In this episode, we take time to look back on the goals we set at the beginning of 2025 and share an honest recap of what worked, what didn’t, and what we learned along the way. From launching the podcast and reaching 80+ episodes in our very first year, to tackling home and farm goals like making household supplies, cloth diapering, preserving food, improving systems, and experimenting with new skills, this conversation is full of real-life reflections from a busy homestead season.
We talk through wins like better freezer meals, improved grazing systems, growing confidence in food preservation, and building small systems that save time and energy. We also share the goals that didn’t quite pan out—like homemade pasta experiments, cucumbers for pickling, and hard cheese—and why letting some things go can be just as valuable as pushing through. If you enjoy honest conversations about homesteading, family life, and learning as you go, this episode is a relatable and encouraging end-of-year reflection.
