The Basic Homestead

New season new me.
Time to refocus and pivot.
Get ready for big things.

Have you planted your fall garden yet?

We have done cyberschool for 7 years.

Until earlier this year.
God spoke to us and now all of our kids are thriving in a way I never thought possible.

Most school systems are questionable at best these days... I was so worried that sending 5 out of my 6 kids to a brick and mortar school would be a bad choice.

So thankful I did! The teachers are amazing and the kids not as terrible as some places 🤪.

This little ham and I connected and made so many memories.

I am excited for the summer break to have my kiddos home...
But this picture will always remind me of these last few months of being a mom to just one for a few hours every day.

Simple and precious 💕

& they ship to YOUR doorstep FAST. Essentials in stock & not price gouged. No trips to Wal Mart or Target during the chaos, no accidentally buying a million extras, time saved, money saved, & perks galore as they spoil you to say thank you 🍃 Not to mention, safer & affordable. I’ve never been happier to shop somewhere for our home !

By the way, Method Cleaner is currently in a lawsuit over misleading about being a non toxic brand 💯

Would you be surprised if I told we only used our own tomatoes and peppers in this!?
Meat from our local butcher who sells grass-fed cow?

One day I hope to substitute canned beans and corn for our own back yard garden.

But for now I will celebrate the fruits of my labor knowing the vitamin content is better than what you buy at the store.

Meal prepping saves us time and money.
Growing our own food saves us money and health.

It didn't happen overnight.
This may just look like a sh*t ton of Chilli to you.
But
This is years of juggling pregnancy, kids, homeschooling, gardening.

Start some where. Get more self sufficient. It never hurts to learn more and save for your families future ❤

During this time of year we are busy. Planting and preping the garden spaces.

Being 6 months pregnant I have been spoiling the kids with meals out to eat. Excited for that to mean walking outside and picking our dinner instead of fast food!

Anyone else ready for fresh garden veggies on the table?
