Welcome to Homestead Mommas!

We are a group of Christian women striving to live according to the Christian principles of simplicity, frugality, generosity and simple living. We are wanting to learn more about the homesteading or agrarian lifestyle and raise our children according to old-fashioned values.

This community is for newbies, as well as seasoned homesteading women. We need Titus 2 type women to help instruct us newbies in the fine art of homesteading!

Topic of discussion will include all homesteading type subjects: farming, gardening, animal care, how-tos, soap making, cheese making, and old fashioned wisdom

What's for dinner? Thanksgiving dinner that is...

Because Thanksgiving is all about THE meal! There is so much going on at Christmas, and more opportunities for eating, the dinner is just part of one mass eating frenzy. Add New Year's Eve dinner (the traditional holiday feasting time in Greece) and it is perfectly clear why our family has no desire to see a la… Continue

Wooly Worm Weather

They are also called wooly bears.

Old Farmer's Almanac ~ A Quiet Sun, A Cold Winter

A Quiet Sun, a Cold Winter

This year and next, sunspot activity will be very, very light. Whenever this phenomenon has occurred in the past, the result has been a cooling influence on Earth. Solar experts believe that the Sun will remain calm for another year.
See sunspot activity for 2009.

Robert B. Thomas, who founded this Almanac in 1792, believed that… Continue
