Ep 164. 3 Homestead Things I’m Not Doing This Winter… and 2 That I Definitely Am
Description
Winter is supposed to be the season where everything finally slows down… but for many of us, it quickly becomes another round of pressure to plan next year’s garden, stock the pantry, bake everything from scratch, and add even more to our already full plates. In this episode, I’m sharing the three homesteading tasks I’m not doing this winter so I can actually rest—and the two cozy, meaningful projects I am embracing to stay connected to my homestead in a way that fits my real life.
We’re talking about:
Why I’m not starting every seed in January
How I’m resisting the urge to buy another pantry shelf’s worth of groceries
The kitchen gadgets I’m saying no to (even on Black Friday!)
The herbal products I’m creating with what I dried over the summer
Why winter preserving—like dealing with those freezer tomatoes—actually feels easier
If you’ve felt the pressure to “do all the things” in the winter homestead season, this episode will give you permission to simplify, slow down, and choose what truly matters in your current season of life.
