It doesn't happen often, but currently we are not at home. The entire family made the decision to get away on a last minute vacay!

Surprising Uses for Steel Wool, for Homestead Sunday #17

Welcome to Homestead Sunday, where we share what we have learned, what we do on a regular basis, and what projects we are building, rebuilding or working on. Who are we? We are a three generation family living on six acres in South Eastern Texas. 

And while we have only been in Texas a short time three years, we have had the homestead mentality while living the lifestyle for quite a few more. Starting out with our time living in Montana. And, although we are not experts in any way, I hope that what we share with you with this series is helpful, as well as inspirational for you and your own homestead journey. Or even with your own home and yard in the suburbs. Because to homestead is an much an action as it is a lifestyle.
