***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

One thing I have noticed is how you lean in toward each other even when sitting and talking. I also love the "KevinandI" and 'SarahandI". It's as if you think of yourselves as one unit. Lots of strength in your relationship.
Yeah, I love that too! And Sarah is always looking over to Kevin in such an admirable way. 🥰
@@4mandysake And he looks at her the same way.
I totally agree here. They are a very unique team...two as ONE as God intended a couple in a marriage to be. Would be wonderful if all marriages could be so special & unique as theirs
Amazing video
Hi loren
hahaha! I want to see one of those pics of Kevin with that long hair!!!
he wears it well...there are pics on one or two of their older videos...look for the anniversary video.
@@mariannecormier3021 Thanks!
He was (and still is!) so good looking! He did wear the long hair well!!! 😉

Ha, we're more your parents age. My graduation class was 25, hers was 600. I met her when she was 17 and I was 20. We were going together when she graduated at 18. Later, while I was at my 1st duty station, I found out she'd had a crush on me since she was 14. She was visiting relatives in my little town when she saw me mowing our lawn. She told her mom, "There's my guy."
I'm sure glad one of us could see the future!
It's been better than I could ever imagine.
My husband and I live in Wisconsin,so we know exactly where you guys grew up. I've been watching your videos for a year and a half or so and now my husband has started watching with me. It's great to hear your positive attitudes. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hello,how are you doing my friend?
Sarah's smile and energy lights up the internet and Kevin's kind and calm demeanor is so relaxing. My wife and I really enjoy your channel. Prayers of blessings for your family.
"gettin dirty, fishing with you." And cut... to big smiles. some real memories there. Congrats on such a wonderful and blessed life.
I noticed that too! 😁
Sarah and Kevin, I SO look forward every single day to the POSITIVITY you radiate to those of us following you. I am not a farmer or a homesteader but you raise me up each day which is a good thing for anyone. Thank you! ❣️
Hello Elizabeth
Same here haha...in the middle of the big city but I just love the positivity and warmth they radiate.
It was fun hearing a bit more about how you met! Every story is unique. I grew up in Kansas, emigrated to Scotland, and met my Swiss husband while living in a castle... God has his ways of bringing us to the perfect partner, doesn't he!
Not me lol! My 1st husband was so abusive, beat me up for planting a small garden. He was jealous of it. Every man Ive dated has told me women are meant to cook & clean & not have dreams about things like getting a college degree or career with any meaning, because women arent smart enuf to do anything meaning except provide sex which leads to kids. I gave up trying to find the love I was looking for, a man who wanted to be a Team, no, it was always ALL ABOUT THEM. I did not let them hold me back and I became a Grid Designer; my name is all over Blue Prints of Americas Electrical Distribution Grid that are kept on file with the State of Calif. now I own many properties, traveled the world - Ive had a great life but it meant not getting more involved with men than an occasional date otherwise they turn into Stockers! Ive had to get more Restraining Orders in ny lifetime than most would in 50 lifetimes. WTH is wrong with men??!! Anyway- I am very happy for you!!!
@@Userxyz-z2d There are a lot of great men in the world, it sounds like you have a broken picker. I’m sorry you had such bad experiences with men, though.
Kansas! That's where we are! Have relatives in Norway but have never visited them. That while part of Europe looks interesting.
For sure Stephanie. From Kansas to Missouri, where I met my husband who was a first generation from Russia!
@@Userxyz-z2d You and me both I havnt had any luck with the opposite sex either.....good on women if you have, I have seen more married men cheat on their partners I have had a family member abuse me as a child my father was a bully and a womaniser which made my mother a nervous wreck, not everyone's lucky, I have been married 3 times and couldnt wait to get away from abuse, indifference and self centred men, perhaps we go for type, who knows.I am on my own and boy am I happy should have done it years ago, I can go where I want, spend what I want, buy what I want, etc etc...Hats of to the ladies that have found their man, my daughter did, so I must have done something right....
Thanks Kevin and Sarah ! I really enjoyed learning more about your life together... My husband, Dan and I have a lot in common with the two of you.. We are retired now and we have homesteaded all of our married lives (51 years) . Since we have been retired for about 7 years now....... (We are both in our late 60's, we were very young when we married.....) we gradually had to reduce our homestead... to just gardening now because of health issues.. the thing I miss most is my chickens... we still burn wood and can and freeze the food we grow... We enjoy watching your videos because we still enjoy the homesteading life and live vicariously through the two of you ! Our three daughters have given us 7 grandkids, and three great grandkids and three son in laws... and we have several pets . Now we feed the wildlife on our acreage ... and the wonderful birds !! In our meadow we have deer, foxes , rabbits, squirrels and more ... we both love to fish !! Take care and please continue sharing your life with us !!
