The Accidental Homesteader: What I've Learned about Chickens, Compost, and Creating Home by Kathi Lipp

Homesteading [hohm-sted-ing]
noun

1. an act or instance of establishing a homestead.
2. the act of loving where you live so much that you actively ignore the fact that your house is trying to kill you on a regular basis.

For Kathi Lipp and her husband, Roger, buying a house in one of the most remote parts of Northern California was never part of the plan; many of life's biggest, most rewarding adventures rarely are.

Kathi shares the hard-won wisdom she's gained on her homestead journey to help you accomplish more at home, gain fresh perspective, and give yourself grace in the process. Here's a handful of the lessons Kathi shares:

• Prepare before the need arises
• Everything is always in process, including us
• Your best household solution is time and patience
• You don't have to do everything the hard way
• Be open to new and better ways of doing things
• A lot of small changes make a huge difference.

Highly practical, humorous, and inspirational, The Accidental Homesteader will encourage you to live with more peace, joy, and contentment.
