66. Digging Deeper with Jill Winger of the Prairie Homestead
This week is an awesome episode with Jill Winger of the Prairie Homestead. Jill is a well known homesteader, author, entrepreneur, rancher, mother and wife. She is one of the first people I started following and reading when I was interested in living a more simple life.

We had an awesome discussion and covered a variety of topics to include:
- The importance of letting your kids be bored.
- Balancing old-fashioned skills with modern technology and conveniences.

63. Handcrafted Holiday Gifts you can make in August
Anyone got the Holiday season itch?
I typically do not like to start preparing for a holiday way before the actual season starts. I really despise seeing Christmas stuff in stores in October, however considering holidays gifts early in the year can help you out later in a lot of ways!
In this episode, I talk about a few Handcrafted and Homemade Holiday gifts that you can start making today with some of the harvest you have in your garden and really take some of the stress off when the holiday season comes.
I have a few fun, cost effective, and super simple ideas that I talk about in this episode.
