She is a writer, and while there is not a family blog, she sometimes posts about her family. Her blog is interesting and fun and you'll learn lots! She, by the way, is a wonderful person and has become a dear friend!<br /> <br />http://robyn-campbell.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Have a great week!the wild magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355836751549469688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984988372879359533.post-35474559549108714972010-12-26T21:42:48.989-05:002010-12-26T21:42:48.989-05:00Homesteading is a state of mind for sure!

I am like you I have learned to make bread and incorporate it into my weekly doings now! No going back for me, the bread is so good too, that makes it much easier to stick to!<br /><br />Canning this last year was amazing. I put up several hundred jars of stuff! I was so excited and we have been enjoying it so much! We are emptying those jars on a regular basis. This year I will can as much of our food as I can. A lot of the produce I grew, some I was given by people who had more than they could use. Pears I was given a boat load of pears! <br /><br />I have said to DH if we ever have to move back to town, my biggest requirement is some sort of a yard. I don't have to have acres to have a nice garden! A yard works just fine too!<br /><br />Your fresh start will energize you and you will find many ways I am sure to make changes this year :O). You go girl!Texanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560812716080117867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984988372879359533.post-74437360189467328892010-12-26T18:23:49.964-05:002010-12-26T18:23:49.964-05:00Hi, Laura!

Just got the chance to catch up on every one's blog posts and believe that all will be well in your life because you sound determined to do what is in your heart. <br /><br />A friend of mine turned me on to Mother Earth Magazine many (eons LOL!) years ago but I've kind of fizzled out on it for a couple of years. Thanks for the reminder of what a great magazine it is. I'll put myself on the mailing list.<br /><br />aaahhhh...Kansas's Dust in the Wind.....it's always been one of my favorites...<br /><br />Have a Great New Year.Carol.............https://www.blogger.com/profile/00830052294446316415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984988372879359533.post-63733309595305149842010-12-26T16:16:39.092-05:002010-12-26T16:16:39.092-05:00Always glad to hear what is going on in your life....Always glad to hear what is going on in your life. I really like the homesteading "mindset". It is very practical, why indeed should your love of homesteading be set aside. <br /><br />I want to break away from processed foods and eat more natural foods. Thinking I can't afford this, but here again, if I change my mindset I can make some of these changes.<br /><br />Enjoyed you post.<br /><br />Wishing you peace, health and unexpected blessings.the wild magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355836751549469688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984988372879359533.post-30617540435109337382010-12-26T16:08:02.464-05:002010-12-26T16:08:02.464-05:00You have the right mindset for success...

I've been making it my goal to make my own bread as well. I use a bread machine because work and an hour commute one way, take up to much of my day, but so far we've made bread, hotdog and hamburg buns, dinner rolls, bread sticks, pizza dough and salad croutons. I'd really like to make pitas and wraps too.<br /><br />I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and all the best for you and your family in the coming year.<br /><br />~Andrea~Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451777566497814274noreply@blogger.com
