Come be a part of it with us!

I’ve always loved the idea, but it didn’t ever really seem possible? I’d like to think the “one day” and dreaming, truly meant that one day it would be possible. The problem with that dream is, I was waiting on my circumstances to change, before I chased it! I realized, I was imagining myself living in another state. I had made myself believe that I had to move, in order to make this long awaited dream come true.

Just another day, sipping coffee and talking about what was on our minds. Chad asked “what do you want to do?” We were talking about She’s Rooted Home, my passions and goals, but I knew what he meant. What did I want? What was Tara’s dream, not She’s Rooted Home’s goal! Meaning if I didn’t have a blog, social media and/or had no one watching, how would I want to spend my days?

I love all that I share through She’s Rooted Home- rooting ourselves in Gods word, creating a purposeful home, building a community, cultivating a homestead, gardening, working towards an organic lifestyle and crochet basics; but it’s a lot of work to juggle all of these, while being a wife and homeschooling mama of 3!

I’m constantly coming up with new ideas on how I can better serve the She’s Rooted Home community. I love that each of you choose to spend part of your day with me, and I always want to make sure that I am adding value in some way. But the burnout.. or maybe we’ll call it discouragement.

I’d come up with these new ideas, eager to get to work, and serve others on their journey- back to the basics. Spending hours creating in-depth content and free downloads, around my frequently asked questions. Excited to release these new pieces of content, but I’d soon find myself discouraged. Why didn’t my community want these helpful resources?

When I answered Chads question, my heart leaped for joy and a smile grew. I knew what I wanted, I always had(Read My About Me, HERE)! “I wanted SHEEP!” I wanted to care for them, love them and experience the pure joy they could bring our homestead! I want to learn what it takes to care for a small herd, how to sheer, clean, spin and hand dye my own wool, that was produced by my own sheep.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been researching the different unique breeds, that I’d like to own. What they need- shelter, fencing, livestock guardian dog, water/feed troughs, feed. Other miscellaneous costs- sheering school, hoof trimming, occasional vet bills, de-worming, vaccinating.

The costs were adding up quickly! Especially because we want to move forward with the exact breed, shelter and fencing we would like. A sheep is estimated to live about 10-12 years and we don’t want to just dive in with whatever we could get. We want to make sure that whatever animals we bring home would have a forever home, and we wouldn’t have to worry about upgrading in the future.

I started brainstorming ways we could fund extending the homestead, and add sheep to She’s Rooted Home, but it felt impossible! Then those thoughts “what if we do move?” came to mind.. but I wasn’t willing to lock this dream up again. I do believe the Lord will call us to another state, but for now we are choosing to build a life we love, right where we’re at! We are choosing to step out of the idle life, and with your help, not waiting another year to make this dream a reality.
