About Rocky Mountain Homestead

Hi, I’m Angela.

I’m a mom of eight, homeschool teacher, small farm caretaker, and a Lieutenant with our local fire department living in the Rocky Mountains.

Life here is full, busy, and beautifully imperfect.

For many years I stayed home raising our growing family and homeschooling our children while building our small homestead. Our days are filled with garden harvests (during our short growing season), preserving food, raising animals, and teaching our kids the value of hard work and simple living.

In 2023, after more than a decade of motherhood and homesteading, i stepped into something I had quietly dreamed about since I was a teen – becoming a firefighter.

This space is where I share the real rhythms of our life:

•from scratch recipes

•canning and preserving

•homestead projects

•homeschooling a large family

•balancing motherhood, service, and rural living

If you’re a busy mom trying to do a lot of things well, you’re in the right place.
