How has January been treating you? It started off freezing and has become more mild for us. That makes a HUGE difference when taking care of farm animals. I had to even leave them in the coop with a small heater on for a few days there. I tried opening the door a crack and...
I hope you’ve have a wonderful week. Before we get to the Homestead Blog Hop, I wanted to pass on a few of my favorite January projects. When it’s cold outside and I hibernate inside, I like to think about Spring and make new plans for the coming garden, what new chickens or ducks I...

This year I have 21 ideas for you to work with; ideas for beauty and body gifts, crafts like car fresheners, food (yes, they can be made ahead wonderfully), and even health gifts like elderberry syrup, herbal blends...
I’ve put together so many amazing Fall soap recipes over the years. I wanted to put them all together for you. Even I didn’t remember all of them that I’ve made over the years so this was a fun reminder and inspiration to make some that I haven’t made in a while. These soap recipes...
Christmas, Mother’s Day, Birthdays, Father’s Day, there are so many occasions where a handmade, last minute DIY gift is the perfect idea. I know how hard being a mom can be sometimes. Having certain ingredients on hand can make things a lot easier. I keep a variety of bath and beauty ingredients because I like...
I apparently love tinkering with my deodorant recipes. This homemade clay deodorant recipe had to go through many tests in order to make it glide nicely, work wonderfully, and also not be a melting mess. My Coconut oil and baking soda deodorant recipe is easy, frugal, and fun because you get to add the scents...

Handmade soap is fun, frugal, and healthy. Below, I’ll teach you how to make 3 Spring handmade vegan soap recipes...
I get a lot of questions about creating soap and shampoo bar recipes. One of the questions I get the most is about superfat content; what’s the best superfat percentage for soap body bars, face bars, or shampoo bars and why? I’m sure there are a lot of strong opinions about the best percentages to...
Since it’s my goal to be self sufficient in most everything, I figured that wrapping paper is on that list. After all, even if you decide you don’t want to repeat a craft, doing it once is something that you can cross off your list of abilities under your hat. And these 7 gift wrapping...
