Same problems, different interests.

You know a woman with too many Stanley cups but do you know a woman with a seed vault worthy of an apocalypse?

The goal isn’t to go backward. It’s to make sure we don’t forget how.

You don’t need another complicated hobby.

Homemade kombucha is simple.

• A homemade fermented drink that can replace soda and sugary drinks
• A source of live cultures
• A simple way to incorporate fermented foods and drinks into your day
• Something you can keep without starting a brand-new batch every week

Continuous brewing makes the whole process easy to maintain.

You don’t need to fuss with individual bottles, flavor combinations, or a second fermentation if you don’t want to.

Pour. Replenish your sweet tea. Keep brewing.

I think we make homemade things feel harder than they need to be. I’m all about finding simple systems that make doing more from scratch sustainable.

Want to try making your own?

The pandemic turned millennials into homesteaders

What if the life you keep wishing you had more time to enjoy is the very life you’re too busy maintaining to notice?

I think we spend so much of our lives doing the same little things over and over that we forget how much they matter.

And I think we should stop measuring the value of our days by how much we accomplished and start noticing what those days are actually made of.

Because one day, we’ll look back and realize that the life we were working so hard to maintain was the life we were building all along.

There’s a reason I don’t let my milk sit in the fridge for days.

One little system that makes a big difference around here. Less fridge space wasted, more fresh cream for all the things made from scratch.

We don’t need another grocery store run. A little creativity goes a long way. 🤎

Want to know my camping group’s favorite meal, every. single. time???

It’s not steak night. It’s not hot dog night. It’s the last night, when I take all the leftover meat and veggies from the weekend and turn them into fried rice!

Sometimes it’s hot dogs and corn. Sometimes it’s steak, chicken, and a whole pile of grilled veggies. Either way, it ends up being the best meal of the weekend.

Why? Because it’s about more than what’s in the pan. It’s the memories, the people around the table, and the creativity that goes into making something out of what we already have.

It’s a meal made with love, no matter what’s in it.

A good reminder that you don’t need a perfect plan or a fresh grocery haul to make something worth gathering around.

We ask the butcher for EVERY bone back.
If you raise your own beef, here’s why you should too.

Less waste of the animal you spent your hard earned money to raise and harvest.

The dogs love the bones.

You love the dogs.
