The boys splash and play in the stock tank pool and I have developed a full-blown gardening addiction! The gardening has led to preserving foods through canning, freezing, drying and dehydrating.įeel free to check out OUR GARDEN page for more tips and tricks for growing fresh produce and my PRESERVING FOOD category. We have been loving it for four years now. The first step was creating a raised bed garden. We knew that growing our own food was a priority, and it has been quite a learning process! We definitely aren’t all the way there yet. There are several projects I’d still like to work on, but we aren’t in a hurry. Our budget was small, but with Aaron's skills and my willingness to paint (and paint and paint), we were able to create a home that we have absolutely loved. We had another baby, Abe, and we decided that it could work for me to stay at home and raise the boys while side hustlin' my essential oil business. Updating the HVAC and replacing the roof. Most of our initial home projects were of the boring variety, you know the ones. I also remember knowing that I had a mental laundry list of ideas! I remember walking into this home for the first time and telling Aaron that it was perfect just as it was, and we wouldn't have to do a thing to it. Aaron was working as a biologist for the state and I was a dental hygienist. When we bought the property in 2013, we had two sons, Madden & Sam. The sunflowers blooming around the garden were a pretty nod to our Kansas homestead last summer. I share recipes that are hearty, simple and from scratch. This encompasses recipes, preserving food, hunting, gardening, holistic health and so much more. What began as a place to share gardening tips has turned into a community of folks who want to know how to live traditionally. What I didn’t expect to find thousands of others out there who have the same passion! Now I speak to gardening groups and teach classes about all things homesteading. I started this blog as a way to document our journey as we learned how to live sustainably and in harmony with nature. We have about twenty acres that consists of a pollinator meadow, garden, and plenty of room for the kids to roam. We are located along the south fork of the Ninnescah River, named after the Native Americans who first settled this land. I’d like to personally introduce you to Ninnescah Homestead.
