Hello!  I am going to warn you right away…..we are talking about chickens and they can be an addiction!  They are so fun to watch and I love having fresh eggs every day and  I dont ever want to run out, so I like to get some new chicks each year and now we are up to about 24 chickens.  Some are not laying daily, but they are so beautiful and they sure are good bug pickers, so I just can’t get rid...

Hello! I can’t believe it is Easter this weekend!  I hope you are able to celebrate the joy of Jesus' resurrection! When it is cold outside, we like to bake an extra amount and then freeze items for when our schedules are full and we are extra busy.  This works out great to always have food that is nutrient dense and keeps up from spending extra money at the store for convenience items. When the p...

Hey there!  This has been an interesting week and I decided I will go back to 1 episode per week unless I have some extra time each week to put out 2 probably for the next few months anyway.  If you haven’t listened in the last few weeks, God put it on my heart last month to put our house up for sale which makes no sense to us at all, so knowing that we need to be obedient, within a few weeks, we...

Hey Friend I love to be doing something as I am very active and mutlitpassionate, so I really have to intentionally makes choices as to what takes up my time.  I see you trying to do it all and feeling proud of yourself for getting so many things done, but sometimes it is like a busy badge of honor and can be very harmful to your health and relationships all around you and you can really only sust...

Hey Friend We had another incredible 3 day weekend with grandkids and kids last weekend and even though the weekend ended up being very cold, we still had plenty of quality time spent together.   It just amazes me how fast all the kids grow and I am so glad they all have a good time playing together! I am so so grateful for all the time we are all able to spend together. This got me thinking about...

Hey Friend! Never grew up homesteading, but you want to start?  I grew up on a dairy farm, so that is where I get my work ethic, but I didn’t grow up with a garden, canning or making too many things from scratch!  It wasn’t until after I was married and had a few young kids in my early 20’s when I even had any interest! Much of it came out of necessity at that time.  I wanted to raise my own kids,...

Welcome Friend I get so many questions about growing seeds and I am not an expert at all, but I will give you the information I know!  Remember, if you don’t have time to grow your own seeds, you can buy them before you plant your garden from greenhouses that has done that part for you and that is what I did for many many years, but it is a little more expensive.   I just planted seeds and I know...

Hey Friend! What is financial success to you?  So many people define financial success as retiring early, a million dollars in the bank, material Items and how much they accumulate, but I believe it should look different as a Christian.  I challenge you to look at this differently.  As Christians, we are eternal beings and I believe that our life should not be measured  by what we accumulate on ea...

Welcome to another episode I can't even tell you how awesome it is not using social media!  I didn't realize how much it zapped my energy even using it so sparingly! I realize when I get too busy that I have less time for God which is the most important thing in my life.  My life suffers when this happens and since I love to always be doing things and can get caught up in the hustle, I have to sit...

Hello This last week with all of our grandkids here, it really reminded me of the reason I do what I do!  On Friday after having a fish fry the night before with my parents, kids, and all the grandkids,I had to think……what day is it? Our closest Grandkids are 30 minutes away with the others about 1.5 hours away, so because we don’t live really close, it doesn’t always happen that we have everyone...

Hey Friend It is starting to warm up here at the time of this recording, but even though it has been cold, I have had so much incredible time with friends crafting for 4 days and then another weekend time with friends that I don’t see very often and another weekend at a Womens leadership retreat, we have been ice fishing and my family has caught a bunch of fish, so even when it is cold, we still g...

Hello Friend It was really amazing how little I spent on food last month with our no spend challenge and I thought there is no reason we can’t eat like this all year because we wasted so much less.  I honestly don’t like cooking anything that is putsy or takes alot of time, so my goal is to have simple, thrifty, and healthy meals!  Make a meal plan for the week using what you have in your refriger...

Welcome to another week of Claiming Simplicity Are you wanting to pursue more simplicity in your life?  Many years ago, I realized  I wanted to spend my days with more meaning and not consuming and competing.   Pursuing a simplified life can be just as exhausting at times as pursuing the fast one because it doesn’t just happen on its own.  You still have to manage balancing family life, work life,...

Hello I do this no spend challenge and freezer and pantry clean out every January, but it was really fun to do with other people this year!  It is such a great way to begin the new year with new habits and many of those habits stay throughout the year.  Being intentional about every single purchase is so good to be aware of.  I value time, flexibility and  freedom over consumerism and material ite...

Hey Friend! I was pretty excited to only spend $73 on groceries last month-especially with the food prices right now! I am so grateful that my family hunts and fishes,  we grow and preserve our own food, and have chickens for meat and fresh eggs_especially with the price of eggs right now! I used to advise people to eat eggs for an evening meal at least once per week to save money, but now they ar...

I am so glad you are here!   I am going into this 2nd year of podcasting and I just want to say that I never in my life ever had a dream to podcast, I’m not a natural speaker, and I didn’t think I had anything to talk about, but God…..  He had plans, and if you are listening, you must want to live a simpler life because the podcast has grown to the top 2.5% globally, so that is exciting!
