Life as a wife, mother, & Farmhand
Hi everyone!👋🏻 My name is Riss (Marissa). I am 32, married to the love of my life, and mama to 5 children (E, C, K, J, & J)
We moved to our Homestead in early 2020, right before the world shut down.🌎 Thankfully, we had our little slice of heaven on earth to invest all our time in. I love spending time outside with our chickens, cows, and garden. In the home, I love to cook and bake, and try to incorporate the food we grow on our land. I am slowly finding everyday items I can make from scratch for my family.
The Lord has blessed us so abundantly.
I started this blog to share my journey as a mother, wife, and chicken tender, all while navigating the joys and challenges of a simple life on a homestead. My goal is to connect with other moms and provide a space for sharing experiences and tips for living a fulfilling life.
I would love to hear from you and connect!

Our Family Values and Beliefs
At the heart of our family is a commitment to faith in Christ, love, and resilience. We believe in the power of community and the importance of supporting one another through life’s challenges. Our homestead is not just a place; it’s a lifestyle that teaches us valuable lessons about hard work, gratitude, and the beauty of nature. We invite you to join us on this journey of growth and discovery, as we strive to create a nurturing environment for our children and ourselves.
Life on the homestead is a blend of hard work and joy. We cultivate not only our land but also our relationships, ensuring that every day is filled with purpose and connection. Our experiences shape us, and we hope to inspire others to find their own paths to happiness and fulfillment.
The Joys of Homesteading
Homesteading is more than just a lifestyle; it’s a way to connect with nature and our roots. We grow our own food, raise animals, and learn the importance of sustainability. Each season brings new challenges and rewards, teaching us patience and perseverance. Through this journey, we aim to foster a sense of responsibility in our children, encouraging them to appreciate the hard work that goes into every meal and every moment spent outdoors.
Parenting Through the Ages
Parenting is a beautiful yet challenging journey, especially when raising children of different ages. Each child brings their own unique personality and needs, requiring us to adapt and grow as parents. We share our experiences, tips, and lessons learned along the way, hoping to connect with other parents who may be navigating similar paths. Our goal is to create a supportive community where we can all learn from each other and celebrate the joys of family life together.
