In this episode of The Coop, you’ll learn:

• How Shaye defines homesteading (you’ll love this)
• Letting your definition evolve as seasons change: kids, business, capacity, and real life
• The overlap and differences between homesteading and homemaking
• What it actually means to “cultivate the beautiful life” in an ordinary week
• Using the five senses … music, scent, texture, light, and taste … to transform daily chores
• Simple non-negotiables: making the bed, cooking dinner, and “putting the kitchen to bed”
• Learning what’s worth preserving (and what isn’t) for your actual family
• Cooking with fewer ingredients, more pleasure, and what you already have on hand
• How travel (especially Italy) has shaped Shaye’s home, cooking, and aesthetic
• Practical strategies for traveling while homesteading … without burning out
• Why your homestead is here to serve you, not the other way around
• Holding onto what’s good, true, and beautiful in a home-centered life
