THRIFT With Me and Create a PREPARED Home on a Budget!
Getting your house in order doesn't have to mean breaking the bank! Come thrift we me as we chat about what is happening to our food systems, what we need to prepare and what we can expect in the years to come.
When we are prepared we don't have to live in fear and we can create a beautiful prepare home outside the normal box of traditional home finishes that off gas and cause a lot of harm and pollution in the home.

I like that pot of beans and collards and YES to more broth😂 and some spicy German cornbread lol❣️🕊️🙏🏽MUCH LOVE to you and yours
I have also been hearing the same message of “ get your house in order “ … I’ve been calling it “ getting my ducks in a row “😊 but I have felt a urgency to get some of my loose ends tied up and try to have a plan for my future ❤
Much love to you, sweet sister, WE are all in this together, I’m in Hawaii, but I found you in a hurricane. The importance of staying in your calm and balance, not giving into fear, shines through all that you do. This really is…the “Dawning of the age of Aquarius, people in their own hearts chosing….LOVE. simple. Right? When we all choose love together, it’s world changing!
I had a bad feeling about 2020 as soon as the clock struck midnight on New Years. I even told those around me because I’d never experienced anything like it before. It was an overwhelming feeling of dread. That feeling hasn’t really gone away since. I have been concerned about what’s been happening with the food industry for a while now. There’s not a lot that I can eat, and even still, a lot of what I can just doesn’t agree with me, and I know why, but that’s a whole other thing. I do feel very threatened by a lot of what I’ve heard, though.
We don’t want to live in fear, because it is a spirit, but I agree that it’s hard not to feel that something is way off.
Closed Captions did a good job of covering what you were saying on the drive!
Thank you🌸
I still don t have the “okay go” to post my real thoughts and research about the big food and farmah .In 2016 I kept having “19” dreams until it ended up in my journals and then constant prayer life. By the beginning of 2020 I stopped talking for 3 months bc talking about anything seemed such a waste of time and energy. I put away the notepad and started started taking with people again when the “stay 🏠 ” started. Because people needed encouragement, comfort, and exhortation. So, my sense of right now is that we have been given a reprieve, and more time to “get out houses in order” . Never breath a sigh of relief after a victory. Stay sober, alert and PRAY . Thank you for posting today , I was looking to hear from you bc I am always encouraged to keep going, and appreciate your gifting for content creation. Godspeed friend
God bless 🫂
Thank you!! You are so right, we are being given a reprieve and more time to prepare. God is good!!
I love your antique stores!!!
Thank you, this was fun to go with you to the stores! I have more to say about other topics, but just trying to feel better after muscle strain, so I’ll put my mind to that after this has passed. Thank you so much!
I hope you feel better and I would love to hear your thoughts!
You are so right on! I feel like I’m always prepping some here and there, but I have my husband out in the garage and we are busy. I’m 62 but feel like I’m nesting, and that is very instinctual. My feeling is better be ready for anything and I am very focused right now! God Bless You Stephanie for sharing and teaching us. I always walk away with a lesson from you and other like minded people.
🙏🏻😇
You should always wash with a safe soap the avocado skin in fact all skins of fruits and veggies before you cut through them so you don’t transfer the bacteria or anything else into the flesh of the produce. Just thought you should know, maybe you already did that 😊.
Pray, prep and be peaceful. Use discrement. Too quiet right now. Election not certified. You are spot on. Thanks for all assist with Helene
Too quiet for sure!
Not certified???? I thought it was..
Europe does not allow all the dyes and chemicals in their foods. We need that here in the US. Our processed foods are making us sick. But I do want real meat not something grown in a Lab.
So grateful for your channel! Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching!
I am still in constant prayer. God has granted us an extension of grace but He is waiting to see what we will do. He is smiling at the love being shown during this time after Helene. However the battle is far from over, (even though we know who wins). I am trying to learn as much as I can about living a sustainable lifestyle, as fast as I can. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and your life. Your knowledge and videos are inspiring. Learning is a process that never ends.
Thank you! That’s right! Learning and proceeding forward in action is the best we can do. Aside from prayer!
Thanks !I love thrifting!Also keep your message going, so many people need to hear it.
That “apple cider press” looked more like a sausage press to me. You would load the washed hog casings on the tube at the bottom and turn the press to fill the casings, pinching and twisting the casing to form links.
My grandmother loaded casings onto an elk’s horn and pushed the meat through with her thumbs. My parents loaded casings onto a hand held tube and pushed the meat through with a wooden plunger. The press in the antique shop would have been used for bigger production of sausages like in a small butcher shop.
Apple presses would have had a shorter pouring spout coming off a ring that would collect juice from around the entire base of the apple press. Right now the idea of ground apples mixed with ground pork in a sausage casing sounds really good. Maybe apples, onions cabbage and pork together.
Our family would make Swedish potato sausage for Christmas every year. 1/3 pork, 1/3 onion, 1/3 waxy potatoes. The ingredients would be ground by pressing all three raw ingredients through a metal plate with holes. Raw ingredients would be hand mixed and pressed into hog casings, then gently simmered until all ingredients were cooked. As the contents did not solidify, it was fun to squish the contents out with our teeth. The flavors of ginger, allspice, pepper and salt were unforgettable. The elk’s horn turned to dust and the hand crank grinder went missing and it was soon replaced by a KitchenAid. I hold all the sounds and smells and images and tastes fondly in my memory.
RETAIL THERAPY! ❤
I could smell white pepper, nutmeg and banana peppers when you lifted the pot lid. Yum.
If you listen to Joel Salatin’s Beyond the Labels channel, he and Dr. Sina both said they don’t want to create a Nanny State. I think they just want truth in labeling, and a change in how the government props up or incentivizes parts of the food industry like subsidies for soybeans or corn used for ethanol. When regenerative farmers are given the subsidies instead, the cost of a pasture raised chicken is gonna come down. Salatin is actually a big proponent of food choice, so I imagine all the Cheetos and Oreos and crap will still be available, but better labeled… and the public better educated. Additionally, when there is more government incentive for monocroping, you’ll get monocroping. I’m hoping with changes, more people will offer wholesome foods, bringing the cost down when the supply is more plentiful. And I am a non-believer in any organized religion but I do believe in good and evil, and it was not hard to sense the evil closing in. I feel a reprieve since last Tuesday, but I think this is the calm before the storm. But weird things are happening like lab monkeys escaping in SC and 350 FEMA trucks being staged in rural Michigan and residents told not to worry, but not being told why they are there. Stay vigilant and stay frosty!
For a single day 29 February 2020 I heard about a huge carved angel being exhibited at a beach near me and went to see it. Honestly looking back and even on the day it felt like a portent – I was unsettled anyway at the time. That angel stayed in my head! I had everything stocked up before the lockdown hit. I feel big changes ahead and have a low level unsettled feeling again. I’m not in the US so I’ve been following the flood disaster in Spain. Our weather patterns are changing.
If the Avocado is ripe and you don’t care if it is a little smashed you can squeeze the stem part with your palms until it cracks open, press with your palms in the center until it pops open, tear it open and the seed will drop out.