Hello,how are you doing my friend?
This has been the best vlog, we have watched …..my best friend and husband and I have been together for 43 years
Please please more of these
Hanging out with you guys , priceless!
That was great. You lost me at pet rats though haha. Before I knew this information, I guessed that maybe Sara was in marketing, and Kevin in management. I was partly right with Kevin. And Sara, as my Dad used to say, you could sell ice to an Eskimo haha. God bless you both always. I hope Grace's transition to university is a smooth one, and that this summer together as a family of four will be a joy. Sending you love in Christ from Italy.
Thanks for sharing your journey into homesteading and always sharing valuable information we can use. This video made you feel more like “friends” not just random you tubers. 😍
Hello how are you doing my friend
I could waste hours in that field, just admiring the beautiful scenery.
Ha! Kevin and Sarah seldom waste time. I wish I was more like that.
Don't is it as wasted time ,I see it as time invested in myself and peace of mind. Just sit and see the sunrise,sunset and maybe a rainbow or two.✌️🙏🏼
Always love it when they roll the hay bales. They just cut and rolled here in Kansas last week or two. We're already cutting wheat too.
Not wasted, it's self care time, very important.
@@jbloom1981 ☺
Goodness, your lives are very close to mine and my husband’s! I’m in healthcare, he’s a government contractor, we fished as we dated too, still do. We are 53 and 55, been married for 32 years with two kids (a boy and a girl). We’ve been on our farm for 16 years. So here I sit on my porch cheering you on!!
Hi Tammy
Thank you so much for sharing your lives!! I LOVED it. Causes me to feel even closer to you. You’re such an awesome couple to begin with. So, knowing more about you is even nicer. ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️
Congrats to Grace! I went to a small rural school as well, I can't imagine having to walk with thousands of teens everyday! Sounds like a horror film.
Smaller schools don't mean a smaller education, it just means you won't slip through the cracks. Thanks for the video!
Kevin & Sarah, great video! Yes, do more of these. The videos where you are just being yourself and showing your personalities are my favorite! Sarah, I kind of miss seeing the videos of you taking your basket out to gather things in the wild. Have a wonderful day!
What a great story! You are the same age as my oldest child. I remember being 45, it was about 20 years ago. I wish i had the energy I had then. You have accomplished so much. God bless you and your family. It must be bitter sweet that Grace will be going to college.
Hi Amy
I can’t imagine how you must feel to sit in the middle of the field and look around with wonder at your new farm….❤️
Hi Anne
Wonderful hearing more about you two.Such a sweet couple.
What a fun video! So sweet that Sara had a ‘ crush’ on Kevin before they actually met. Never would have guessed the catfish date part. Thanks for sharing. 💕from Ky.
Hi Patricia
I made a cup of coffee, sat down in my living room, and was instantly transported to the Osarks.
You made us feel as though we were all just sitting around in your hayfield chatting with you; as though we were guests for the weekend.
Thanks for your willingness to let us in.
Take care, and God Bless.
ps. Love the "Ba Co N" T-Shirt
My husband and i are so glad we found a couple that is very similar to us and that are so in love as you guys are. It gives us hope that we will still be this blissfully in love (6 years and counting) when we have been married longer.
You guys are the cutest!!!! ☺️ You had us in complete mush bucket mode.
When a child gets ready to move onto the next chapter it’s tough, I know you’re both proud of her 💓 This was wonderful, love learning about you both 🥰
I so enjoyed this video. listening to talk about dating and your life now. Such a Blessing for each other. I live in the city, don't have clue about farm life, but guys make it sound so enjoyable, maybe not all the time. I was just telling my great grandchildren about you yesterday, the pigs and ducks . All the animals. How grow plants, and sell them. God Bless you both!!
Your such a breath of fresh air I look forward to a cup of coffee and sitting down and watching your journey!
Hello
I so admire you two & always look forward to a new video! Bless you!
I loved hearing about your lives, though I knew many things you spoke about. I'd listen to your stories again and again. I am hopeful that you share these kinds of things with us again!
I wonder how your folks are doing, are they happy with the move? How often does your brother (Kevin's) come to visit now that the folks live so close to you? I've also wondered if your barn kitty is still around. catching mice and living the good life.
