Well, my starter died 🤷🏻‍♀️ and I’ll have to start a new one this week because sourdough is life and wild yeast is sooo good for little {and big} guts and supporting good bacteria 🌿 I added the link in my bio! If you’ve never made or used a starter, it’s super easy and I bet you have everything you need to get it started today! Happy Sunday! . #hhfarmdiaries #homesteadingmama #homestead #fromscratch #sourdoughstarter #sourdough #homemade #homemadebread #guthealth #farmhouse #modernfarmhouse #oilymama

John’s best buddy Drew came over today, and when his Dad dropped him off John opened the door and said “My man, wassup?” 😂 Kids freaking rock. We got our Christmas tree up tonight, too! And as per usual, I stay out of it and the kids and Big John take charge of decor 🌲🕊❄️ What are your favorite decorating traditions? .⠀ #hhfarmdiaries #homesteadingmama #homestead #farmhouse #modernfarmhouse #countryliving

When the mother load hits your mailbox!! 🌿 Baker Creek 2019 Catalog got me like 👩🏻‍🌾 & this months Plant Based Box tho 📦 . So, this fall I made a list of a few things I wanted to accomplish over the winter. One was finishing our back yard/patio area (we’re close! 🤞🏼) and amongst the others was getting all of the toxins out of our home 🙅🏻‍♀️ . I knew I wanted a monthly delivery since I don’t get into town much and clean options are limited at our local stores. . But Imma be honest, I had no idea Youg Living had other things besides oils & Thieves! So when I started looking at their product line and realized that it checked pretty much all of our boxes for household and health needs...and they had Essential Rewards which lets you earn points back for each custom monthly order...and tons of free oils...and sign your spouse up under your account to earn on two household orders...it was a no brainer! . So here’s how it works - your starter kit IS your wholesale membership. How cool is that?! There’s no actual cost to be a member. 🙌🏻 . The kit is worth over $300, but costs only $160, and can be paid for using a PayPal for $27/6 months if necessary. Once you have your kit, your membership stays active as long as you spend ~$50/year. That’s it! 👌🏽 . But the best part is Essential Rewards, your custom monthly order that truly allows you to live a toxin-free lifestyle. It’s free to enroll, you only have to spend $50/month to stay active, you get points back to redeem for anything you choose with every order, and where it starts getting really good is when you spend at least $100/month and get lots of free oils! This really helps to build your natural med cabinet and experience the benefits of alllll. The. Plant. Oils 🌿🙌🏻 . Plus, when you spend $100/month you can participate in the compensation plan too! . I’ve been prepping my skin with no makeup whatsoever for over a week to switch to Savvy minerals!! Super excited to be able to slowly transform our home and life! 🌿 . #hhfarmdiaries #homestead #homesteadingmama #plantbased #farmhouse #bakercreekseeds #permaculture #organicgardening #gardening

The other day, I totally forgot I had four loaves of bread proofing in the oven and left them there overnight. Ruined. But bread is like $.30 a loaf to make. Honestly, stuff like that just doesn’t bother me. I pretty much live in my imagination and am constantly overflowing the sink, leaving food in the wrong places, and forgetting things. It drives my husband crazy. But that’s just who I be 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyway - bread can always be re-made! Whipping up a fresh batch today and getting some memories out of my head and into writing on the blog 🌿 . #hhfarmdiaries #homestead #homesteadingmama #farmhouse #fromscratch #homemade #freshbread #homesteadkitchen

PJs all day and soup by the fire and @lindseystirling playing and Cedarwood + Bergamot in the diffuser and nowhere to be 🌲 . #hhfarmdiaries #homestead #homesteadingmama #woodstove #farmhouse

So that unexpected snow ❄️ It only accumulated for about a mile radius right around our house. Right here in Hopewell. Drive just a bit in any direction and not a thing on the ground. Thanks for the extra Christmas sprinkle to Holy One ☝🏼 🌲 When we think about it like He does big things JUST for us. It seems true! And that...is because it is ✨ That special thing that’s going to happen in your life today my friend, it’s JUST for you, straight from Him⠀ .⠀ #hhfarmdiaries #homestead #homesteadingmama #farmhouse #snowyfarmhouse #farmhousechristmas #cottonstem #frontporch
