About Us on our Homestead

Welcome to the Longstead! We are looking forward to sharing our experiences with you as we start a 5-acre homestead in Oklahoma.

At our house we believe in living for the Lord, loving our family and learning new things. We are not experts, but we love to learn. We should never reach a point in our lives where we think we know it all. There is always something new to learn or a better way to do something that will make us that much better. We want to share things we have learned and bring you along as we continue to learn and improve.

Waiting for the Homestead

Currently, we are in a season of waiting. We are selling our city home and buying a little 5-acre plot of land. Where we can build our very own homestead! It will take us some time to get the land ready for building. But we are very excited to share this adventure with you as we learn all the ins and outs of starting a homestead.

Our History

Zarick and I have been married since we were 21 years old. Zarick works at a local hospital as a radiographer, and I stay home to care for our 4 children and try to keep things running smoothly. One of my biggest priorities is homeschooling my children and bringing them up in the admonition of the Lord.

I grew up in a military family and had the privilege of being homeschooled. I am so grateful for the education I received from my parents. It has always been a desire of mine to give my children the same benefits that homeschooling provides.

We love the Lord and desire to live every day in service to Him. The work of a homemaker can sometimes feel pointless or mundane, but it is some of the best work we can do.
