Acceptance of the loss of “what should have been”. That idea struck me right between the eyes like David’s stone. Those weren’t even the exact words my friend had used, but it was the gist of his story. We were sitting in the church fellowship hall before service, just like most of us did every […]

View DetailsWe got our subsciption box from DYPER! This box will last us 12 weeks since we cloth diaper 95% of the time. Ok. Let’s be real for a minute. I love my cloth diapers.

The garden has died down to just the few things in the greenhouse…and a greenhouse needs no weeding – HALLELUJAH! The kids […]
View DetailsA couple of years ago, I made a post about a few DIY mixes. I love having DIY mixes on hand for brownies and muffins. It saves a lot of money compared to the store. Plus, as our family has grown, we need several packs of muffin mix just for breakfast. It makes more sense […]
View DetailsI had limited plans to plant a late summer/fall garden. I pulled up onions and garlic several weeks ago. My idea was I’d throw down a few things in this smallish spot in August and call it good for the year. I know some farmsteaders go “all out” with multi-seasonal plantings, but that still seems […]

View DetailsI’ve struggled the last few years with trying to find a way to keep the house generally cleaned up with so many little kids running around. I spent most of the last few years going back and forth between “crazy cleaning lady” and “It’s not worth the effort”. I had a very hard time finding […]
