I know some of you may not garden (and to that I ask, why?) but I do believe wholeheartedly in the power of journaling. It's not just positivity journaling. Sometimes you need to get all that frustration out. Or you need to tell SOMEONE about your triumphs. For me, the garden journal is where all the garden frustrations, triumphs and everything in between goes. While journaling may not work for everyone, it does work for the vast majority of us. This is peak garden season for a lot of us. We are starting seeds, amending (or building) beds, and we are starting to break out of the doldrums of winter. What better way than to start journaling those experiences. So, I have a challenge for you. I want you to find a spare notebook (I know you have one laying around) and I want you to journal your garden for the next 3 months. You don't have to use my prompts. I just want you to write down all the things you are doing, your frustrations, your joys, and anything else you want to remember for next year. I'm going to give you access to my garden journal prompts for half off to do this challenge. Again, you don't have to use my prompts, I really just want you to work on your mental health and find sanctuary in the garden. Beta Testers NeededI am have been working on a Homesteading Journal Prompt and I need some beta testers to start testing these prompts. If you are interested, respond to this email so I can get you added to that prompt list! I'm only accepting 5 people at this time so make sure you sign up! |

Hey guys! I just wanted to check in and see how ya'lls August is going! I know a lot of people have kids back in school, the garden is wild and canning/ preservation season is chugging right along. Life is crazy and the blessing of overabundance may not seem much like a blessing. Trust me when I say, we are right there with you! I don't know how it's been in other parts of the country, but we had about 6wks of drought followed by about 3wks of straight rain. My tomatoes are toast. We tried to...
If you are one of the many new goat owners that are now struggling with how to care for your new baby, I'm here to help! When we purchased our goats, we were totally clueless. To the point that we had no idea that one of our goats was full of worms before we even brought him home! Hindsight is 20/20 and we should have known then, but we didn't. And our lack of knowledge cost us a our first baby. Since then, it has been my mission to learn everything that I could about these animals. And after...
Hey y'all, As I was getting to work in the greenhouse today, I was feeling inspired by a bunch of volunteer tomatoes in my soil. We are talking about 50 volunteer tomatoes. * I may have grabbed soil from an old tomato bed....ooops* Anyways, I wanted to share the bounty with you guys! I can't send everyone tiny baby tomato plants because the shipping alone would probably cripple us. BUT I can give you guys half off my entire store! **I need to add that this sale is only on my convert kit store...
