  • Thoughtful, considered, beyond cows and canning

    I listened to this podcast years ago but stopped listening (along with a few other “homesteading” podcasts) because I have been living that lifestyle for 45 years and after a while those podcasts became redundant and I could no longer relate or learn much new information. Plus my kids are grown adults. Jill was also very into her business model and business in general and that didn’t interest me. For some reason I decided recently to listen again and felt a shift away from those themes and more... more

  • The change isn’t for me and that’s okay

    I used to really enjoy this podcast but for the last year it has come off more as I’m Not Like Other Girls: The Podcast. As a fellow contrarian, I understand the impulse to seek out something new when your niche becomes mainstream but this podcast no longer serves me. It feels like we are beating a dead horse week after week. We get it, homeschooling and homesteading is no longer countercultural. You’re moving on. Less episodes about moving on and the past and why you’re not doing this anymore. ... more

  • The Change

    I’ve followed this show since the beginning and it’s been wonderful the knowledge and experience shared and I am grateful for all of it. The shift in life was clear over a year ago and I know you will continue with purpose, but IBLP deeply hurt you and I do understand and age 40 was when I also felt a shift. I hope the podcast, blogs, soda fountain, everything and more will continue to flourish and your new beginning will heal your heart.

  • Home Sweet Homespun

    I’m Gen X and grew up with old roots AND am still excited about it. I don’t feel like the fact that it’s not “new” for me that it’s not exciting. Growing up with it shouldn’t belittle folks that are finding it and celebrating it

Q: What would you do to build one raised bed using free or scavenged materials?
Start with reclaimed lumber, it doesn't need to look pretty; just build a basic frame and fill it with good soil, possibly sourced from your own yard.
