I’ve been spending more time offline this month to refresh and recharge my creativity and I feel like it’s helped tremendously. I have lots of fresh new content ideas I can’t wait to share with you, starting with this tasty post on how to create an Italian Charcuterie board that’s perfect for summer meals.
Have you been enjoying the crisp fall air this week? I sure have, even though that meant covering my plants and bringing in my herbs a little sooner than I normally do. It’s all part of the growing cycle here on our little homeplace. Notice, I call it “homeplace” not “homestead”, so why am I reviewing a book all about starting a homestead? Because I felt it was time for me to understand what it takes to set up a homestead and if it’s right for us. Do you have questions about homesteading? Read on to see if this book can help.
Summer is officially here and you may be looking for a low/no-tech activity for you or your kids. Why not try your hand at sewing? I learned the basics of sewing during a semester in Home Economics and from my Mom, but I am by no means a seamstress. I happily said yes when I was asked if I’d like to review The Ultimate Illustrated Guide to Sewing Clothes by Joi Mahon because I'd like to learn to sew.
This book is a complete course on making one-of-a-kind clothing and I’m excited to share this first step in advancing my sewing capabilities.
Happy Friday and happy Spring friends! Are you excited to welcome in the season of growth, hope and renewal? I always look forward to spring and have been dreaming of all the flowers and herbs I’d plant this year, but at the end of the growing season last year, I knew I needed to find a better and easier way to keep the weeds from taking over and turning my gardening time into such a chore. Like a beacon of hope, I received a book called The Regenerative Garden, which has 80 DIY permaculture projects for the home garden and the biggie for me is a way to reduce weeding! Read on to learn more and to enter the giveaway to win a copy of the book!
We’ve finally made it to the end of January, and we can
officially start the countdown to spring! With only 48 days of winter left,
it’s time for us to start planning our gardens, which is one of my favorite
winter activities. If you’ve read my blog or social media posts, you know I
love flowers. I’m a cottage garden girl all the way! I lost a few plants last
year including one of my oldest Peonies to some sort of infestation, so this
book Attracting Beneficial Bugs to your Garden has come at a perfect time for
me. I’ve been studying it on chilly winter nights and taking notes during my
lunch breaks to better prepare myself for the gardening year ahead. Read on to
learn more about gardening bugs (the good and the bad) and enter to win our
first giveaway of the year!
