16:23

This heat wave has made me appreciate being inside again. I have many projects that were left neglected as I abandoned them for the lust of garden season.

Ep 49. Rating My Best Sustainable Swaps 4 Years Later 19:39

16d ago19:39

19:39

Sustainable products aren't as "hot" as they used to be. I think people caught on that you should use what you have before buying new! That's definitely the homesteader mentality that I try to get myself into every day. But I have certainly purchased my fair share of sustainable products. Let's look at an old blog post to see if I still love these …

Ep 47. How I am Living Slow this Summer Even Though I am Bad at Slow Living 21:17

23d ago21:17

21:17

Many people desire to live a homestead life when they desire slow living. Slow living can bring us to what is most important. It can allow us to savor the short time we have with our children. It can calm our nervous systems in this busy world. I think many of us desire slow living, but many (including me) are not the best at it. We live in a moder…

Ep 42. The Pressure to Plant a Native Garden 18:32

Instagram can be a great source of garden inspiration, but also pressure! While growing native is WILDLY important (see what I did there), I don't think we need to feel bad about not doing it perfectly. Some things simply make us happy.

Oof! Regret is hard and hearing, "I told you so" is a hard pill to swallow.
