44. Can I homestead and work full-time? How to Make Homesteading Work When You Work Outside the Home Oct 28, 2024

I know you want to grow your homestead, but what if both you and your spouse work full time? Can you make homesteading work even if you work outside the home? How can you find the time to learn new things, work on your homestead, and do the things you want to accomplish? In this episode, I share my thoughts for finding balance between living and working in the real world and following your homesteading dreams. If you feel like your job is holding you back from really homesteading, then this episode is for you.

I pray that this episode would inspire you if you work outside the home, that you are not excluded from this homesteading life that God is calling you to. You can find a way to make it work for your family by changing your perspective, developing realistic goals, and being willing to make homesteading a priority in your schedule. I pray that God would give you contentment for where you are at, that he would use this time to build up your homesteading skills and knowledge, and through Him you would find a balance between work and homesteading. I pray that episode blesses each of you today!

42. Seasonal Eating and Changing the Way You Think About Food Oct 14, 2024

When you go to the grocery store, what influences what you buy? What looks good? What’s on sale? What about what’s in season? We live in a world where we can get strawberries in December and squash in June, and our culture has really lost touch with a natural pattern of eating with the seasons. Today we are going to explore the concept of seasonal eating to transform your grocery budget, your health, and the way you think about food. I’m going to challenge some cultural norms and break down why seasonal eating is still valuable to us, and what seasonal eating looks like for our family.

I hope this episode inspires you to give more seasonal-eating a try, whether from your own garden or just being intentional about how you select foods from the store. There is something so exciting about each season when it brings new foods and flavors to your meals.
