All Good Things

This past week has been a good one… lots of homesteading and cooking from scratch. I’m honing in on what exactly I want my blog to look like and I’ve decided I’m going to start posting pictures as well. So bear with me as I figure out how to do that. I want the cute…

The Hard Days

While I want this blog to be fun with shared tips, recipes, and all things homeschool and homesteading… It’s also a place to be raw with my emotions and life. Today is my 46th birthday. There were definitely some high points! However there were also some low points and this is me thinking through the…

Enjoying the Life God Gave Me

As I sit here in the dark of night, on my 46th birthday, I’m pondering all of the great things that have become part of my life and how life isn’t anything like what I thought I wanted. Growing up we lived in shiny new houses and bought new things. I enjoyed this and when…

Adding Fermented Foods

Fermented foods… How many of you enjoy fermented foods? I think I can thank my mom and her German side for introducing me to ferments at a young age. Sauerkraut was a staple in our home, as well as liverwurst and many other tasty German treats. So when my Trim Healthy Mama coach told me…

Homeschool Resources

Some resources that I have stumbled upon that are invaluable to me now: Pam Barnhill and community! Pam Barnhill has so many great resources.

Steering Clear of Overwhelm

Are you like me? Do you have a hard time saying “no”? I suffer by not being able to say no… everything always sounds amazing and things I know I’d really enjoy. Then I find myself with too many things started … nothing is getting finished … and I’m FROZEN in a state of overwhelm.…

SO Good Roast

So I said I’d share recipes when I find good ones. This roast was so delicious that the whole family loved it and (this has never happened before) there wasn’t enough… all the kids wanted more. Since I’m on the Trim Healthy Mama plan, I modified the original recipe to meet my dietary needs, and…

Ingredients?

Today totally filled my cup! I had a friend come over and she was super excited to tell me about her homesteading and homeschooling journey! We talked about kids and potty training, adhd and what I’m doing for T to help, we worked together to clean up and reorganize some areas of my house… She’s…

GRACE

Grace. Monday, hubby and I came home from a weekend trip. I was angry and irritated at every little thing… EVERYTHING. I couldn’t figure out why… I’m always so laid back and easy going but Monday, very bipolar (which I have). Things just got worse and worse and eventually we made it home… I was…
