At 72 n not the best health. I do what I can when I’m able. Some days accomplish a lot. Some days not so much. God is blessing me with the ability to reach my goals. Some days it’s ALL God!!!!!
Most people who work learn time management skills to get their job done. It’s kind of the same principle when you start working for yourself at home(canning, gardening, herbs…). I work harder now than I did when I was an admin assistant for a vp of a major food service chain. It pays less in money but the rewards are priceless! You were my inspiration to get started and I really think God led me to find you. Shalom my friend!
Nobody can do it all. Know your resources and limitations and give it all you've got.
Oh, gosh yes to the baby steps!! I'm so guilty of biting off more than I can chew with different things then having to spit some out because I just can't. It can be a hard lesson but once you learn it...well no haha I still overwhelm myself at times!
And AMEN to time management!! I remember one lady getting her panties in a wad because people would ask her how she does 5 billion things in a day and gets it all done. In a shrill voice she shrieked, "I get up earlier!" Then laughed as if it was the stupidest question to ever be asked.
I think this is a disingenuous answer, as many people already do get up quite early. We all get 24 hours in a day but we all have different things to do, different tasks that require various time commitments, and different priorities. We all have various amounts of assistance (including none), we all have different physical abilities that may help or hinder us, and we all have other differences I've not mentioned because I think anyone reading this gets what I'm trying to say. Time management is more important than simply having more time. It's a skill, like any other, that takes time (haha) and practice to improve upon. Many need to be taught this skill, as it is not innate for some individuals. Thank you for talking about it.
God Bless one bite at a time
I make a daily list. What doesn't get done in the time I allow myself gets added to the next days list. It all eventually gets done.
Things can get overwhelming at times, especially this time of year with veggies growing and so many herbs and flowers to harvest and dry.
Time management - I certainly learned that right down to the minute back when I was 40, and decided to go back to school. I had two jobs, one 'real' one, and one work/study. I didn't watch tv for about six years. Now things are easier, and here on my farm I start my day with the NOAA weather report and my paper calendar to see if there is a webinar or zoom on my schedule (learning things every day). In really hot weather, I get the most necessary things done outside first. I water inside my hoop house every day - no rain inside there! My animal chores come first, too. Things like vacuuming wait until it's rainy or too hot. Winter is a different story. Learn to prioritize. If I've been working hard outside and need to sit down, that is when I can learn about herbs. I grew up with people who gardened and canned, and a couple years ago, I added to that with learning about sweet potatoes. They are not better quality than ones I can buy in the store, but I put in four plants this year just to keep up the process of starting slips. One sweet potato with about six slips - I planted the whole thing instead of letting the slips root in water. Experimenting while times are good. Like Heidi, I do not, and haven't for years, go to movies, out to eat, or on a vacation. I've actually never gone on an actual vacation, and I don't really want to. My vacation is my farm and my animals, my little haven. A perfect day is not having to go to an appointment or into town for something.
Social media sure does suck you in. 😕 Thanks for the encouragement Heidi, Happy Thursday 🌞🌼🌸🏵️
I got rid of my cell phone and got back about 20 hours a week of my time without even hardly trying. I have more peace and get so much more done.
@@utopicconfections5257 That's great.🤗 I haven't been online as much lately and it does make a difference in the quality of your daily life. 👍🌞
Lol I made a comment about making time for myself…and you talk about it in your very next video 🙂
I like to have videos playing while I stitch (cross stitch) and whilst doing indoor household chores. I learn so much from people like you, plus I enjoy the “company” 🙂
God bless you heaps, Heidi 🪴🫙
I saw that in my dashboard comment section (where all comments from any video or post show up) and I had to double take because I thought it was on this video but I do not think it had published at that moment, haha
...while I work. The ultimate multitasking! ❤😊
It's sometimes a minute at a time! I can't do it all, that why I have friends that I can trade with! It takes a village ❤
Singing to the choir! Moment by moment will get it done.
I struggle with time management because I share my time with the hubby lol..but yes social media sucks you in. I watch a couple homestead tubers & I always wonder how they can put out 2-3 videos, some short, plus do all they say they do & have perfectly clean homes etc..I need to be more disciplined on time management. Thanks for the encouragement
Thank you for putting things into perspective. It does get overwhelming because every medicinal plant has SO MANY uses.
Lately, I've been letting "weeds" grow and identify them before getting rid of moving them. I have learned a lot by doing this.
I have the brake bleeder in my car but saved it for later because I'm not sure how to use it.
