đ˛ Hi, weâre Joe & Tina â high school sweethearts, married 26 years, parents to 3 amazing kids, and proud retired military veterans.
In 2022, we sold almost everything and traded city life for a slower, more intentional life in Alaska. What started as a leap of faith has become a full-on homestead journey rooted in family, faith, hard work, and freedom. We share real life on our Alaskan homestead â the wins, the struggles, and everything in between. Youâll find:
⢠Homesteading
⢠Building projects & DIY
⢠Homeschooling & family life
⢠From-scratch cooking & preserving
⢠Seasonal rhythms of life in Alaska
⢠Cozy vlogs & honest conversations
We believe in living as self-sufficiently as possible, working with our hands, raising our kids close to nature, and choosing a life that feels meaningful â not rushed. If you love simple living, homesteading, family-centered content, and life in Alaska, youâre in the right place.

Welp, after a year of no sickness. We got hit hard the last couple of days. First Joe (whoâs still down) and now little Parker.đ¤
So far Kellen & I are holdinâ down the fort, praying we donât get it too.
Thankfully the sun is shining bright. âď¸Weâre all sunbathing and drinking warm bone broth with mineral salt. Doing all the thingsâŚsometimes itâs so hard to slow down.
But sickness doesnât really give you a choice does it? Say a little prayer for us today if you think of it!đ¤đ¤ Tina-

The last few days have been full.
We processed our 2025 lamb harvest.
Ground the meat.
Canned bone stock.
Smoked salmon from our dipnetting trip.
Saved some extras for our pups and chickens.
Itâs hard work.
Itâs long days.
Itâs cold hands and tired muscles.
But itâs also something deeper.
Thereâs a quiet kind of gratitude that comes from looking at jars lined up on the counter⌠knowing exactly where that food came from. Knowing the effort behind it. Knowing the life it required.
Weâre not just raising food.
Weâre raising kids who understand food.
Kids who know how to butcher respectfully.
How to preserve.
How to use every part.
How to work together.
How to provide.
That feels rare. And sacred.
There is something profoundly grounding about living this way. Hard-earned. Intentional. Slower. Real.
So grateful for this lifestyle.
For the work.
For the lessons.
For the abundance.
Thanks for joining us on our journey! Full video will be up tomorrow morning 6am Alaska time!
