It’s Simple Lives Thursday! My favorite day of the week where you share your tips and recipes for living a simple life. Whichever blog that you choose to link up your post, it will show up on all 5 sites! As a reminder, this blog hop is a way to share with many people your posts on what you are doing to live a simple life. Whether that’s gardening, raising urban chickens, homeschooling, sewing, making your own deodorant, or cleaning supplies… we want to know about it! If you’re into homeopathy, ways to save $ by conserving energy or other ways to live frugally… we want to know about it! If you bike, cook real food, homestead or farm… we want to know about it!

Please read and follow the Simple Lives Thursday bloghop rules
1. If linking real, traditional and simple recipes, please make sure all ingredients used are whole. Such as whole grains, vegetables, legumes, meats, even sugar. In order to keep the integrity of “nourishing” food, we will delete any recipes that utilize processed, boxed foods. We are definitely not going to be ingredient policeman, however, please note that this is a hop hosted by advocates of the real, local and sustainable food movements.
2. Please link your posts back to one of the hosting blogs. This is a common blog hop courtesy. This link helps build the Simple Lives Thursday community by sending your readers to all of the other participants posts. We all end up sharing and learning from each other.
Featured Posts from Last Week’s Submissions
We really enjoy reading your posts each week! Featured post bloggers, please grab the badge above and display it on your site! Link it to one of the host blogs’ posts for the specific week that you were featured.
Here are our picks from last week’s submissions. Thanks to all who participated — it is always hard to choose!
1. Infused Olive Oils and Vinegars by the intentional minimalist.
A great collection of recipes for infusing your own olive oil and vinegar.
2. Fighting Blight: A Fermented Recipe by Food Farm Health.
Fermenting foods adds good bacteria to our bodies but it’s beneficial effects became even more obvious when this blogger put it on her blight – ridden tomato plants.
3. Chai Tea Concentrate by The Elliott Homestead.
Shaye made her own chai tea concentrate for around $2, saving $5 over the market’s $7 price tag — and hers probably serves more. Plus, we love that you can avoid boiling your precious raw milk by combining the concentrate with cold raw milk and blending it with ice for a cool, summer iced chai.
4. Getting the Children Involved – Homemade Perfume by Jo’s Health Corner.
Great recipes to making your own homemade perfume using essential oils for stimulant, relaxing or antiseptic effects.
5. Meet Our First Dairy Sheep, Dorothy! by Butter Believer.
This author shares in her excitement as she adds a sheep for milk to her homestead.

I love a hot cup of coffee in the morning. Spanish and Mexican food live in my corazón. I love to sit at a bar in Spain with nothing to do but breathe in the Spanish air. I love listening to my children laugh and to teach them new things. I love to play in the dirt and have an insatiable appetite to create. Most importantly, I love Jesus and am on a journey to living a simple life.

Could anyone tell me where I could get fresh fruits & veggies cheap? My garden did not do very good this year. Our tomatos got blight. I was excited to see the post about blight & will have to try it out! We live just outside of Des Moines & I am willing to travel a little ways to be able to stock up on some of these fresh fruit & veggie items! Thanks for any help! Love your blog!