Thank you for such an awesome peek into your lives. I just love you both so much!
I have gone back and watched all your videos. I really enjoyed seeing the girls on the early videos. Thanks for the update on them. I miss seeing them cooking and helping in the garden.
Well this was pretty interesting getting to know you better you have a lot in common i guess thats what make you two such an awesome couple 😃😃😃💖💯👍
Sarah & Kevin-Beautiful backdrop! Enjoyed learning more about the people on this Homestead! What a great story! Thank you❣️✝️🇺🇸💌
what an absolutely beautiful view!! your life’s story is so much like my husband’s and mine!! but i was sixteen and he was twenty when we met. we just celebrated our 42 anniversary on the 16th! thank you for being so gracious sharing your life’s lesson with us! here’s to many more!! 🍷
I really enjoyed this video. I feel like you're friends, and it's so nice to know you better! Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Hello,how are you doing my friend?
My Husband and I love your videos. It was nice "getting to know you" both. You two were genuinely mad for each other. Sarah never stops smiling!
Hi Susan
This was a fun video, time well spent. My wife and I are a little older then you to but, we have similar views and are just starting to rebuild a neglected farm in Tennessee. I can tell you that from watching your videos they are helping us rethink some things we thought we should do but, now see things from a different perspective. We have started to canning things too. Thanks and God bless.
My late husband & I used to go cat fishing all night long, too! Until our first child came along. The 3 of us still fished after that, but mostly bass & bluegill fishing during the day. Loved learning more about you guys.
That’s awesome that you may get a second cutting from your hay. I really enjoyed your video today and getting to know you both better!
Oh, I've also wondered about the ducks in the orchard mote and a water source for them. Do you have plans to provide one for them?
Funny, I got a BA in Psych too and my career was in HR - but when I was growing up I wanted to be a vet - this is really interesting to find out more about you two♥
It's hard to believe that I was retiring from the U.S. Air Force when you guys were graduating from High School. Man, how time flies ... so much water under the bridge since then! So what you are saying is that Kevin was being stalked for years ... lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Take care you two ... enjoyed the "fireside" (hayfield) talk.
I really enjoyed hearing about your lives. I think that you did a Q & I about yourselves right after I found your vlog. It was so personalized and real. Thanks for sharing
My grandparents used to go to the " largest air show in the world" in Oshkosh every summer. They were both EAA members and did a lot with operation thirst at the show. I have fond memories of several of those trips with them.
My husband and I went every year for about 10 years. We camped in one of the fields with about a gazillion others. It was such a blast!
I was their too along time ago. I remember being thrilled to see a plane called “Connie”……(my name) I had a great time their looking at all the planes.
Me too! My grandmother was in EAA and we would make the drive from SE Pennsylvania! Lots of really fun memories there, and while the air show was always phenomenal, what they had for the campers was pure summer magic
We used to go as well as our good friends to the Airshow, both my husband and our friends husband are private pilot's. Camping in the field with many others fun memories.
Both of my grandparents were private pilots. My grandpa built a small one seater plane called a "flybaby" they even had a grass runway right on the farm. People would stop by in their planes to say hello.
I’m older now but I’d love to get an ATV and drive around that land! Love you guys.
Good morning from Worcestershire England
This is for Sara- have you ever added any wild strawberries in when making jam? My mower died this year so the field/grass didn’t get cut yet at all and there’s wild strawberries everywhere 😜 they’re tart - just delicious BUT to make jam with only those would take forever to get enough for one batch of jam ... they won’t and don’t go to waste regardless- munching while walking the huskys then moving huskys away to get the patch before they eat them all 😁😄.
This was a fantastic video. It really is nice to have a glimpse of the folks I watch everyday. Thank you so much for being here and sharing your journey with us. I do not like to ask very many questions as everyone has different boundaries and can be upset if the wrong questions are asked. Y'all have a great mix of topics and activities so every video is fresh and interesting.
I love watching you two. Savor your time and love together. It passes so quickly. You remind me of what I had with when Ralph was alive. We depended on each other. We did lots of fishing too when we weren't in the garden getting ready for our little garden market at home.
You're blessed to have this type of relationship!
You have done a wonderful job setting up your homestead. I looks forward to coffee and your videos on Saturday mornings.
Essential key, you are both equally passionate about the same kind of life style and values. Whether in rural or city, really being that great marital “match” is everything 🥰🥰😊
Good morning. At this time of morning I'm guessing y'all are in the middle of morning chores. My husband and I love to watch y'all's videos.
