🌲 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.

Snowed in today!❄️ Alaska dumped about 18 inches on us so far!!!👏🏻👏🏻
Projects came to a stop, plans were canceled, and we were reminded how sweet it is to slow down.
These snow days won’t last forever, and neither does childhood. Grateful for the forced pause, the laughter, and the freedom to be fully present together.🤍

Joe & I were playing around and created this AI image of our barn—what it might look like once it’s finished.
Of course, some of the details will change, but this really captures the heart of the vision. Seeing it come together like this makes it feel so real, and honestly… it’s pretty emotional. 🤍
This has been a big project for just the two of us—long days, tired muscles, and a lot of problem-solving—but it’s the kind of work that’s deeply rewarding. We know every board, every decision, every bit of effort that will be poured into it by the time it’s complete.
Dreaming it, sketching it, and slowly building it with our own hands has been such a gift. This barn will serve our homestead in so many ways for years to come, and we’re truly grateful to share the journey with you. 🥰

Wow… I just finished reading through all of your comments on my previous post asking for your feedback on our video content and I’m honestly overwhelmed (in the best way).🤍
As the creator of our videos, it’s extremely helpful for me to feel the pulse of our viewers. What you like, what you don’t like. Everyone is different…so one could never accommodate all, but it gives me an overall idea of where we’re at as the HFA community!😊
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts, encouragement, and kind words. Hearing that you love the content just as it is — our family, our values, the pacing, the editing, and the everyday life we share — truly means more than I can put into words.
Your feedback confirmed exactly why we started this channel in the first place: to simply share our life as it is, week by week, and invite you along with us.
We’re so grateful for this community and excited to keep creating and sharing more with you as we head into 2026. Thank you for being here, supporting us, and making this space what it is.🤍 Tina-
