The Homesteading Carnival #64: The Proverbs 31 Woman Edition

Thank you for joining me this week for another amazing edition of The Homesteading Carnival. I had such a great time going through all these great submissions! I am so glad I was able to feature yours, if you submitted one!

I had a really hard time figuring out what theme I wanted to use for my edition, and finally asked Mama if she had any ideas. She threw me some and one of them was Proverbs 31 Woman. I thought about that and didn't really think I wanted to do it, so I kept thinking about another theme. Finally got out my bible to read the scripture to see how I could use it as my theme.
So without anymore talking, er, typing, here is how being the Proverbs 31 woman relates to The Homesteading Carnival!

Proverbs 31:14
She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

Dora Renee' Wilkerson found a Surprise Chocolate Fudge recipe that Melinda of The Jud-King Family shared. The secret ingredient: pinto beans!