I'd like to learn about y'all's faith. You've mentioned God before so I thought I'd ask about that.
Thanks for teaching us it's been great
What an interesting question. I'd like to know, too. Do you go to church on Sunday? Who is your favorite religious teacher? What does God do for you?
Oh my gosh, I really enjoyed this video. You 2 are so darn cute! I am so glad you decided to sit in the field and share your life. Thank you!
It was lovely hearing about you and your family. I would love to meet your dogs.
That was awesome!!! It's always good to know who we support! I loved it, you are two amazing folks! Love you both!❤️
Loved the video! Thanks for sharing your "back" story! I would like to see a duckling update and the arches you were creating over your chicken moat. Do the ducks need to get to a source of water for swimming? Thanks for all you do! Your channel keeps me dreaming!
Good video. Love the open field sitting. Picture from heaven. Count your many blessings. 🇺🇸
We grew up and live in Virginia, but fell in love with the north woods of Wisconsin. We now have a place in Butternut, WI
Hello how are you doing my friend
Have learned a lot from you about gardening and preserving and really enjoyed hearing more of your personal story. Maybe you could discuss how you work through the difficult moments of working together when angry with each other. I am fortunate enough to be married to my best friend and after 20 years of marriage our fights are rare, but we aren't working together all day, every day.
How did you come to your faith and to the place where you both cheerfully bless us at the end of each video with "God bless"? I would love to know more about that and what it means in your life. Loved hearing your story!
That's exactly what I was wondering. I love the positivity and obvious love of God. God bless you both!
Hello,how are you doing my friend?
Love you guys and enjoying and learning about you and the homestead life keep us interested. Be blessed my friend.
You always leave us with a blessing. I'd love to know about your faith and your religious beliefs.
Hello
Same here. I was thinking the same thing as this video was winding down.
I just loved opening this video and watching you walk across that gorgeous landscape. And then you sat down and I read HOPE can BA C ON. That there was my feel good moment of the day...still smiling! Thank you for years of quality content and for being who you are - not who you aren't. Much peace and joy to you.
Wonderful to “meet” you both! My RUclips friends 😊🥰
Hi Carol
I liked hearing about your life and how you were raised. Thank you for sharing!
When my husband and I were courting we used to go sea fishing at night . First time I went it was horizontal rain lol never put me off ! We have been married nearly 39 years now xxxx Loved this and how you manage to keep most of your life private xx
I learned a few new things today about you! Didn't know you were a vet tech. ( I was too, and sure comes in handy) Our first date was going trout fishing, kinda like you guys! Great way to get to know each other better! Keep up the good work, (homesteading and videos!) God Bless
Hello from Georgia
Hii
I went to UWM, UW and graduated from Washington University in St. Louis!!!! My husband and I were researchers also for the government. NASA. Missouri is a beautiful state. We loved it there.
How about a picture of the two of you from back in the day when Kevin had long hair !?! Really enjoyed today’s clog.
Their anniversary vlog has pics. Should be online still
I love your video setting in the middle of the field. Talking to us. Please do some more. God bless 🙏💙
I am fascinated by peoples journey in life and how they end up where they are and where they never expected to be. who would have thought early in life you would have lived in 4 different states and end up on a farm in Missouri. I see others commenting on the scenery. I do love the rolling hills behind you and at the same time a nice flat hay field. We have a lot of the same terrain here in the western part of Pennsylvania.
I lived in Gilbert, also, from 98-2012. I also taught in the GPS and the growth in that area was explosive. I taught at 3 different schools, as they built new buildings, and in spite of the growth, Gilbert was a great place to live and work. You made a good decision to move to MO. I have enjoyed your videos.
Hello,how are you doing my friend?
How awesome getting to know you both even more. Although it feels like we know you already. We have gleamed so much valuable information from your videos. So thankful you got a good cutting of hay, and hopefully more to come. Blessings to your family!
You are so very lucky to have found each other. I have a husband that hates this lifestyle and it definitely is a challenge. As we are getting older, it's getting harder to deal with. I love seeing you so fulfilled and successful. 💜
Whoa Sarah! You're making me feel old!! Lol I graduated from high school the year you were born! Man, time sure flies.
I graduated from university that year! Really feeling old......
