I can hardly believe I’m typing these words…

National Homesteader's Day is officially LIVE on National Day Calendar. ❤️

What began as a simple dream at Preppin Mama—to help preserve practical skills, strengthen families, and reconnect communities—has become an officially recognized National Day celebrated every August 15.

This was never about creating another holiday.

It’s about creating a reason to gather around the table.
To learn from one another.
To preserve what matters.
To pass something meaningful to the next generation before it’s forgotten.

Whether you live on an acreage, in town, or in an apartment…

Homesteading isn’t a place—it’s a mindset.

Thank you to every person who believed in this vision, encouraged us, shared our posts, taught a class, demonstrated a skill, prayed for this mission, or simply cheered us on.

Today feels like the beginning of something much bigger than us.

Here’s to reclaiming one lost skill at a time.

🏡 August 15
❤️ Join the movement.
