Updates and Summer Workshop Series 2022!!!

I am REALLY excited about this year's summer workshop series, because I've found a way to make it more accessible. So because of parking limitations, and consideration for my neighbors has in the past limited the number of in-person classes/workshops I can do at one time, in addition to me having a boatload of little … Continue reading Updates and Summer Workshop Series 2022!!!

Lessons from the Garden & Updates

My oldest and I did a few things outside this morning because gardening season is upon us, and because sometimes, the best education is conversation. The whole time, he talked with me, asking me questions about Scripture, and noticing things in nature and relating that to God-- it was amazing. We added woodchips around the … Continue reading Lessons from the Garden & Updates

Slow Progress

So I've been reading Growing Food God's Way by David Devine. It is a book unlike any other I've read. It's part biography, part gardening/Q&A, and evangelism throughout.

For … Continue reading Bringing in the Harvest

What is Back to Eden Gardening?

I was blessed in the midst of health crisis back in 2012 to encounter the "back to basics" trend. Because I wasn't alone in my prescription birth control instigated health issues, (infertility, low estrogen, high testosterone, intestinal permeability, malnutrition, anaphylactic food allergies, food sensitivity, hair loss, weight loss, tooth decay, etc.) There was a bit … Continue reading What is Back to Eden Gardening?

Homestead Update

Summer is winding down and autumn is just around the corner! I'm busy doing all sorts of things to make sure we are ready for the next transitional period in our home. Confession: I'm a big proponent of year round homeschool. But we didn't do that this year. Why? Honestly, everyone needed a break. It's … Continue reading Homestead Update
