Our ancestors didn’t raise their children on screens and the endless, mindless distractions found within - neither should we. Our children crave real experiences and real interactions with their parents. They NEED it to fully develop into the kinds of people our Goðin intend us to be. You may think hanging lights is a chore, but to this little guy hanging lights with dad is awesome! He got to show mom and dad how brave and capable he is by climbing the ladder to help out. This instills not only confidence and positive self-image, it’s also a great way to build memories and deepen family connections. We are told in the lore that children should be properly prepared for adulthood. This doesn’t have to be tedious - it can be fun. #strongfamilies #homesteadlifestyle #sedianhomestead #sedian #family #ritesofpassage #drengr #drengskaper

Momma and her babies. My wife had an intuition that our cat might be ready soon so she went ahead and got a box ready in the garage. Well, I got a pleasant surprise when I heard the tiniest little “mews” and saw 4 healthy, nursing kittens. Very cute, the kids will be excited.
