You are a huge encouragement!

At least I’m assuming if you made it to this page, you’ve spent a few minutes on my blog, and I’m grateful.

It might be that you would like some insight into making backyard maple syrup. Or maybe you happened upon my website looking for a little insight into what homesteading looks like for one family in a tiny corner of New England in the 21st century. Or what live is like daily living in a 200-year-old farmhouse. Maybe you just love a good old-fashioned recipe every once a while. Maybe you’re considering trying to raise chicken and wanted to glean some information from all my mistakes as a newbie homesteader.

Thanks for lingering

Whatever the reason you discovered SoulyRested, I’m glad you did. If you enjoy the resources I offer and the insights you encounter on SoulyRested, you may be interested in knowing you can support my little efforts in lots of effortless ways.

How you can help


. . .  By shopping (crazy huh?). . . .


You can do your Amazon shopping through my link. It won’t cost you anything extra, but I’ll get a tiny commission for sending you there.  Bookmark this support page, and click through the link below before you order. Easy Peasy.

To add this support page as a bookmark to your toolbar,  press Control + D (or Command + D on Mac).  Name it something like “Amazon – SoulyRested” and select “bookmarks bar” as the folder.  Click “Done.”  It should appear on the toolbar just below the web address at the top of your browser.

Then, anytime you need to purchase something on Amazon, come to this page first and click through the Amazon logo below.  It’s a simple no-cost way to support our little farm and sugarbush while buying things you would be buying anyway.

(Amazon won’t let you just bookmark the link directly to Amazon; you do have to come to this page first and click through.)
