🌲 Hi, we’re Joe & Tina — high school sweethearts, married 26 years, parents to 3 amazing kids, and proud retired military veterans.

In 2022, we sold almost everything and traded city life for a slower, more intentional life in Alaska. What started as a leap of faith has become a full-on homestead journey rooted in family, faith, hard work, and freedom. We share real life on our Alaskan homestead — the wins, the struggles, and everything in between. You’ll find:

• Homesteading
• Building projects & DIY
• Homeschooling & family life
• From-scratch cooking & preserving
• Seasonal rhythms of life in Alaska
• Cozy vlogs & honest conversations

We believe in living as self-sufficiently as possible, working with our hands, raising our kids close to nature, and choosing a life that feels meaningful — not rushed. If you love simple living, homesteading, family-centered content, and life in Alaska, you’re in the right place.

We JUST hit 140,000 subscribers.🤩

I never imagined seeing that! It all started with Joe buying me my first camera back in 2018.🥹

At the time, I wasn’t starting a business or building a brand. I simply wanted to capture pieces of our life. Little moments that might otherwise be forgotten.

A project we were working on, homeschooling Parker, an adventure we were having, a lesson we were learning, or just an ordinary day together as a family.

Year after year, those little moments turned into a story.

You’ve watched us through some incredible highs and some heartbreaking lows. Through big dreams, unexpected setbacks, fresh starts, and seasons that tested us in ways we never saw coming.

You celebrated our victories, encouraged us through disappointments, and reminded us that there are still good people in this world.❤️❤️

What amazes me most isn’t the number itself—it’s that 140,000 people have chosen to be part of this journey with us.

In a world filled with endless content, you’ve spent your time with us, and that’s something I’ll never take for granted.

So today, I’m feeling incredibly grateful.

Thank you for watching. Thank you for supporting our family. Thank you for laughing with us, learning with us, and sometimes even crying with us.

Most of all, thank you for allowing us to share our little corner of Alaska with you.

We appreciate every one of you more than you know. ❤️

Here’s to the next chapter & many more!

Joe’s working on some landscaping today.

1) The rhubarb?! Out of control.😂

2) We have so many wild chives. They’re so pretty! Joe saved them & transplanted little clusters throughout the bed.

They remind me of something from the cartoon “Horton Hears a Who” with all their cute lil purple puff balls!😂

Love the pops of color all over the homestead! Most of which is natural…we didn’t plant any of it. Dandelions, wild roses, chives, lime green spruce tips.

Love this time of year.🥰 Tina-

I’ve been asked before why we don’t do more charity work. Why we don’t share God’s blessings with others & share that on our channel.

How do you know we don’t?

My answer is actually very simple:

✨Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

— Matthew 6:1

✨Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do…that they may be praised by others.

— Matthew 6:2

It’s enough for us that God knows. He is the only one that matters.🫶🏻 Tina

God’s painting again! 🤩🌈

A beautiful rainbow stretched across our homestead tonight, and I couldn’t help but stop and thank Him for this sweet reminder of His faithfulness & His promises.

In a world that’s upside down, where right is wrong & wrong is right, we choose to hold tightly to God’s promises and His Word. His truth never changes, and His covenant still stands.

Thank You, Lord, for this beautiful reminder tonight.💗

“Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
— Genesis 9:16
