• A tip to 'thinking like a homesteader.'

  Well, weather you care to learn these tips because you dream of 'Little House on the Prairie Days' or you just want to stretch the dollars you have, a homesteader's mind works a little differently than most. One main thing is to look at any...

• 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. Many people are overcoming the limits in which they live (financial, spacial, educational,etc) to find ways to improve their lives on a deeper...

• Nation wide peanut butter recall - homesteading mindset solution

  In case you haven't read/heard there is a huge peanut butter recall (yes, again) across the nation. It is affecting everything from the stuff itself to ice cream and candy bars that peanut butter is in - I mean EVERYTHING is getting the FDA warning...

• Organize: The effects on the spirit

  Life on the homestead (at least on ours) can be first riddled with chores (mind you it's not a complaint) and distractions (okay that one is a complaint) to the point that we can sometimes feel that our heads are spinning from the 'to do'...

• 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...

• Saving pennies does add up

  Plastic baggies. Aluminum foil. 25# -50# Grain bags Mulit purpose uses for things like a dehydrator. Cheap storage for pots/pans/lids. One grain used many ways. All these (and more as my mind works) are multi-use topics that help me save pennies around...

• *cough*cough*wheeze*wheeze* finding the relief in teas.....

  Oh well...I'm trying..... You know the old Alka-Seltzer jingle.....that was a poor play on it...... Anyway, I have been out of sorts for a few days and it got me to thinking (now that the head-fog has lifted) that there is a certain mentality to sickness...

• Really, this mindset can be anywhere...

  It's kind of funny, but we have been living a 'homestead' style life for years. We even lived somewhat like that in FL and CA suburbs. Now, granted, while in CA, hubby was making more money than, well, sadly more than we knew what to do with...

• A 'word play' trick to learning to be content.

  It is one of my life's goals to balance contentment with a good healthy drive to succeed. That is kind of a tricky teeter-totter to be on, isn't it? Well, it seems that to do either one well (be content and strive to succeed) it would help to...
