Are you overwhelmed by the demands of homestead life? Do you yearn for a sense of peace and purpose as you care for your family and the land entrusted to you? Do you wish for a trusted mentor and companion to support you through the challenges of each day? This podcast helps bridge the gap between the dream of a simple, peaceful homestead and the reality many people face, offering solutions to create the calm and fulfillment you imagined. My mission is to empower you with not only the tools and skills to homestead and manage your home, but to be able to fully utilize them with systems, routines and a big helping of faith.
Hi, Friend. I’m Amanda, a fourth-generation homesteader, mother, and former educator. When I first returned to my childhood farm I was exhausted by how many things had to be done and all the things I needed to learn. My home fell into disarray and my marriage suffered.
But God, in his infinite wisdom gave me a mentor and pulled me out of the never ending cycle of overwhelm. I learned though trial and error how to run a home smoothly and keep it clean (most of the time). I learned traditional skills and how to provide for my family from the land. And I’m ready to share it with you.
If you’re ready to find that mentor in your life, and solutions that are simple and easy to implement. Ready for results that empower you to grow in peace, nurture your loved ones, and steward the home God has provided - then this podcast is for you! Let’s grow together in peace, purpose, and sustainability—both within our homes and across the homestead.

20 | Faith in the Chaos: Parenting, Homesteading, and the Guilt We Don’t Talk About - Guest Leslie Warwick
In today’s episode, we’re talking about the beautifully chaotic reality of raising littles while running a homestead (or trying to get anything done, really).
I’m joined by my dear friend Leslie to have an honest, grace-filled conversation for the mamas in the thick of it—whether you’re balancing chores and children, business and babywearing, or faith and fatigue. We’ll share the real-life struggle of feeling pulled in all directions, the guilt of not “doing enough,” and the surprising ways we’ve found joy and purpose in the middle of it all. You’re not behind, Mama—this is the work. And God meets us right here, at the kitchen sink and the chicken coop, with children tugging at our skirts.
What it’s really like trying to be productive with little ones around
How to shift your mindset and routines to find small wins and creative solutions (hello, toy buckets in the barn!)
Encouragement to let go of perfection and lean into presence
A conversation about faith in the chaos—and how interruptions can be holy invitations
Practical tips for including kids in the work (without losing your mind)
Closing challenge: Invite your children into one task this week and watch what happens
If this episode encouraged you, share it with a fellow mama who’s doing the hard and holy work of raising kids while homesteading or working from home. Your presence matters more than your productivity.
Tell me your best (or most chaotic!) story of trying to homestead with littles underfoot. I’d love to hear from you at connect@SimplyLivingHomestead.com.
