“The modern homestead movement is 100% a state of mind. It’s the strive for self-sufficiency.” My friend Kody Hanner wrote a homestead curriculum that my family adores. It’s being used by homeschoolers, schools, and I know some adults who could benefit from the huge amount of information in her homestead curriculum. Kody joins us today to talk about her curriculum, how it came to be, the modern homestead movement, life-long learning, parenting, and so much more.  Kody has generously offered a discount code for listeners of Elevating Motherhood.
