Hey Y'all! Welcome to Freedom Acres! I'm Amanda.
I'm the single mom of a beautiful toddler, my Sunshine. Together we're growing as much food as we can on my parents 4 country acres. It's not easy to produce much of our food, cook from scratch, preserve for winter, and save for my own home with a toddler on my hip.. But I'm doing it!
Along with my entrepreneur aspirations, growing food affords me the luxury of staying home with my daughter. With determination and hard work, I'm finding I can do MUCH more than society has told me I could.
All I've wanted to be since childhood is a stay at home mother. I refuse to let that dream die just because my life didn't go according to 'the plan'. Instead I'm trying new things, keeping my expenses low, and making money in unconventional ways.
I don't believe any single parent should have to put their child in daycare because of financial stress. We need MORE parental involvement today than ever. The only realistic alternative to the time clock is entrepreneurship. If my life can inspire ONE other mom to live the life she dreams of, it's certainly worth sharing! :)

Welcome to Steemit Amanda! You are so cute! :) I am a new homesteader, I am looking forward to learning about your unconventional ways to earn money (outside of Steemit. Haha)! I am loving it here on Steemit. If you have any questions, hit me up! I'm still pretty new but I've learned some things here and there. ;)
Thank you! :D I'm also on YouTube. I am planning to talk more about my income there soon. I'll be sure to bring over a link when I do! ;)
I hope you do some posts here with type, in not much of a video watcher. I'll be sure to follow!
ugh, I missed your steemit debut! Oh well, welcome!!
Well... There will be plenty more to come! Just as soon as I can get my head wrapped around this thing! AND the time to actually sit and type! ;) Thanks for being here Blake!
I've been subscribed on YouTube for a long time, and I just joined Steemit also. In fact, I got my very first curation award yesterday because I upvoted this introduction. So thanks, you are wonderful and great at telling the stories of your experiences. Best of luck here, and that other video site also :)
Thanks! :D I really appreciate your saying so!!

I admire you so much Amanda, God bless you❤
Glad to see you here, I just started on here also but I do follow you on youtube and was wondering what happened to you as i have not seen anything from you this week.
I wasn't feeling too well for a few days. I'm playing catch up now and will have a new video out in the morning! :D Thanks for your support!
We have two open video "collabs" going on right now. One for a family that lives up the road from us. Heal My Hannah Collaboration and we also have an open "Homeschooling on the Homestead" collab! Please feel free to join in whenever there aren't any deadlines! hehe~TexasMom
Awesome! Does it count that I'm 'homeschooling' a toddler?! Thanks so much for the invite! <3
Awesome! You Rock! Following! :)
Thank you! :D
Hello! Welcome. I just followed you
Thank you! :D
I think you have achieved your goal of inspiring a mom already - I have certainly been inspired by you on youtube and am so happy to find you here too. I agree wholeheartedly that we need more parental involvement.
Looking forward to follow your journey here on Steemit too :)
.Welcome to STEEMIT @freedomacres. I am looking forward to following your story. I am growing as much food as I can, learning to be self sufficient, preserving food almost every day, and enjoying retirement (but I'm busier than I ever was when I worked away from my home). Keep up the good work.
Welcome to Steemit!
I've just joined this platform myself, and can't wait to see how it develops :) Good luck on your journey!
Welcome to steemit! I think that's awesome that you are able to stay home with your child. Look forward to seeing what those 4 access produce.
Welcome to Steemit! Full STEEM ahead :D
@freedomacres Hey girl, would love to see some more from you. Your Instagram pics look wonderful.
Hey, welcome to Steemit, fellow homesteader/gardener! I also subscribe to you on YouTube! Once you get over the hump of the Steemit Learning Curve, you'll find this is a wonderful place to share ideas, learn from people and make friends with like-minded individuals.
Here are just a few tips that others shared with me when I first joined here:
I also want to invite you to the SteemitHomesteaders slack community. It is a chat room/group of sorts where a lot of us Steemit Homesteaders hang out to chat, ask questions, and just get to know each other more. You don't have to be a homesteader to join. Anyone into homesteading, gardening, farming, prepping, and such is more than welcome. Here's a link to my announcement post with a little more details about slack and the group as a whole.

See you around!
We need more posts from Amanda!!!
I'm super excited that I found you! I just made my account and I am so glad to have found most of the YouTube homesteading community in your comments here! Can't wait to get your great content!
