We're hoping to clear the air about the misconception that homesteading is EASY. While we don't maintain that this lifestyle is easy, there are aspects of it that have become second nature to us, so in a sense, yes, it's easy. There's much more to it than that, and we genuinely believe that though homesteading may be difficult at times, it's most certainly worth it.
