I was hesitant back when I bought my very first eBook, and even more so when my husband encouraged me to purchase a Kindle a couple years back. The feeling of holding a book, its pages beneath my fingers, being able to flip from section to section, and all of those tangibles that make a book a "book" had me questioning whether eBooks were really something I would ever come to appreciate in the same manner. Some of you may be feeling the same way [...]
By Mandi, Contributing Writer Even the most organized person will fall under the weight of too much stuff – a lesson I learned the hard way a few years into married life and motherhood – and instead of just inspiring my children to be organized, my goal is to show them the value of living a simple life without clutter. I wouldn't necessarily call us minimalists, as we don't stick to strict rules about the number of items in our home or what we do [...]
By Diana, Contributing Writer This post was intended to be all about spring gardening - spring vegetables that children love to grow, which vegetables will produce the most for your family, which types you can grow in containers, etc... However, my mind and thoughts are in other places. One of the things that I love about writing and being a part of the community at Keeper of the Home is that we're real. We're wives, mothers, and daughters doing the best that we can to nourish [...]
By Natalie, Contributing Writer I Dreamed a Dream I've always dreamed of living in the country. Always. I loved visiting my grandpa's big farm every summer and building make-believe homes out of old wheels and pots and other rubbish lying around in his barn. I loved visiting my great-grandma's farm and smelling the slightly-sour scent of warm milk and dung all mixed up in her barn after the cows had been milked. I loved going to camp and hiking through the woods, reading my Bible [...]
By Diana, Contributing Writer I'm always so excited to share a bit about my passions here at Keeper of the Home. Recently, I've enjoyed sharing a couple of posts on budgeting in real food and cooking with seasonal vegetables that both nourish and taste phenomenal. Many of you have started to follow me on instagram where I frequently post pictures of my ridiculously good lunches for kids. As you can tell, I enjoy loading up my children's diets on vegetables. A frequent question that I get is, [...]
They say necessity is the mother of all invention. After our first 6 weeks of traveling, I'd have to say that living and traveling internationally has proven that true time and time again. For example, take our first rental apartment in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It contained one lone frying pan. With its oddly warped and convex bottom, there was no way to keep it flat on the burner, and thus, no way to heat it evenly (or hardly at all). Enter the urgency of four [...]
