Some traditions are intentional—birthday pancakes, holiday movie marathons, first-day-of-school pictures. Others sneak up on us, forming quietly over the years until one day, we stop and ask, Why do we always end up here on May 4th?

When I started my homestead journey, I wasn’t thinking about traditions. I was thinking about what I could do with this land, how I could make it work for our family. But over time, certain rhythms formed—little things we do every year, in the same season, without even planning it.

In today’s episode, Neva shares some of the unintentional traditions that have woven themselves into her life—things she never set out to do but have become part of the fabric of her family’s story. Maybe you have traditions like that too. The way you always eat the same meal on a certain day, or how you end up at the same place every summer. The things that feel like habits but, when you look closer, are actually something more—anchors in time, tying one year to the next.

What were the traditions you grew up with? What are the ones you’ve built now, whether intentionally or by accident? Maybe you’ve made more than you even realize.
