About My Blog

By
Dear friends,

I apologize for failing to keep up on this blog.  After dabbling in writing for other places, I decided it was time to come back to my blogspot here and get it going again.  Though I will still share videos here from time to time, I have full intentions of getting into writing more DIY and other such articles related to being more frugal, healhty, and self sufficient. I am really looking forward to this and not only have several articles brewing, I have many already written that I can share here and will get on that very soon.

I am looking forward to seeing this page get off the ground and that this may be a bit more user friendly to everyone. 

Thank you for those whom have stuck with me despite my falling behind here and I hope you will help me to build my audience and make this a great place for learning and sharing!

God bless you all!

    Hello Heidi!
    How is it I never knew you had a blog? LOVE IT! Can't wait to explore it. I'm sure there's a sub button somewhere. I just clicked on the FB post. Read what you had to say about reviving your blog and didn't look further. Now to find the sub button. 😉

      So glad you found it! I am having fun getting this up and going again. Though I was liking steemit, it was just fun for a time, I am coming back here as it is just easier for me and I do not feel so pressured to try to get something out daily like I did on steemit. Though I am going to try to do a few posts a week if I am able and I am guessing there may be times I can do more than that. :)

    I love that you are doing this...I really didn't know you had a blog, but it would be a great place to keep those recipes! I have a blog (actually 2), but have gotten soooo bad a keeping up on them. One was for sewing projects and one was for gardening. Maybe I will have to follow your lead and start working from there again. Facebook has been easier for me since my posts can be short.

      I hear ya' there, it can be hard finding time to write longer blogs. I was doing steemit and it is tricky there as there are certain times of the day it is best to post and that just happens to be the busiest time for me. If you do not post at that time, your post likely gets lost in the rest and likely not seen. I was so excited about it at first but too many things about it became very inconvenient to me. I am hoping this works out better for me here. :)

    Hello , Heidi ! I just recently subed to your YouTube channel, and LOVE it . Have already learned so much from you. Thrilled to find out you have a blog too. I would love to sub to it via email- is that possible ? I didn't see a place to do that. It would be great for me. I don't know how you do everything that you do. We are in the process of moving from Texas in the city, to the Smokie Mts. in N.C. and will have an acre so we can have a garden again and my hubby can hunt and fish in the mountains. Can't wait.

    Hey, very nice site.
    I came across this on Google, and I am stoked that I did.
    I will definitely be coming back here more often.
    Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table,
    but am just taking in as much info as I can at the moment. Thanks for sharing.

    Love the videos on YouTube but also love the blog. I'm in the process of building a more intentional medicinal herbal garden and the blog is great for reference information in a printed format. The videos are great but you talk fast and if I want to take notes this is one of the places I like to go. I just don't know how you get all the things done that you do. I have a hard time just listening to videos, taking notes and living. When are you going to do a video on how to cram in a weeks worth of work in one day?

    I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

Wonderful Uses and Benefits of Wooly Lamb's Ear

Wooly Lamb's Ear (Stachys Byzantina) is another one of the many multi purpose herbs that the more self reliant types should consider growing if they are not already. If you are already growing this lovely, velvety plant, maybe you can learn something new from this article.   One of my Lamb's Ear plants in my West herb garden The soft leaves make a great bandage because they are absorbent, antibacterial, and antiseptic. They also have anti-fungal properties which is what gives them the ability to help cure candida overgrowth. It can be used to treat cuts, scrapes, burns, bug bites and stings. I have used it on several occasions with a bit of chewed up yarrow or plantain in the middle of the leaf and held onto the wound with a a bit of gauze, loosely wrapped ace bandage, or even a small rubber band. The bruised or dried leaves can be brewed into a tea and taken internally to help treat many things such as internal bleeding, soothing sore throats, candida

Marshmallow: Root Harvest and More

We ended up having to dig up one of my marshmallow plants to make room for a post in the garden and this is the first time I have been able see just how big those precious, medicinal roots have become. I have been using the leaves for the past few years as a green in my salads, in teas, soaps, infused oil for my skin cream, and more all while allowing the roots to really develop. Now I can start using those too in my teas and even for making the confectionery treat by the same name. I got all of it dried up on my wood stove and managed to fill well over a quart jar once it was all finished. I found the easiest way was to chop them up, then dry them completely (I use stoneware baking sheets elevated with racks on my wood stove) then process the dried pieces in the blender.    This should last me quite awhile but I have to say, I am tempted on digging up another plant but will probably wait until early fall before the rains come as that is when the roots are most benefici

Grape Leaves Health Benefits and Uses

By

In the late spring my grape vines around my deck go crazy and end up covering my solar lights within a matter of a few days and then start to shade too much of the plants on my deck so I need to get busy and start pruning them back so my lights and plants can get some sun.  A few of years ago, I had decided to look into grape leaves to find out what uses they might have and was pleased to find they are not only edible, but loaded with nutrients and benefits to health. So now when I prune, I do not just throw out those precious greens, I dehydrate them for future uses! In the summer when I am making lots of vinegar, I like to use the larger grape leaves to cover my fruit and herbs in order to keep them under the water while brewing. A batch of rose petal vinegar just being started They also are great for adding to cucumbers when pickling to help keep them crisp. A batch of my lacto fermented pickles I have added the young, more tender leaves to salad
