During the first couple months of the year, I did a great job sticking to my weekly posting schedule. I got in a post in March (or was it two), and that post was really good! It was my first post over 2,000 words, and it was on one of my favorite topics: herbs! However, [Continue]

Easy Chicken Tractor for Laying Hens!
I can’t tell you how hard it was to find a chicken tractor that was easy to build for my laying hens. Actually, it was too hard. An easy chicken tractor for laying hens eluded me for so long, I decided to design my own. I needed a chicken tractor solid enough to keep predators [Continue]
Bamboo Stitch Loom Knit Scarf
*Originally published on 1/17/17 on my old craft blog. Migrated to Two Acres on a Dream on 1/28/18* I wanted to make a scarf for my husband this year. A nice thick and warm scarf, but also one that was a touch decorative. While I settled on a bamboo stitch loom knit scarf, I started out [Continue]
I Found a Great Homestead Journal
MorningChores.com published a free homestead journal on their blog this week, and I couldn’t be happier! Since I feel like this is my first year really taking on multiple aspects of actual homesteading, I was looking for a journal to record it all in! Their blog does a really good job describing it, so I’ll [Continue]

Curious Deer and Unfinished Homestead Projects
Well, I will never leave an unfinished homestead project out in the open for a curious deer ever again. It really is the only explanation. Hooligan children didn’t do it because….. We don’t have any hooligan children in this rural neighborhood. Anyway, I’m sure you’re wondering, “Didn’t do what?”. Nature gave me this Christmas present [Continue]
Dawn Musings and Homestead Lessons Learned
I planned great things when I started my blog this summer. And then…. Life. So much life happened. There were tons of projects that I wanted to do before the summer ended, that I just didn’t get around to. Like this one:
DIY Pallet Compost Bin – 3-Bin System
If you are anything like me, you have been envious of the fancy, clean looking compost bins you have seen in the home improvement and garden stores. We just bought our house, and it is a bit of a fixer-upper. As a result, I don’t really have the money to throw at a commercial compost bin that can [Continue]
Homesteading a Step at a Time
Homesteading a Step at a Time Let me be clear. I do not own any land. I don’t even own the house my family lives in. We are planning on moving this year, and buying a nice house with at least two (preferably 5) acres. I have wanted to live somewhere I could have chickens [Continue]
