🥫 If your garden is overflowing, canning is one of the best ways to stay self-reliant and keep food safe for months. But do it wrong, and you risk botulism. The University of Kentucky explains the key rules:

– Use boiling-water bath canning only for high-acid foods like fruits, pickles, and tomatoes with added lemon or vinegar.
– For low-acid foods like vegetables, meats, and soups, always use a pressure canner.
– Follow tested recipes from trusted sources, not old family shortcuts.
– Don’t reuse flat lids, and make sure jars are sealed with the right headspace.

Canning done right keeps you independent and less dependent on fragile supply chains.

Onions Boost Testosterone

"Collectively, there is evidence that onion or onion extracts enhance testosterone production in males."

I dare you to eat a raw onion today. 🧅

We use Wisdom homeschooling which is formed in a way around the Socratic method to build them in their critical thinking skills. The website can be found here.
They use a lot of tools from "Classical Education" to form them based on their environment.

I use a lot of independent resources for my children. I know of homeschooling programs for French, Spanish, culinary skills, and music. Most of these have toddler resources which is AMAZING when starting early.

I am in the process of forming homeschooling curriculum for children based on manners and tying the actions to moral theology. There doesn't seem to be any good moral character forming curriculum out there. I am making the curriculum based on a Montessori approach, rooted in Scripture/ Catechism/ Church teaching references, and using 1800 etiquette manuals to bring back all the manners our generation has forgotten about over the years. If you would like to be on the waitlist, I would love to share it with you and you can sign up here.

Let me know if you have any questions. I would love to help out more where I can.

📚 Homeschooling vs Public School: Why More Parents Are Choosing Freedom in Education 🏠

Public schools are built on one-size-fits-all systems. Homeschooling, on the other hand, gives families the freedom to design an education that truly fits their child.

✅ Personalized learning at your child’s pace
✅ A safe, supportive environment free from bullying
✅ Flexibility to travel, explore, and make real-world learning part of daily life
✅ Stronger family bonds and shared values
✅ More time to teach critical thinking and life skills instead of endless test prep

Yes, it’s a commitment—but with online resources, support networks, and modern curricula, homeschooling has never been more accessible.
