Homestead Blog Hop #40!

Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

Don't you just love our new picture? Kelly at Simple Life Mom designed it. It's so nice and fresh! Anyway, we had a bad thunder storm on Saturday that killed our phone and internet, and tonight another bad storm is right over us. I'm hoping it doesn't hit our phone line again, we just got it back on Monday! 

Now on to the hop... Homestead Blog Hop will take place every Wednesday and is for all things homesteading: real food recipes, farm animals, crafts, DIY, how-to's, gardening, anything from-scratch, natural home/health, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, natural remedies, essential oils, & more! Basically anything related to homesteading.

Meet and Follow Your Hosts!
