Ep 145. Simple Back to School Shifts for Homesteading


Listen Later

Back-to-school brings a natural rhythm shift, and on the homestead, that means it’s time to simplify. In this episode, we share the practical ways we’re keeping things easy during this transition—like freezing instead of canning, packing simple lunches, and leaning on streamlined morning routines. We’re also talking about cozying our home for the season, preparing for the inevitable back-to-school germs, and making space for what truly matters right now.

And because mamas need support too, we highlight our brand-new Back-to-School Herbal Tea recipe—a calming blend of tulsi, lemon balm, chamomile, and ginger that helps bring balance during this busy season.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why we’re freezing produce instead of canning right now

  • Our approach to packing school lunches without the overwhelm

  • Simple morning routines that actually work

  • How we’re cozying our home and preparing for seasonal transitions

  • A sneak peek at our Back-to-School Tea recipe for stressed-out moms

    👉 Check out the full recipe here: Back-to-School Tea
