I'm a firm believer that God gives you what you need, when you need it, and you just have to receive it. Today, we were given clear, 60°F weather; perfect for getting some of the outside work done. We had some pesky cedar trees between us and our neighbors that were harboring cedar apple rust. … Continue reading Outside Work
Homestead Update
Oh, goodness. I've been hard at work laying foundations for New year routines. My number one priority this year is my prayer life and relationship with God. I've been getting in the practice of waking up before the children (at least the youngest two- my 3 year old isn't much of a sleeper) to spend … Continue reading Homestead Update
Shaggy Maple Homestead Mugs!
Through partnering with Canva and Printful, we've been able to design our very own mugs! The first one to hit the Etsy shop is our SMH taste and see mug. Available in 11 and 15oz capacity I am SO excited! They'll go great with some of our loose-leaf back to Eden peppermint herbal tea!
No Harm in Farmin’: Shout Out!
I'm a dreamer. A dangerous pass time, I know. But, I started thinking... The other day, my 3 year old said, "What are you doing thinking!?" I think he meant what do you think you're doing, but the poignancy of his statement made me giggle... ...I started thinking, hey, wouldn't it be cool if I … Continue reading No Harm in Farmin’: Shout Out!
Happy Holidays and other Updates
My family and I had a spectacular Christmas holiday with my husband's parents and grandmother. I have to say, it was so nice to not have to pack up the whole crew and travel. Once Flynn is with us and (God willing) the dairy goats, I don't think picking up and heading out of state … Continue reading Happy Holidays and other Updates
Farmer’s Co-op Run and a New Addition to the Homestead
Whew. I am dog tired. I don't usually do errands on Thursdays, but since we didn't have church Wednesday, my routine is a little off. I had to trek into the city to pick up compost. We pick up organic veggie scraps from a chef who runs a "not-technically-vegan" cafe. We spoke today about increasing … Continue reading Farmer’s Co-op Run and a New Addition to the Homestead
A Little Holiday Cleaning and Updates
My kitchen... *Sigh* It's the most used room in the house and the least functional. Go figure that one out. I long for the day when we can finally afford the remodel. In the meantime, I am making do with a good pre-Christmas clean. I got the oven scrubbed out and ran a self-clean cycle … Continue reading A Little Holiday Cleaning and Updates
Gardening in December?!?
My most favorite thing is planting new plants and watching them grow. This usually makes for a bleak winter time because everything goes to sleep and doesn't wake from it's slumber until the spring. This is not true for my Back to Eden Garden. I have some sort of greens growing just about all year … Continue reading Gardening in December?!?
Crochet Hack
My toddlers love to play in my fiber crafting bag... I've even gone so far as to "hide" it under a side table in a difficult to reach area in our living room. No dice-- they still managed to get to it and rummage my blunt tipped needle and abandon it to the black abyss … Continue reading Crochet Hack
Electricity and Other Unfortunate Inventions
It's "joked" about amongst my husband's coworkers (our pastors and church staff) that we're all just one light bulb away from being Amish. I say "joked" because it's not far off from the truth. We don't have social media and, honestly, if I had my way, you'd all be reading this via handwritten newsletter. Unfortunately … Continue reading Electricity and Other Unfortunate Inventions
