While I continued to focus on healthy living and homemaking in general, Donielle saw [...]

Could you have a farm… in your own backyard?

farm in backyard

About 5 years ago, I first stumbled upon the "homegrown revolution" and the idea that it was not only possible, but liberating to be able to grow one's own food. From that first spark, my backyard gardening attempts have continually grown, and I've learned how to support local farmers for my meat and dairy, and the produce that I am not able to grow myself. I wouldn't say that I have a backyard farm. At this point, I'd call myself a somewhat ambitious suburban gardener, [...]

21 Days to a More Disciplined Life (plus 100 free copies!)

discipline is the bridge

I'm the queen of making lofty goals that never come to fruition. Being a particularly ambitious and driven person, I tend to shoot for the starts. I write up fancy plans, reorganize my schedule, print up pretty calendars and goal charts and dive right in. None of this is bad; in fact, being goal oriented and aiming high is a good thing! The problem is that my exuberance often exceeds my capability to follow through. Time and again, my lofty plans fall flat. Over the [...]
