Homestead Blog Hop 607

Homestead Blog Hop

Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop, a weekly gathering for homesteaders and simple living enthusiasts to share DIY projects, from-scratch recipes, and creative inspiration. This week’s hop features cozy homesteading tips, along with practical ideas that celebrate handmade living and self-sufficiency.

Whether you’re looking for seasonal crafts, homemade treats, or encouragement on your homesteading journey, you’ll find plenty of inspiration to carry into the new year. Grab a cup of tea, explore the featured posts, and join us in sharing your own homestead creations.

On a Personal Note…

I have a YouTube channel, Facebook and Instagram accounts, and last week added a TikTok account to see how they all compare. I’d love it if you popped on over and followed along on any or all of those platforms.

YouTube is where my long-form videos live. You’ll find more up-to-date homestead stuff there, but I’m hoping to get back into more writing.

Facebook/Instagram are where I share daily off grid homestead snippets, and now TikTok as well. I am finding that people on each of these different platforms are vastly different. I have been surprised to actually discover that the Facebook community is a little (or a lot) more engaging of homestead-related content than YouTube so far. None of it is predictable.

Below is my latest long-form video, where I review a new tool that we’ve been implementing in the garden and around the homestead.

Also below is a recent short-form video that I like.

I’m glad you are here.

Hope you’re staying cool! Keep picking your flowers, counting your blessings, and sharing smiles with others.
