Review: Homestead Simplicity - A Primer

Posted in Product Review

Our very own Lisa Barthuly has written a sweet eBook called Homestead Simplicity - A Primer. Here is how she describes what she has written, "Homestead Simplicity: A Primer shares helps for the Keeper of the Home! We like to keep it simple around here and, while I also want the best for my family, sometimes striking a balance between the two can be difficult at best. Join us as we share some simple hints, tips and recipes along with a little inspiration to add a little "Homestead Simplicity" to your life! Natural Cleaning recipes, Cooking from Scratch (easily!) planning/stocking your pantry, and loving care for your homestead and those in it!"

This 34-page eBook is probably best for the new homesteader or for someone, like myself, who has not been able to realize her dream of owning a little homestead. Categories include Homestead Kitchen, Recipes from the Homestead, Homestead Pantry, Putting Foods By, Homestead Cleaners, Homestead Clean and Healthy and Simple Living'. The recipes are mostly simply, yummy "down-home" fare that everyone will enjoy. However, I believe that even the most veteran homesteader would enjoy my favorite chapter, Homestead Cleaners . Just reading through that information has me excited to try making my own cleaners (that is one of my goals for this year!) and to share this newfound information with my children. I hope to inspire my daughter to take care of her family the best way possible. Homestead Simplicity - A Primer will make a sweet gift for her someday!
