REMINDER TO THE TWITTER REFUGEES THAT TUMBLR IS AN INTERACTIVE SITE.

See how your dashboard is covered in posts? Yeah, that's because people reblogged them. Reblog posts. Reblog artwork and gifsets and text posts. If you like a post, reblog it.

"Oh but I'm nervous about social interaction" reblogging isn't social interaction. It's not. Its only interactive if you add a comment or something to it. Otherwise, it's adding things to a virtual scrapbook by yeeting the additions into a swirling vortex. No interaction necessary. Someone makes a post you like, you reblog it, that's it. Job done. Zero interaction, but a post has made it one step further in finding its way to people that might enjoy it.

Reblog stuff. For fucks sake.

10 Reasons to Grow Thyme

1. Thyme is a low maintenance hardy perennial. Thyme thrives in dry and rocky areas, helps with soil erosion, and can withstand drought and freezing temperatures easily. It also grows well in a pot, whether indoors or out!

2. Thyme attracts pollinators. It's beautiful white, pink, or light purple flowers makes them attractive to many pollinators: bumblebees, honey bees, mason bees, and leafcutter bees all love thyme plants.

3. Thyme naturally repels pests. Lacewings love to lay their eggs on the leaves of thyme plants, and lacewings eat all kinds of garden pests like aphids, cabbage moth caterpillars, and whiteflies. Thyme essential oil also repels mosquitoes and ticks when applied topically.

4. Thyme pairs well with savory flavors. It can act as a backdrop or the star flavor in a recipe. Thyme goes well with lots of foods, I personally love it with mushrooms like chanterelles!

5. Thyme can be used in sweet baked goods. Thyme's citus-like herby flavor pairs naturally with sweet ingredients. It has just enough flavor to brighten up baked goods, especially in dessert recipes with lemon.

6. Thyme supports the immune system. Thyme is an excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin A, both of which play a critical role in immune function.

7. Thyme promotes healthy digestion. Thyme has long been recognized for it's ability to promote healthy digestion and appetite as well as counteract gas, diarrhea, nausea, and colic.

8. Thyme is antimicrobial and antifungal. Thyme is a natural source of thymol, a chemical compound with strong antiseptic properties. When combined with a carrier oil, thyme essential oil can treat common fungal growths like athelete's foot and ringworm.

9. Thyme soothes sore throats and coughs. Thyme has natural antispasmodic and bronchodilator properties and is excellent for soothing persistent coughs.

10. Thyme is good for oral health. Historically thyme has been used to treat symptoms of gingivitis, tooth decay, and plaque formation. Many commercial mouthwashes already contain thymol!

How to Make Money from a Mini Farm

Chickens, Ducks, Quail

Eggs for Eating – You can sell your eggs to your friends, family, neighbors or farmer’s market. I wrote more about that here – Selling Eggs From Your Backyard Homestead. You’ll get the best price for free-range or pastured eggs.

Fertile Eggs – If you’re able to have a rooster on your property you may find a a business selling fertile eggs for others to set in their incubators. You’ll get more money for rare or popular breeds so do a little research on what people are looking for in your area.

Day Old Chicks or Ducklings –  Some homesteaders do not want to deal with incubation. They’d prefer to to buy young chicks for their brooder. You should also check with your local feed stores – they make be interested in carrying chicks, quail and ducklings; and on a regular basis.

Rabbits

Fiber Rabbits – I see more and more homesteaders spinning their own yarn. I believe fiber rabbits may become even more popular in the next few years. You can sell the rabbits or just their fibers (which does not require dispatching them). You’ll need a mentor to show you how to properly harvest the hair from your fiber rabbits for sale.  See Raising Fiber Rabbits.

Pet Rabbits – As a mom that was bent on only raising meat rabbits, I still got suckered into a little pet Lionhead. Pet rabbits are fun and many seek them as alternatives to cats and dogs in the house. Lionheads are particularly popular with kids because of their sweet temperaments and fluff.

Rabbit Droppings – Yep, you CAN sell rabbit poop. Gardeners love that rabbit droppings can be composted or put right into their gardens for as a fertilizer. You can sell it by the bag full – and if you have a rabbit you know how much just one can produce each day.

