Simple Tips for a Healthier Home

Thankful for the little things here in the hollow.

Thankful for the little things here in the hollow. The memories we have made over the years and the memories we are currently making. The projects we have completed and those yet to be touched.
.
When my dad & my mom would visit the farm, my dad would say, “Maybe in thirty years, you will make a dent in your to-do list.” Well, his noble efforts during long visits, made a considerable dent in that list. I don’t think there is one room that he didn’t leave his unique mark in. 👏🏻
.
Seeing my dad’s health decline so drastically over the past five years, has been tough because for as long as I have known him, he stayed active & engaged. Sadly, his last days, he was unrecognizable. His condition left him unable to enjoy the lifestyle he once had with those he loved so much. 💔
.
I have been quiet over here, just living one day at a time with my family, knowing that it wouldn’t be long before we would have to say good bye to my sweet father.
.
It is with a heavy heart that I share that my father made his journey home four days ago. It still doesn’t seem real! 😔 BUT our hope is in the Lord & knowing that my dad chose Jesus in the end makes his heartbroken “little girl” overjoyed knowing that the BEST is yet to come for my father. 🤗
.
What a blessing to know that we will see each other again one day! 🙌🏻 Perhaps, he has been reunited with our Little Samuel already. ❤️

Thank you, Jesus for the gift of salvation! ❤️

And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

And just like that, summer is beginning to fade, as we get a taste of fall with these cooler mornings & chillier nights. 🤗
.
Water was scarce the last few months & we had to get creative with our off-grid homesteading skills. The Lord provided, as He always does & we walked away with more confidence for any future challenges we may encounter down the road. 👏🏻
.
I’m working on a blog post that shares how we made things work through several droughts this summer. 🥵
.
I’m curious for those of you who live in the cities 🏬 & suburbs, how do you prepare for dry summers or unexpected water supply issues? 👇🏻

Life on the homestead isn’t always easy. It take

Life on the homestead isn’t always easy. It takes a lot of hard work, sweat, tears, patience, & problem solving to just keep our heads above the water, most days. BUT days like these, remind us that it’s all worth it! 🤗
.
Never stop learning & growing! There’s always room for improvement. Life is a journey worth taking! 🖐🏻 So jump in with both feet.
.
Proverbs 16:9 (KJV)
A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

Finally unpacked and settled back in the hollow after being on the west coast for two weeks. 👏🏻 The kids and I had an awesome visit with my side of the family. 🤗
.
Now, it’s time to get back to business & get some work done around the farmhouse & farm in preparation for the upcoming fall 🍂 season.
.
The living room, family room, & our room got some deep cleaning after the hubby did some demolition in the laundry room while we were gone. 💪 All the bed linens got washed & beds remade.
.
Next on the deep cleaning list is the dining area off of our kitchen. I knew this $15 auction house crate find from months ago, would be a perfect addition to this simple table. It was our first new table in the first house we purchased together over 20 years ago. 😍
.
We eat every meal around this table and do crafts after our homeschool lessons here. We also use it for our science experiments, canning sessions, & sewing projects. Having a crate to corral all the things is a helpful way to still have something pretty, but practical.🖐🏻 It helps that our flower garden is still blooming & our hydrangeas we’re begging to be brought in. 😍

Moving this oldie, but goodie up for this 4th of J

Moving this oldie, but goodie up for this 4th of July! 🇺🇸
.
Local strawberries 🍓, fresh mint 🌱, homemade whipped cream, & Einkorn #sourdough biscuits on a sunny ☀️ day in the hollow. 🎉 I can press repeat on THIS all week long! 😉
.
So glad we can enjoy the taste of these delicious strawberries 🍓 even after the strawberry season has ended.
.
If canning intimidates you or you are new to canning, I shared some of my back to basics canning tips over on the blog in our Back to Basics series. Preserving our own food is so rewarding. 🖐🏻 Thankful for those pioneers in the past that considered the future and paved the way for the freedom and liberty that we still enjoy today here in the USA. 🇺🇸
.
Hope you have a blessed & safe Independence Day! 🇺🇸

Happy first day of summer! 🖐🏻 The temps here

Happy first day of summer! 🖐🏻 The temps here in TN have been record breaking highs. 🥵 So, we have been spending more of our days outdoors, soaking up the sunshine & sweating out the toxins on the courts, in the garden, & in the pastures with our growing herd. 👏🏻 We just added Whitney’s Willow & Big Jake couldn’t be more excited to now have three other play mates. 😉
.
I’m currently working on something special to share for next week over on our YouTube channel. I hope you’ll stop on by & say “Hi!”

No matter what season of life or journey you are o

No matter what season of life or journey you are on, hard work is required to achieve any worthy goal. I never thought I would be a hobby farmer’s wife. 😜 I was born & raised in & around the city. 🏢 When I was a teen, I told my dad that I was not a farmer, when he asked me to water the outdoor plants. Now, look at our garden. 👩‍🌾
.
When I originally stepped into the world at 18 🌎, I was CLUELESS! But thankfully, I didn’t let my ignorance or lack of training (I’m the baby of the family) stop me from growing & learning new skills in time. 🎉
.
When we leap in with both feet & trust that God’s plans are better than anything we could think up, things that used to feel intimidating aren’t so scary anymore.
.
For my upcoming birthday, this morning I ran a 5k race. 🏃‍♀️ I have a HUGE milestone birthday 🎂 coming this week! I knew I wasn’t going to break any records, but simply pushing myself to run the whole race without stopping was an amazing encouragement to me. It was definitely nowhere near my times in the military, but it’s a start. 😢Out of 429 runners, I ranked 144. And out of 249 women, I came in 59. 👏🏻 It was a great way to jump into the new birthday year! 🥳
.
What’s an area in your life that you weren’t too sure about at first, but when you jumped in, were so glad you did?!👇🏻
.
Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
