Life in the Prairie Box: June 2012

http://prairiebox.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

How to pasture poultry without a chicken tractor. After some serious googling, I came across Premier 1 Supplies and PountryNet. The chickens are happy, we should be back to getting healthy eggs, and hopefully we won't have any more problems with our neighbors. Time to go check the yogurt and see if I can go to bed yet!

Life in the Prairie Box: November 2011

http://prairiebox.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Modern homesteading: Empowering or enslaving? My mother had a different story. As a single parent, she had to work full-time. But she still found time to cook from scratch, and she taught me that life is more about experiences than material trappings. All of my aunts are crafty, and they all cook. Do I feel enslaved by my efforts to be more self-sufficient? But I do feel like feminism has seriously backfired in some ways. Women now seem to feel like they should. Won't you be bored? Not a chance. I'd ...

Life in the Prairie Box: October 2011

http://prairiebox.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Almost meal planning: progress report. Yeesh, I'm talkative lately. I feel like there are so many things bouncing around in my head, and I just want to post to get them all out in some sort of coherent way. And if I can unload the little stuff, maybe there will be more room to mull over the big stuff. I mean, there can only be so much room inside your head, yah? Last week. Shayne and Ethan also had dinner at home every day. Major accomplishment, at least in my little world! So what am I doing differently?

From the Farm

http://fromfarm.blogspot.com/2012/07/this-weekend-we-took-little-camping.html

Monday, June 18, 2012. This weekend we took a little camping trip to Cabwaylingo State Forest, here in West Virginia. A lot of the trails are overrun but we bushwacked through an old trail and found an amazing spot for exploring. The pictures don't do it justice, and we had a great time.

Life in the Prairie Box: November 2012

http://prairiebox.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Tonight, on a whim, I whipped up a mini-batch of chapstick. I'm utterly addicted to Burt's Bees peppermint (hmmm, I'm noticing a minty trend here.), but I'm on my last tube. I'm also not addicted to the $3.50 per tube price tag. After a bit of Googling and a peek at the ingredients on the real thing, I got busy. Here's my recipe:. 3 oz coconut oil. 1 oz shea butter. 05 oz avocado oil. Peppermint essential oil, "to taste". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to my houseblog! View my complete profile.

Life in the Prairie Box: October 2012

http://prairiebox.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Last year at this time I posted about how important it is to prepare for winter. Both literally (when there is little to no fresh, local food available), and figuratively (when a crisis, personal or environmental, may prevent you from buying or acquiring food). This year, at almost the same time, I find myself thinking the same thoughts. Deja vu? In contrast, here are the same shelves in January of 2011, when Shayne had just built them:. At first glance, the thing I notice most is that the shelves are mu...
