From Mason Jars to Money Markets: Your Path to Total Independence
Create a life that doesn’t require approval. Period!
Hey! I’m glad you stopped by!
I’m Holly…you might know me as the girl who likes to budget, or the girl who’s into gardening, or the girl who likes to think outside the box. If you don’t know me already, welcome!
Here we talk about all things to help you become self-sufficient:
Financial Freedom
Growing and Preserving Food
Off-Grid Living
Sustainable Energy
Homesteading
Emergency Preparedness
Community is what makes us independent
Financial Freedom
This is where we start! Knowing how to budget and save money will absolutely change your life! I do not want you to be stressed out about money – there IS a better way, I promise! I only have my mortgage left to pay, but I’m able to make HUGE payments! Being financially independent is the foundation of a self-sufficient life.
Growing and Preserving Food
We are passionate about consuming homegrown or locally sourced food and showing you the best ways to preserve it. Harmful chemicals are unnecessary – my garden is doing just fine without them and yours can too!
Off-Grid Living
If your electricity goes out, do you have a backup plan? What about your heat or air conditioning? What would happen if you turned your faucet on and no water came out? Let’s look at some holistic options so you can better rely on yourself and not “the system”.
Sustainable Energy
If you don’t want to dive right into off-grid living and are more interested in using technology to save money on utilities, these sustainable energy options can help, while still being connected to your local grid.
Homesteading
Do you want to start your own little farm? Or maybe you’re looking to expand what you already have. Here you will find some great tips on how to use herbs to make holistic medicine, care for livestock, homeschooling, cook from scratch, and much more!
Emergency Preparedness
Long-term food storage, water filtration and purification, first aid kits, bug-out bags – these are some of the essentials when it comes to being prepared for an emergency. Let’s face it, situations like this are unfortunately happening more frequently these days.