Worms & Compost

Meal Worms – I can tell you my chickens and quail have always loved receiving fresh and dried meal worms as a treat. And raising meal worms is fairly easy. You can have a market through direct sales to owners of poultry, pet birds and pet lizards; but you may also have pet stores who will buy your stock.

Red Wigglers – Great for vermicomposting and fishing, red wigglers are a popular worm that you can grow for your own use as well as for sale. See How to Get Started Raising Red Wigglers.

Compost – From worm castings to compost for planting; if you have extra to sell you will quickly have a market.

Herbs

Sell fresh herb plants or cuttings – If you have the space to grow herbal transplants in small pot this can be a viable business. Also cuttings for people to dry for their own use, is another option.

Sell dried herbs – Or sell your herbs already dried and packaged.

Make your own herbal teas for sale – Do you make tea blends? You can make some from your own herbs or ones you purchase.

Garden

Seeds – Do you save seeds? You may have a market for selling your own seeds, especially if they are organic and/or heirloom varieties.

Transplants – I always seem to have more pepper and tomato seedlings than I really need. If you do too, or you want to do it on purpose, you could offer seedlings up for sales. Some people just don’t want to wait on seeds when they are planning and planting their gardens.

Fruit and Vegetables – Check your local rules and regulations first; but selling your excess harvest can bring a good income in. If you have enough, you may want to consider a booth at your local farmer’s market.

From Your Kitchen

If you’re skilled in the kitchen and have the time to produce extras, you might be able to sell your goods. You’ll need to see what laws there are about selling foods and see if you can meet the standards of your state first.

Jams, Jellies and other Canned Goods

Artisan Cheeses

Fresh Baked Breads

Starters for sourdough, kombucha, keifer, etc.

Crafts

This could be an entire post on it’s own because handmade items are popular at locally, in farmer’s markets and even online. If you have a gift for crafts you might just have a budding business right at your fingertips!

Homespun Yarn – Knitters and crocheters appreciate homespun yarn for their special projects.

Candles – Make candles in cute containers for sale. Or offer candles made from special ingredients like your homegrown beeswax.

Soaps, Lotions, Salves and Balms – If you love to make these handmade personal items you could have a wonderful business! Consider using locally grown / sourced, organic or specialty items whenever possible.

Needlecrafts – Do you sew? You could make reusable pads or offer mending or tailoring services. Do you knit or crochet? Make afghans, scarves, sweaters, or even wash clothes for sale! Do you quilt? Make handmade quilts to order and you could make a nice profit.

Woodworking – If you’re willing to practice woodworking, there are many products you could make and offer for sale. For best profits consider using woods offered for free or inexpensive scraps.

🧺 how to be a homemaker while working 🧺

it’s been a while since i’ve posted, mostly because i’ve been incredibly busy working full-time. however, i still try to fulfill my role as a homemaker, and i’ve found several tips that help me maintain a clean, beautiful and well-managed home :)

tip one: make your home beautiful! you can buy fresh flowers, gather herbs and dry them (which will also make your home smell nice!), buy pretty dishes or decorations from the thrift store or find other ways to beautify your home in little ways. these don’t have to be expensive, they just need to make your home feel inviting and welcoming!

tip two: create a cleaning schedule. instead of giving up on chores until you have to spend hours cleaning, have certain days for doing certain chores. for example, i do laundry on mondays and clean the kitchen on tuesdays. keeping a schedule encourages consistency and keeps the chores from piling up and becoming overwhelming!

tip 3: write out a meal plan! knowing what you plan to cook each day eliminates the stress of figuring out a meal the day you plan to make it. it also makes it easier to go grocery shopping (because you know what ingredients you’ll need) and enables you to prepare what you need in advance.

tip 4: if you have a partner, devote one night a week to a date night! you could dress nicely and go out to eat, or stay at home and have intentional quality time. this has made a huge difference in my own relationship.

🌼have a lovely day🌼

to be content to live in a world full of chaos. to see the small joys of life and know - they may be fleeting, and they may not be yours - they are there. eternal happiness exists for no one, but there is always some happiness to be found, you simply have to look.
