Only the introverts are excited about this self-quarantine and isolation, and maybe a few people who DON'T have kids. But, bottom-line, self-quarantine could be coming to your neighborhood. First and foremost - if you've been asked to self-isolate because of your own exposure to Covid-19, do that. The self-isolation isn't just to protect you - it is to protect the community around you. … [Read more...]

After moving to our little piece of heaven, I really wanted a firepit that I could use for family time that would be fun to use, too. Our first choice was a traditional pit that frankly only got used a few times because it was too hard to get a fire going. Before you scoff - please remember - I'm still a newbie. And I am not interested in building fires with lighter fluid. I wanna build them … [Read more...]

I swear I've done more gardening at our new homestead than I've done everywhere I've ever lived, my entire life (lawn mowing excluded). Holy hole digging Cat Woman! Our little suburban house was surrounded by the builder with this treacherous and may I say noxious plant called St. Augustine grass, and to top it off all the construction equipment, rolling back and forth has made for some … [Read more...]

All at once the Yarden is a very busy place, but I'm getting into a routine. (If you don't know what a Yarden is ... check out this post.) The yarden now boasts more than 25 edible plants, shrubs, and trees. We've found a spot for the banana circle and have been scoping out places for the future food trees we'd like to have in the yard. Out in the meadow Butterfly Hollow is blooming, … [Read more...]

We get questions on Facebook from time to time about the things we share and post. Even last week, someone suggested our blog name wasn't "manly" enough to be taken seriously and professionally. Welp, we're not professionals, we're women who still consider ourselves novices, as we continue to learn share and grow our skills. We always welcome comments and feedback - how else do we improve and … [Read more...]

I am all about being prepared for things that can go wrong. We get really busy thinking about SHTF, but what about everyday preparedness? For ourselves, that's probably easy ... but what about Grandma, or another elderly person you care about? Over the last few months I've had the privilege of escorting my Aunt, who is 70, to some doctor appointments and over this time I've learned a little … [Read more...]

The more I learn about being prepared the more Naked and Afraid frustrates me. I know that starting a fire isn't easy, I know that surviving buck naked cannot be easy, but really, these contestants have survival and nature backgrounds yet spend most of their time naked and afraid. I keep searching for episodes to find one where they just slay the whole survival thing. Before I continue this … [Read more...]
