Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!
This week is a “staying cool” focus. Although we have temps in the 90’s this week, we also have friends with family in town from central Africa, and that kind of puts our heat wave into better perspective. To us, it still feels pretty hot!
Let’s just enjoy some watermelon and sun tea this week and do our best to not overdo it outside!

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.
