Hey Friend!
In this episode I will tell you about the different kinds of seeds and go step by step how to plant seeds to make it easy for beginner gardeners.
I just planted seeds and I know I had so many questions when I first started doing a garden. I don’t start all of my seeds, but tomatoes, peppers, and a few others is what I like to get started before we can bring outside to plant because our season in so short in MN.. It probably wont be ready to plant outside until late may, early June here! Look on your seed packet for detailed information of when you should plant.

Hello!
I can’t even tell you how excited I am to REALLY know the direction that God is leading me. As many of you probably know, I am very multi passionate & I love to do so many things! I absolutely enjoy being a nurse and the patients are amazing and being a helper is one of my gifts which I also find alot of value in at home being a wife, mom, and grandma! Working as needed at the clinic has been perfect for me, but honestly…..I am busier than ever at home! I am the type of person that has to be doing something and helping someone to be fulfilled-whether it be learning something new, trying something new or crafting and you definitely wont ever see me sitting around!! I grew up on a dairy farm and working hard is in my blood!
So……I just want to let you know what is happening around here and how I am going to be pivoting slightly. I want to teach more people to grow their own food and preserve it, raise their own animals, and become more self-sufficient as they begin their homesteading journey!

Hello Friend
Welcome back to another week-It was quite a week here and my original podcast has switched gears because this is what is on my heart this week!! Life is precious and we have such a short time here on earth, so we need to use it wisely. Even with all of the things that happened this week, I have so much peace. God's plan is perfect! I can’t control what goes on in this world, but I am ever so thankful to know the one who is in control.
Today, I just want you to go deep and look at what really matters to you. I give you 4 actions to find fulfillment in your life.

Hello
Have you ever thought about how much you could get done without electronics? This might be a hot topic today and I think most of us know the addiction, but just don’t know how to break it!
I am not anti-electronics because there are so many good things that come from electronics like being able to look up any information or even my podcasts being spread around the world, but the work ethic of society has really changed because of it.
When facebook went down last year for a short amount of time, people didn’t know what they were going to do because many relied on it for business. That was a great learning lesson to make sure to build a business you own! Social media is a dangerous and addictive side of technology that has crept up on us thanks to the very intentional work of social media engineers. I have heard social media be called the new Tobacco company, selling products to be as addictive as possible.
You may be wondering why I am talking about this, but I am seeing more and more people going to digital minimalism and I am all about that! It is the time honored philosophy that better living can come from less.
I can't wait to hear your feedback and how this blesses your family! I actually deleted my Apps shortly after this recording and I think you will like the changes it will make in your life!
