• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• Keys to bulk buying, storage and learning to stretch grocery dollars.

  If, like us, you are preparing your long term pantry for whatever reason (weather, gas savings, economic future) you may be a tried and true veteran of this longstanding homestead traditon or you may be new at it and ready to take the plunge. Either way...

• 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...
