I am really excited for today’s ​Simple Living Made Simple Podcast​ guest!

In this week’s episode, I got to speak with Alicia DeVore from ​Create My Garden​.

We talked all about growing gardens and kids. This was such a fun episode because it was recorded early in the gardening season and even though I am just releasing it now, it is still relevant and timely.

You can check out Alicia on ​Instagram​ or at her blog ​Create My Garden​.

Alicia DeVore is a garden teacher/coach and the founder of the blog Create Your Garden where she teaches people how to make gardening a part of their lives with simple systems that make gardening easy. Alicia is based in California where she has grown gardens for the past 10 years for herself and others. But her gardening knowledge has helped many from all over the world.

She uses the garden to teach how to practically grow a successful garden without spending lots of time. Simplifying the process of gardening for those that live in small spaces or large to make sure that they can grow their own organic food.

Thank you for sticking it out here while I was gone! It has been a busy couple of months!

I took a little hiatus after I gave birth to our fifth in April and it took much longer than expected to get back to it.

My evenings and mornings have been unpredictable and I can never guarantee I will have time available to do work on the podcast or social media. We are starting to all settle back into a schedule so that is great!

In this episode, I share with you updates from our garden, what I am doing to stay sane during this busy season, and some of the projects we are working on.

Listen to this short and sweet episode anywhere you listen to your favorite podcasts!

If you follow any homesteaders on Instagram or You Tube, you may have heard of  Azure Standard Market .

I have tried it out a few times and I talk all about it in today’s episode. I talk about how it works, what a drop location is, and the things I have ordered!

Azure Standard is great for ordering bulk goods to cook from scratch and build your food supply. This short and sweet episode should help you place your first Azure Standard order if you are interested!

You can get started with your first order here:  Azure Standard Market 

Have you ever prepared venison or elk? I certainly have not! That is why I invited Danielle from the Homebound Hippie to the podcast this week.

Danielle is wonderful at cooking with wild game and I learned so much during this interview.

She gives a ton of information about how to get started cooking with wild game and sheds light on how different it may or may not be from chicken or beef.

Danielle from the Homebound Hippe is a full time homemaker and homesteader living a slow and simple life with her husband in the rural wilderness of Washington State on family land, 7 acres of backwoods country passed down 4 generations. Her experience as a hunter’s wife has led her to a life centered on hunting; fishing, homesteading, and of course good home cooked food.

You can find Danielle over on her blog: The Homebound Hippie and over on Instagram at the Homebound Hippie
