Our goals for this blog.
So this will be my third blog I’ve started. I pray I can keep it going, and give something of value to anyone to decides to read this. This is my goal, or desire, or prayer. I want to become more dependent upon Jesus Christ, and be a strong follower of his word. To do that, I need to quit my job and stay home with my daughter, and be a manager of my home. I want to be more sufficient upon what we can make with our own two hands, or the hands of someone we know and trust. I want to love my family more, and be a…

Cleaning out our freezers | Making room for our pig!
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases We are getting a whole pig this winter so we are trying to clean out some freezer space. We aren’t going to buy another one since we have plenty of freezers and space. But I have tallow and bones taking up a large space that could be on a shelf in my basement. So I have been slowly but surely processing throughout the weeks. One of our freezers has a freezer max system in it, and let me tell you, it is one hundred percent worth. It. We have a half of a cow in our chest freezer and this is…

Busy Bread Baking Weekend!
My mom was here for the weekend and I love baking for her to bring food home so a busy bread baking weekend it was! (ok, not busy since most was hands off it just sounds better that way haha) and this was the first time I make her bread from freshly milled wheat berries! But the weather outside was frightful, ok, so it was very rainy and yucky and we didn’t get any of the snow promised so I made up for it by baking some bread with my momma. I’m trying to show her how hands off most of the bread items are, because she is very busy…

Summer Garden wrap up and what I learned the first year.
Ok, so I was very bad at writing these posts this summer but I finally got around to writing again and figuring out what I learned. But in my defense I was learning and it was very busy! I could have taken the time to get these written, but guys, the overstimulation (not the right word!) was real. Everything was so important to me, and I spend a lot of time probably where I didn’t need to, but being there was really good for me and it was my calm in my stressful days at work so if that’s what I needed, then that is what I needed! However, I…

Gardening Edit: Building Garden Beds
We have been so busy planning and building and filling beds in our backyard! We bought a third garden bed and an archway trellis to fit between them all. We also decided to have some regular beds in ground, and that took some prep work to get it (hopefully) ready. It took awhile to get to the beds due to life and weather, but we finally started on them this weekend and I am so ready for our plants to start sprouting! I also potted up some of my veggies into this four inch soil block. It wasn’t difficult, but it used a lot of soil! I used the recipe…

Gardening Edit: Entry 1 – Early Spring
OMG I am so excited for the upcoming growing season! You could say I wet my plants hahah. Ok, no. I am sorry for that. Anyways, in true Jacki style, I dove right in. While I know that we won’t have our vegetable garden to the size where it would provide all our veggies for the year, we have to start somewhere. So I am starting with what I know we love and use so much of. Here are the fruits and vegetables we are growing this year: These will keep up busy this summer! I am already have the tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers in soil blocks, I put them…
