Learning to homestead means adjusting to a different pace of life. In rural areas, things move at a rhythm that contrasts sharply with the city’s hustle. Sometimes, it’s about slowing down—taking the time to chat with neighbors, enjoy the quiet of nature, and appreciate the simple moments. But when the weather shifts or a special event comes up, it’s time to pick up the pace and get things done. Join me on PurlsAndPixels as I share the rustic living tips and advice I’ve gathered while building my homestead, blending the art of slowing down with the know-how to tackle the challenges of rural living.