I got married the year they were born! 😉
I enjoy watching your family! God Bless!🌻
I'm an Aussie and I have a few garden friends in Wisconsin. I love seeing the snow over there. Nice video, thank you for sharing :)
Hi how are you
I really enjoyed this video even though I knew some of what you shared today from your early videos. You are both such a pleasure to watch and your property gets more beautiful with every project you complete. I've been wondering how Kevin's parents are doing and will we get to see them in upcoming episodes? My favorites are whenever you're in the kitchen, whether you're cooking, baking or preserving food.
I’d like to know how you left corporate America and how you selected Missouri as your current home.
They began “homesteading” in Phoenix while they worked. Small lot.
They realized they were living in the rat race. They looked for a state and area that had good water and cheap land.
They bought that small slightly older sort of run down home in the middle of nowhere Missouri.
Their lifestyle is not about chasing money they bought a cheap place and made it work. That’s the secret plain and simple. It’s my dream too
You guys are great enjoy following you so much, I love it even more when the animals are involved love seeing them too
Loved hearing about your life! How’s Kevin s parents? Are they adjusting to the humidity? Thanks for all you share
Hello,how are you doing my friend?
Yes, do more videos like this...I'd love to see old pics of you guys...and hear stories, old or current. Mix it up if you want...I'LL WATCH❣❣❣
This was so nice to have you chat! So you mentioned on a different occasion you yard sale some. Maybe you could take us on one of your trips or farmers market? Also can you give a tore of your farms? we get bits and pieces but it is a little hard sometimes to picture it all together. Thank you for sharing, I will never homestead but enjoy what you do.
I LOVE YOUR T-SHIRTS!!!! Kevin is funny and Sara is loving
You two have such a wonderful story, you should boast about it more often. I love hearing about the more personal stuff. We subscribers feel like your family, so of course we eat this stuff up, lol! I find all of your videos interesting and uplifting. Keep 'em coming!
Hi Carol
Hello from a fellow Wisconsinite (kaukauna here)!! I enjoy watching your channel as often as I can!! I really appreciate how 'real' you guys are 💜
I love that T-shirt. BaCoN anytime!
Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. I've been watching you for a long time and Amy happy to learn more about you both, your family & your history.
I'd say that sitting in that hayfield you have a few snakes nearby. LOL
Sweet...
I figured there were chiggers
Doug and I have been married 45 years. We met at a play production at his church. My piano teachers invited me to her church on the way she told me her daughter had to quit a play to start a job and she asked me if I would consider playing her part. That’s how Doug and I met. We have 2 Daughters & 1 Son. We have owned our own business in 3 states; Colorado & California were well drilling, pump installation, plumbing and water treatment. Oklahoma we have a mobile home park with 14 rentals we own. Doug has designed & traveled to install water treatment and bottling systems in 3rd world countries and been construction superintendent in the states. I have always worked as office manager & HR manager, executive assistant to CEO’s. I’ve always had a garden and kids had 4H Rabbits, Sheep and Pigs. I started watching you because of your rabbit videos and still enjoy when you share about them. God bless You and yours.
Yes I enjoy hearing this sort of content once in a while. Thank you for sharing your life with your viewers. I am about to buy a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer thanks to selling my current homestead and I have already bought my next homestead home base. I have a lot of work ahead of me but looking forward to the adventure. I hope I'm moved to new home base in time to start getting in my fall garden. I look forward to more freeze drying videos too. I also am anxious to see how the sweet potatoes do in the greenhouse there at your place. I want to build a greenhouse on my new home base but all by myself it isn't easy. Do you know if the greenhouse company growers solution has an install option?
Hello
I enjoyed this session today. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and parts of your life with us. Yes it will be interesting to hear and see what's happening next.
Have a great weekend!!💕🙏
No fair! I wanted to talk about homesteading.
I have learned so many things from you both. I thank you for that. Enjoy watching y’all and have for a good while. My husband and I just got us a FD because we liked what y’all had to say about yours. God Bless and thank you again
Thank you, Sarah and Kevin, for sharing your backgrounds with us! I am really enjoying your channel and getting a peek into your lifestyle. My wife and I are preparing to retire and we plan to start doing some light homesteading ourselves, so your videos have been of particular interest to us.
Love watching you guys and I grew up in Neenah but spent most of my time in Oshkosh with my aunt and uncle. So nice to see what you have accomplished
Love this. It's nice getting too know y'all.
Hello, how are you my friend?
Love learning more about your family and your parents that are living with you all now.
Such a fun video! My hubby is 3 yrs older. So I have many “old” jokes 😂😂
I love your normal content, but I really loved this video. It's so nice to get to know you guys away from homesteading for a bit.
