I was a theatre major in college... As such, I studied not only acting and music performance, but also scenic design and set construction. I walked away with a degree that has gotten me precisely 0 jobs in that field, and a host of practical knowledge in the realm of set building, painting, design and … Continue reading Adventures in Interior Design
Back to Eden Garden Preparation
I'm a huge proponent of Back to Eden Gardening. 1) It works 2) I don't own a tiller, so amending the soil without tilling is a time and money saver 3) It is low maintenance, long term 4) It's higher yield than your typical row gardening, and higher nutrition in your produce 5) It doesn't … Continue reading Back to Eden Garden Preparation
Deep Mulching and Compost
It's that time! I'm already thinking about next spring and all the things I have to get done and prepared for our garden next year. The idea of preparing a garden large enough for my family to live off the land for an entire year is beyond a little daunting. But over the last 3 … Continue reading Deep Mulching and Compost
Freedom Envy
This post makes me a bad person... Fortunately I have a good friend who pulled me back into reality. I woke up this morning for the third time around 6:00AM... not for another pregnancy bathroom break, but because my son was awake. As we are still in our temporary living situation, I opted to console … Continue reading Freedom Envy
My Firm Foundation
"Jesus you're my firm foundation. I know I can stand secure. Jesus, you're my firm foundation. I put my trust in Your Holy Word..." We're almost through this trial of temporary homelessness. We signed the papers for closing Friday! We have our homestead! I walked the property with my son yesterday and my eyes welled … Continue reading My Firm Foundation
Gypsies
Crashing in our worship pastor's basement isn't exactly my ideal living situation. It's been over a week and we still have no concrete timeline pertaining to our occupancy/closing on our new place. We are in between homes; wanderers, strangers, nomads. Like the Romani people (minus the fortune telling) who lived as wanderers making a living … Continue reading Gypsies
It Is Well
http://vevo.ly/aLpzul From the outside of our situation, one would think it is horrible. And that's understandable. I have a hard time making sense of things myself- we pay all our bills, my husband has a good job, we pray over every decision before we act, and yet somehow, in spite of all those things, we … Continue reading It Is Well
A Word from Jones Soda
(#notsponsored) So... Energy will abound next month, eh? I certainly hope so as I'm nearing the third trimester of this pregnancy and I'm practically running on empty. That's not true, I'm running on Kroger peanut butter, Jones Soda and prenatal vitamins. I've been watching a food storage challenge series of videos on YouTube as I … Continue reading A Word from Jones Soda
A Baby Gerkin
I love how God works in my life, so I feel it only appropriate to celebrate clear answers to prayers. Story time! This, I suppose, is a follow-up to my post "A Pickle" as it seems the issue has been shrunken down a bit. We are in the midst of some uncertainty as far as … Continue reading A Baby Gerkin
Sunchokes Abound!
My number one take away from the whole experience is to lay down a cover on your soil
Wholly Holy Living
