This month in the Homestead Notebook I was able to add a few recipes we like and the plans for the backyard micro homestead this year. Plus, there are also some details on our chickens and plans to put together some DIY hoop tunnels for our garden this spring. First, the Cowboy Candy (also known…
One of the biggest questions I get from others is: “How do you get insights and real application out of the Bible?” I remember when I was younger and the boys were little and my life was hectic, that I KNEW the Bible had the answers, but HOW did I get to them? I could…
As I was reviewing our financial situation and looking ahead to what is coming up (huge tax bill, a son’s wedding, emergency fund replenished after our roof replacement) I knew I needed to get back to being as intentional as we were in 2009 when we started our Total Money Makeover with Dave Ramsey. So…

One of the main questions people ask me is how I, personally, study the Bible. That’s a big question to answer because about every year I switch it up. Last year I read through the Bible along with my husband using the excellent 5 Day Bible Reading plan. I enjoyed it and that was actually…

I’m back in a Bullet Journal and it feels so good! I spent the last couple weeks looking at layout ideas and reviewing my old Bullet Journals (I started in 2014 and have 8 years worth now!) and figuring out what to keep and what to toss. I decided to keep things simple and stick…
In December I tried out the Anchored Women S.O.S. Planner for the month. If you are looking for a printable and customizable planner this one might be for you! I enjoyed my time in it, and appreciated all the little extras, like a weekly review “looking back” page and a “looking ahead” planning page each…
Every Christmas it was always the same. Our boys would hunt under the tree and sort out their gifts by the gift tag, and pretty much figure out what was in each one. Even the cleverly disguised ones, like a tiny gift in a big box with a brick in it. So frustrating for me…
For my final planner test of the year I chose the S.O.S Planner from Kayse at Anchored Women. It’s a digital download that has lots of customizable options to choose from. I used this planner in 2017 when I was homeschooling my boys and loved it. Since that time she has updated a lot of…
