long as possible and you will be blessed with the intimacy of this fleeting age.

Maybe enjoying at least one meal together every day is a goal you can work towards. Or, if you already do this, how can you make these encounters more intentional?

HOW TO START HOMESTEADING

Eat Meals Together

This may seem like such a simple concept, but in our busy world it is astounding how little time families actually spend together.

[Our Lady's Ranch @ourladysranch]

The first one stated, “Eat dinner together at least once a week.” What about eating together every day or every meal? Think about what is attainable for your family at this time.

[Our Lady's Ranch @ourladysranch]

Our answer is really simple: start now. It doesn’t matter what your living situation is because homesteading is about ordering your life around the family and nature and you can do this anywhere!
