New Roots
We’re a family chasing a different kind of American dream.
While traveling the country for work, we spend our weekends exploring historic towns, hidden gems, national landmarks, local restaurants, and small-town adventures. Along the way, we’re documenting our journey toward building our off-grid homestead in Utah.
From RV life and travel adventures to homesteading projects, homemaking skills, cooking, gardening, and learning new self-sufficient ways of life, this channel is about creating a meaningful life one step at a time.
Join us as we explore America, build our dream homestead, and share the lessons, successes, and occasional mistakes along the way.
New adventures every week

☕🍂 A little breakfast date in historic downtown Lebanon, Ohio!
This morning, we stopped by Broadway Bagel & Coffee House, and y’all… it was DELICIOUS! 😍
I had an Apple Pie Latte and an egg & cheese bagel, while hubby went with a Harvest Mocha and a blueberry walnut bagel.
Everything was absolutely delicious! From the coffee to the bagels, this little spot was such a treat. ❤️
One of our favorite things about traveling is discovering little local gems like this. Good food, great coffee, and getting to explore somewhere new together. It’s the simple moments that make this journey so special. 🌻
💬 Tell us! Are you a sweet bagel person or do you prefer something savory? And what's your go-to coffee order?

🌿 Steadfast Summer Sun Tea 🌿
One of my favorite things about homemaking is creating simple recipes from ingredients that have been enjoyed for generations. This herbal sun tea is bright, refreshing, and made with loose-leaf herbs that come together to create a beautiful ruby-red drink that’s perfect for summer.
The hibiscus brings its vibrant color and tart flavor, raspberry leaf adds a smooth, earthy balance, lemon balm offers a light citrus note, rose hips provide a touch of fruity tang, peppermint leaves a cool, refreshing finish, and the dried orange peel ties everything together with a subtle burst of citrus.
🌞 Steadfast Summer Sun Tea (½ Gallon)
🌺 1½ tbsp hibiscus
🍃 1½ tbsp raspberry leaf
🍋 1 tbsp lemon balm
🌹 ½ tbsp (1½ tsp) rose hips
🍊 ½ tbsp (1½ tsp) dried orange peel
🌿 ½ tbsp (1½ tsp) peppermint
💧 Fill with 64 oz (8 cups) filtered water
Directions:
• Add the herbs to a clean ½-gallon glass pitcher.
• Fill with filtered water.
• Steep in the sun for 2–4 hours (or cold brew overnight in the refrigerator).
• Strain, chill, and enjoy over ice!
“He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate—bringing forth food from the earth.” — Psalm 104:14
I hope this recipe inspires you to slow down, enjoy God’s creation, and make something simple and nourishing for your family. ❤️

For two and a half centuries, generations have worked, sacrificed, and dreamed to build the country we call home. While our journey hasn’t always been easy, today is a reminder to be grateful for the freedoms we enjoy, to honor those who came before us, and to look forward with hope to the future.
We hope your day is filled with family, friends, laughter, fireworks, and memories that will last a lifetime.
