Welcome, friends! My name is Kaylee, and I invite you to pull up a seat and join me; sometimes, we all need a few encouraging words from a friend in this world.
I couldn’t think of a better first "welcome" blog than to bare my heart and share the unknowingly embarked journey of my homestead—a journey that is healing me.
With every skill learned from the past, it feels like a stitch, mending a piece of ourselves we might have thought was broken. It's a journey of discovery where each 'new' old skill brings a sense of wholeness. But here's the beautiful truth—we aren't broken; we simply need to grant ourselves permission not to believe we are!
Welcome to a place where the act of learning forgotten crafts feels like a healing balm. Here, amidst the embrace of nature, we connect with the wisdom of herbalism, understanding the nurturing power of plants. Foraging becomes more than just gathering sustenance; it's a lesson in patience and gratitude, discovering treasures in the wild.
Beekeeping, with its gentle hum, teaches us harmony and symbiosis with these tiny yet wondrous creatures. Homemaking transforms into a symphony of creating a sanctuary—a space that echoes comfort, warmth, and love. Gardening, beyond nurturing plants, nurtures our souls, reminding us of the cycles of life and growth.
In this space, we call our homestead, the pursuit of 'old' wisdom isn't just about the past; it's a therapeutic journey to embracing who we truly are. It's a reminder that healing isn't always about fixing what's broken, but about rediscovering and celebrating our inherent completeness.
I am thankful for the wisdom I have received and acknowledge the guidance from God in every seed sown, every creature cared for, and every lesson learned. It is His grace that blesses this journey, lighting the path toward understanding and unity with nature's rhythms.
So, come along and join me on this journey of rediscovery. Let's learn, grow, and mend those pieces we thought were missing, not because we're broken, but because there's beauty in embracing every facet of our unique selves.
Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty and learn something old-
Kaylee

This is truly wonderful and resonates so deeply in my (and many others) heart. I love having a homestead, but I had no idea how healing and fulfilling it was going to be when I began my own journey in herbalism. I feel like it’s something that other herbalists would understand the most. It’s pure magic!
I lucked across the Honeystead on youtube a while back and try to keep up when I can. I am probably not the normal viewer that you have.I am a life long machinist,and when I say life long I mean that I have been machining sense I was 12yrs old I am 58 now.All these yrs have taken it’s tole on me and my health.In these last few yrs it has been even more than previous .After my wife and I raised our 2 daughters we got out 2 granddaughters to raise .The oldest of them graduated this past spring and the youngest turns 17 in two weeks.The wildest thing is I have been married to my wife for 40yrs in 3 weeks and it has all gone by so fast. I need your help, I feel beat and I mean that in everyway. Mentally and physically I am worn out but I’m not ready to be .There is still so much more that I wish to do at home and in life. Is there something on the herbal side that can help or is this mostly mental and I just need to get over it ,pull up my bootstraps and get on ….??? Thank you for your postings and we joy your YouTube channel and the info and content that you share.
