Foggy Day at the Beach

Last Saturday Joe and I were cruising down Ocean Blvd in North Myrtle Beach, SC as a heavy fog rolled in.

It is so much fun taking a drive, singing to the radio and the fog is just a bonus!

Planning the Future

I am working on some new projects to keep my mind busy as I await surgery. One is for fun. I opened a shop on Zazzle.com. https://www.zazzle.com/wisehippieproduction I'll be making and selling mainly bumper stickers and t-shirts. I made my first two.. here is one for backyard chickens . Update: I have made several and started a series of bumper stickers titled, " Camping Confessions ." I don't know if it will amount to anything, but it's something I have wanted to do for awhile in order to start transitioning to a home-based lifestyle. Joe and I both make jewelry, and our living room is still a studio, we haven't been working on it lately. We want to get back to it. I don't know how long my health will let me to continue to work full time and I need to have another source of income coming in. Since we put buying property on hold because of my health, I feel I need to be still be contributing to our future. I also want to make more videos and ...

Mid-March Goal Check

 So it’s mid-month and time to check on my goals for March. It will be rough going and I am not looking forward to how brutally honest I must be. -Drink at least a gallon of filtered water a day – Still struggling with this one. I don’t understand why. I used to drink almost 2 gallons a day, but now I don’t. -Get at least 6 hours of sleep each night – I might as well take this off of the list. Except I know just how important getting enough sleep is. Take last night, we didn’t get to sleep until 12:30am, I woke up at 4:30am for a restroom break ( I had to pee!) and then just a I was starting to doze off, the alarm clock went off. It was 5:30am. So about 4 ½ hours of sleep. -Make own shampoo-   Okay, this is becoming a joke. What am I using for shampoo? Right now just Dr. Bronner liquid soap mixed with water and an apple cider vinegar rinse. It does okay, but it can be drying. -Walking 15 minutes at least twice a week . – I’m doing better with this one. -Make ...

Making Soaked Flour Buttermilk Biscuits

Soaking Flour As one of my goals for January, I have been reading the book, “Nourishing Traditions,” by Sally Fallon Morrell . Soaking, fermenting, sprouting were all so foreign to me until I started this journey to healthy, homemade living. Sally writes about soaking flours to reduce anti-nutrients such as phytic acid. This improves the digestibility and absorption of minerals considerably. Helpful link: https://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/video-thursday-how-to-soak-flour-for/ So over the weekend I decided to make Sally Fallon Morrell’s recipe on page 484 of Nourishing Traditions, Buttermilk Biscuits. The recipe calls for 3 ½ cups of freshly ground spelt flour. As of this date, I don’t have a grinder for grains. I do have a coffee grinder that I can use for softer grinds like sprouted/dehydrated buckwheat and oat groats. But when I tried to grind spouted/dehydrated wheat berries, the little coffee grinder just wasn’t up to the task. A grain grinder is on my wish list. ...
