Happy new year folks! Welcome to the first Simple Homestead Blog Hop of the year. There’s been a few changes around here, as you might notice if you’ve been hopping with us for a while.

Our fearless leader, Kathi from Oak Hill Homestead, has taken a step back this year and will not be hosting the hop with us for the time being. Kathi has been an inspiration and leading light-guiding homesteaders and bloggers alike.

Be sure to visit her page and follow her on social to see what she’s up to!
