Episode 135: Thought of the Walk on Reach vs. Control Feb 15, 2019

Show notes

This is a shorter episode where I share something that occurs to me while out on a walk. We focus so much on getting things done around here that sometimes it is easy to forget to make time for your mind to wander and a walk is a great way to do that. Today, I have some thoughts on the great tradeoff of control for other things such as reach, security, money and more. There is a constant pressure between these things and many folks do not assess their choices with this knowledge in hand.

Episode 131: Family is Everything Feb 04, 2019

Show notes

Today, I have a pretty short episode about family, making time for them, and why it matters. Why short? Because today, I am coming to you from California while visiting my family -- and nieces -- who I have not seen in over a year. And what a visit it has been. I will be here through Tuesday and fly home on Wednesday, which means that the podcast for Wednesday will be a replay because I have realized that flying across the country, and also recording a podcast is not going to work this week. But don't worry. We will be back to normal on Friday...and the Holler Hat content post will go out as planned as it is the last one before Thursday's drawing for a free membership!

Episode 129: What every homestead kitchen should have Jan 30, 2019

Show notes

Today, I thought it would be fun to wrap up the month of the modern homesteading kitchen topics by discussing what you should have in yours. It will break up into two categories the Basics and More Advanced. For me, good living and home cooking go hand in hand. And a good set up in the kitchen helps make this possible.
