• Overwhelmed by learning about long term food storage? Relax, here's a plan.

  I know how you feel. Just take a deep breathe and compartmentalize.....it can be very overwhelming at first. That's one reason I found the easy open buckets for my home were because people were telling me that for a year's supply I had to vacuum...

• Homesteading on a porch

  I always love to hear the trials and triumps of others who have that same pioneering spirit of a homesteader.

• More about my single New Year's Resolution - Organize: it will keep us healthy

  As I mentioned last entry, I wanted to take note at how my one and only New Year's Resolution effected us in the area of health. Well, organizing things around this homestead has definitely paid off on the health side already. I'm down 4 pounds...

• My Only New Year's Resolution - Organize: it saves money

  Whether you live in a small apartment or in a mansion on a one hundred acre spread of land, organizing is one of the top resolutions for the New Year for many people.

• Making gifts and decorations for the Holidays

  This year, we are doing as we have often done as we have trimmed our budget to the bone; we are making most of the gifts and decorations. This is not a new thing for our family. It actually began years before the kids were born, but has become a tradition...

• Left Over Turkey Ideas!

  We had two turkeys for Thanksgiving. Somehow we anticipated a hoard of guest that just never seemed to show up so now we are over loaded with turkey. We have a left over smoked turkey and a regular one. There should be an award for how many dishes you...

• Preparing the 6-8 month pantry.

  My last post was hoping to see how very far I could stretch my $115 in groceries for our family of five (all adult eaters). This fun frugal challenge, however, came to an abrupt end when my husband took us on a switch in direction. We are now re-stocking...
