Sage Urban Homesteading has been around since 2011. Over the years I wrote about a lot of things: homeschooling, embroidery, and a few experiments that were more fun than practical.

These days the site focuses on small, low-maintenance urban homesteading systems for beginners. But I didn't want to delete the older articles. People still find them useful, so they all live here.

Some of these pages are older and may not be updated often. Take what helps and leave the rest.

Homeschooling

I've homeschooled my kids for more than ten years, and for a long time I wrote about it here. These articles cover the practical side of teaching at home.

You can find my products on Teachers Pay Teachers.

My newer homeschooling ideas now go on my YouTube channel, Calm Homeschool.

Skills

I like to try new things and learn different skills.

Food

Since I spend a lot of time growing food, I also spend a lot of time preparing it. 

Even more topics

A few experiments that didn't fit anywhere else. Some were more about curiosity than everyday usefulness, and that's okay.

Ready for something new?

If you want to make your home a little more self-sufficient without a farm, a big budget, or a whole new lifestyle, that's what this site is about now. Pick one small system, try it, and build from there. Go back to the homepage.
