Hello my friends,
Boy have I neglected this blog! I generally get busy in the early autumn, with harvesting the gardens, and canning the bounty it brings forth, and then....I get tired. LOL.
Winter is a slow time at the micro-mini ranch, as it is for most people who garden in cold climates, but I thought I'd give you all a little update, mostly for myself to get me back into the "mood" of blogging again. Maybee this winter I'll be more motivated to write - espcially if the plans in my brain bear out!
1. I've been getting more and more into making home remedies for medicinal and for beauty, using natural oils, essential oils, and general household items. I've been collecting tons of recipes, and working out some stuff on my own. If you want to see what I've been learning, I have several Pinteret pages. Take a look at some of my stuff:
Alternative and Natural Beauty Ideas
Alternative and Natural Home Remedies: Internal
Alternative and Natural Home Remedies: External
Herbal uses and Essential Oils
I've also been researching more on gardening, especially Heirloom seeds (non-GMOs), and organic pest control. Here are my gardening pages on Pinterest if you want to have a look:
Gardening: Fruits, Veggies, and Herbs
Gardening: Flowers and Landscaping Ideas
Gardening: Organic Pest Control Tips
If you follow me on Facebook, you know that I've devoted a significant time over the last year to learning and following the Paleo Lifestyle. Also known as the Anscestral Diet, or The Primal Blueprint, there are a tons of ways of saying that I've been trying to kick my addiction to processed foods, particularly those containing wheat and other grains. I started another blog with a few friends, and you can read about our ups and downs as well as get food ideas and recipes that we developed by going over to:
Paleo Lifestyle in the Real World
and our companion Facebook support page: Paleo Lifestyle in the Real World on FB.
Anywhoo, I would like wish you all a Happy 2013. Here's hoping we all are happy and healthy through the coming year!
