And it felt so good! 🥳

We were humrgaing money when it came to buying groceries. The prices kept going up and we were struggling to keep up.
​
We decided to make THREE big shifts.

1. We started a garden.
2. We STOPPED buying processed foods!!
3. Learned how to Cook from Scratch with whole ingredients!!!

The best part about Cooking from Scratch is our health improved because we got rid of the processed food. It’s not just about the saving momey, it’s about the improving our health.

Here’s exactly what I’d do in the next 4 weeks👇🏼

Sourdough doesn’t have to be complicated and you don’t have to have any fancy tools!!

It’s not too late to start your sourdough journey.

I know, because after months of struggling and failing, I started my SUCCESSFUL sourdough journey in May. By April, I had a healthy sourdough starter and was making amazing bread.

So I’m telling you, it CAN be done. You just have to know the right things to focus on.

And that would be creating a healthy sourdough starter!!

Pretty simple right?

It is if you have my Fail Proof Sourdough Starter Method!! And the best part is... it’s FREE!!

I wish more gardeners understood this⬇️

I remember being a kid and watching my mom and grandparents plant and tend their garden. Each year they would work so hard and get a very small harvest. When I started gardening my outcome was the same until...

The solution is so simple, and yet no one told me. Everyone says to fertilize.

But what you really need is nutriant rich SOIL!!

Soil is the solo food source for your garden. If it is lacking any nutrients your plants will suffer.

And now I won’t stop talking about it!

Comment SWAPS and I’ll send you all my favorite mixes and tips to make scratch cooking a lot easier.

If you are looking to transform your health, it starts in the kitchen.

When you cook from scratch, you control the ingredients. I don’t believe in restrictive diets or current diet fads. Just east REAL FOOD!!

We cook a majority of our mels from scratch (in our camper) and that requires time. Give yourself grace and space to learn and implement this way of eating. Its not all or nothing. Celebrate your winds and don’t stress its its not perfect.

I WANTED to make sourdough bread, but to be honest, sourdough just plain old scared me.

The directions looked complicated.
Special equipment was often required (like scales)
Flours were recommended that I don’t often use
There was A LOT of waste.
The commitment was staggering (twice a day, forever).
And everyone seemed to experience a lot of failures.

I didn’t want to make THAT KIND of sourdough.

Maybe you can relate.

I knew if sourdough was going to be a success in my busy life it had to be:
Simple (no fuss!)
Quick (A few minutes a day)
Easy (Something a 7-year-old could do)
Flexible (Something I could put down for a while when life got busy)
Practical (It had to fit into a busy homestead life!)

So, I set out to find a method that fit all of these criteria…

I killed a few starters along the way…

but I finally found the method I was looking for!

It is a SIMPLE, fool-proof method that only requires a few minutes a day AND you can use your pick of flours!

Now, I help busy moms, keep their sourdough starter ALIVE and make delicous bread.

Just in case you’re new around here and wondering who I am and what this account is all about, I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself.

The nutshell version of my story is in 2020 I watched our grocery bill double and had to close our business (solo income source for our family of 6). We needed a way to feed our family that wouldn’t break the bank.

You see, I struggled with where to start and what to do first when the bills started piling up and I finally hit a breaking point, and decided to try something besides couponing (which hadn’t worked).

I was shocked at how much information was on line to help you grow food and imeditatley got overwhelmed. But I put my head down and decided to just do it an learn along the way, knowing I was going to fail. We failed at somethings but excelled at others, we leaned into those things and created a system that made gardening simple for a busy mom of 4.

Changing how I feed my family helped me cut the grocery bill, and now I’ve helped thousands of busy moms do the same.
So that’s what I talk about here, while also sharing snippets of my life as a homesteading mom.

And while it’s true that a successful garden only requires 20 minutes of attention each day, sometimes I just can’t help myself.

But ultimately, I know the system I’ve put in place allows for some small cheats like this.

If you’re ready to slow down, heal your gut, and eat nutrious foods, I want you to know it doesn’t have to be that hard, and you don’t have to sacrifice everything to get there.

I dreamed of living a simplier life with my husband and kids, one where we weren’t trying to keep up AND we made amazing memories. We stopped participating in so many things and tried so many things to change our lifestyle but nothing worked.

But then I found a better way.

Then we found HOMESTEADING and learned it wasn’t all about the chickens and sourdough. It was a way of life that embraced traditional skills and mindsets that made us slow down and focus on what was important.

I’ve helped hundreds of busy moms do the same thing and I know I can help you too.
