Grocery Shopping
Grocery Shopping Can be overwhelming without a game plan! I have put this blog post together to hopefully help you shop! =) The grocery store can be a stressful, agonizing experience if you don’t have a good strategies in place before you get there! If you don’t have a plan of attack, you may be tempted to toss into your cart various items that may very well hinder your energy goals, cloud your focus, lower your self-confidence, make your jeans fit more tightly and your body feels sluggish.

Chicken Salad Wrap
Chicken Salad Wrap This month with The Recipe Redux Challenge June was to upgrade a traditional Sandwich Upgrades. I love chicken salad and this time I tried to switch it up a bit and used some horseradish leaves from our property. It turned out amazing. The horseradish leaves taste a lot like kale. I have never grown horseradish before it came up all on its own. The previous owners planted two different big patches of horseradish, I wasn’t sure what to with it besides make horseradish sauce so I went to one of the homesteading facebook groups I’m a member of for some ideas and a couple people suggested…

DIY After Sun Spray
DIY After Sun Spray! It’s summertime which means more outdoors time! Long hikes, camping, swimming, gardening and more. I love summertime but that also brings on more chance of getting sunburned. Which we all don’t want. In the case you do get burned you will love this spay. It’s soothing and calming. Recently, my daughter was at the neighbor’s house swimming and forgot to reapply sunscreen. So she came home a lobster! Poor baby! That evening I applied the Aloe I had but it hurt her for me to rub it in. So the next day I just whipped up a batch of this DIY skin soothing spray. See recipe below. The…

Building Our Raised Beds
Building Our Raised Beds Building Our Raised Beds was so much fun! Do you garden? I love gardening and love learning more and more each year. I am particularly excited for this year’s vegetable garden because it’s at our new house! We have decided to build raised beds because the location we want to plant our garden holds the water and is like a lake after a rain or snow storm. It would be too wet and would drown the garden if we just planted in the ground. I can not tell you how excited I am for my raised beds! I have been wanting to build them since we bought…

Hugelkultur: German-style Raised Garden Beds Since I now have 7 raised beds 5 of them are 8X4X2 and two of them are 4X4X2 which means they need a lot of fill. Check out how we built them here: In the past when we had raised beds we ordered a big load of soil. I have since learned so much about gardening. For the last 3/4 years, we have been lucky enough to be able to grow a large vegetable garden at my Father-in-Laws he has a beautiful piece of property. Hugelkultur is essentially making raised garden beds using wood logs as a base. The word Hugelkultur roughly translates to “hill culture.” The…
