A New Season for Lion Soul Homestead

A New Season for Lion Soul Homestead - New Chapter

🫠 Life has been a little chaotic lately, and if you’ve noticed I’ve been quiet… you’re right.

I’ve been working a job that pulled me away from

my family, my homestead dreams, and honestly, myself.

The schedule had me sleeping when my family was awake and awake when they were gone,

and it took a toll on all of us.

But things shifted fast. I’m no longer at that job, and even though that came with its own stress,

it also opened a door I’ve been needing for a long time.

Right now, my life looks a little different

than the typical “homestead” feed — no big garden, no livestock updates, no daily farm chores.

But the homesteader heart doesn’t disappear just because the season changes.

Here’s what I’m focused on right now:

🍂 Getting back into fall gardening (maybe late, maybe not — we’ll see).

🦁 Rebuilding Lion Soul Homestead from the ground up.

📑 Creating digital products and content that actually help people.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Working from home so I can be present with my family again.

💆‍♀️ Taking care of myself after a rough season.

🌱 This is a fresh start, not a reset.

And I’m excited to bring you along as I rebuild, learn, and grow — one step at a time.

Let’s grow together.

Pros and Cons of raising Meat Goats and Dairy Goats

Hello and Welcome to Lion Soul Homestead's Blog: Photo by Vladimir Srajber: https://www.pexels.com/photo/goat-herd-grazing-in-croatian-countryside-34075170/ Today, I'd like to dive into the pros and cons of raising Goats for Meat vs. dairy, or potentially both. Photo by Andreas Ebner: https://www.pexels.com/photo/goat-standing-in-a-field-14688313/ Meat Goats: Pros Generally, they are more capable than dairy goats at birthing and raising their babies without assistance. Some meat goats, like Boers, can be roughly 200lbs, give or take. That's a pretty good return on investment, even if feeding store-bought feed. Males are, of course, larger and usually the ones used for meat. If you tend to get more males, you get more meat per year. Meat breeds tend to have fewer issues in general, such as needing hoof trimming, deworming, other illnesses, or diseases. *Always test for issues regularly to make sure they do not need treatments such as deworming* ~ Just because th...

Let’s Set Homesteading Goals for 2025! Photo by Pixabay: https://www.pexels.com/photo/dirt-path-leading-to-house-under-clear-day-sky-461755/ As some of you already know, I love talking about homesteading and all the amazing topics that come with it! For us, this year looks very different because we traded our 2-acre homestead for a motorhome and relocated back to Louisiana. Interestingly, we’re now in the same area where we lived in 2018, right before the pandemic hit. Although we’re currently in an RV park, my homesteading dreams are still alive and well. There’s a community garden here, and we’re excited to contribute and grow what we can. While we can’t have livestock like rabbits here (and certainly can’t process them), I plan to explore indoor gardening with herbs, small flowers, and air plants. We’re also considering 4-H for our kids, provided we can find a place to house their rabbits nearby. In the long term, I’ve been researching farming loan programs to help us establish...