Thanks to you and Heidi V, I've learned tons over the past few years. I appreciate that you share your thoughts, processes, discoveries and even mistakes. You are my absolute favorite go to for herbs and food preservation. 💙
Thank you Heidi! A favorite mixed media artist I took classes with years ago would always say... "you start by starting"... I always remembered that. xo
I love to watch you while I sew for charity. I have asthma so many (weather days) I cant work outside. So I clean a little and sit down to sew and watch my favorite inspiration. Thank you for ALL you do. Susan
You are absolutely amazing. Thank you for the daily inspiration.

Heidi, thank you for this encouraging video, it is true, that those learning things later into the game, feel like we have to do as much as possible, as soon as possible. Yet, there is so much to learn and that is completely unrealistic. Makes me wonder if you are always so calm, but maybe you have learned balance and how not to be distracted by things that waste time. God bless you.
Always calm? Most certainly not! I certainly have my days where I allow myself to feel overwhelmed, especially when I have all three grandbabies and they are all grumpy or in need of attention and I am trying to get my video editing done. I have to remind myself I am ahead on my videos for just such reasons and they are more important than being that far ahead and just enjoy them
Choose your battles.
Almost 20 years ago now I began my lessons on medicinal and edible wild plants with plantain and wood sorrel. Today I am still learning, and I’m delighted every time I find a new plant and some new uses for that plant! The journey is fun! Thanks for a good video.
Thanks for sharing . It helps that you're self motivated. There isn't a lot of that with folks anymore. They have too many conveniences so they've become lazy.
This is true but if they have the desire, they can start weaning themselves off of those things and working towards being more self reliant
Very encouraging! Thank you Heidi! Blessings Kiddo!🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕
Good morning Heidi! So nice to see your smiling face first thing this morning. Thank you for the encouragement, I really need it this morning. Enjoy your day❤
Great advice Heidi. To me one of my greatest challenges is time management and not blaming myself for what I don’t accomplish.
I hear ya'!
I'm so happy it's where you can keep grandbabies ❤
I keep a note book to write down what works and what doesn't while making salves, tinctures, vinegar's etc or what I'm growing. Helps me trim down my to do list and keep track of what works and what I grow. I also make notes on various things to keep me organized so I don't get overwhelmed.
We've not had t.v. since 2012, only got a subscription from a company for internet 6 months ago. The only reason I gave in to paying extra for that is to watch and learn from utube. I had only 1 bar on my cell to watch people like you on utube videos, from where we live remotely in the mtns. I had watched your channel for years but only when I had a good signal. I have never wasted time with facebook, but I have seen some of other people on there and decided it's waste of my time.
You are an inspiration.
I have been doing this in baby steps. I have my homestead going and I have 3 chickens…but although I love my chickens, when they finish out their lives, I don’t think I will be replacing them! It’s a lot of work for the eggs I get and I think I would rather just buy eggs from someone else than raising my own. I would rather be able to travel more and spend more time on my garden and other things…like sewing or something.
Each year I try to learn how to seed save 1-2 more plants. At first it was just squash or tomato seeds but I've worked up to quite a few. This year I'm learning how to seed save carrots (who knew they'd grow to over 6 feet tall?). I like to infuse oils with herbs but the jars end up sitting for 6 months until I have down time to make a lotion. I'm okay with it. I think the best advise it to be curious, ask 'what if I...." or "what happens when..." or "how do I..." If you have just a couple of hours a week, take 5-10 min throughout the week leading up to those hours and read a couple things, get ingredients and when the day comes have fun. It's okay if it fails, what did you learn? If your jelly failed, well now you have pancake and icecream syrup. Find the win.
Heidi, I get exhausted just pondering all that you do and your many talents such as that of a seamstress and your karate stuff.
Thanks, Heidi. I have learned so much from you. ❤
I so agree with you. I started with a few things then added something each year. Then before you knew it as of today I harvest 15 lbs of potatoes at no cost to me. I'm making comfrey and plantain oil for salves. It happens more quickly than you can even imagine. I always tell everyone that you don't know what your capable to do unless you try. Take one thing at a time and amaze yourself 😊
I forage most my herbs. Yes it’s a lot of work but I just take it a day at a time. ❤
One step at a time! Have a blessed day!!
A little at a time!!! Day by day!
Do the best job one can. Time management is key (being perfect with everything holds one back). Ask for help.
Thank you for the Playlist. I know the social media can be a time suck... but I am sick. I have a ton of work piling up. And being able to sit still, learn about herbs, vinegar, and soaps and lotions while I am couch-bound curled up in a hoodie and electric blanket in 88° weather.... it makes me feel like "well, at least I'm learning something useful!"
Right! I have been there too.
Thank you. Feeling overwhelmed today. Needed this today.❤
You have the most beautiful skin. Thanks for sharing all your tips.
Thank you Heidi! I say bit by bit, a little bit now and then.
Amazes me that herbs that are good are good for a variety of things n interchangeable for uses.
Thank you Heidi so much for sharing your wisdom & experience with us, I really appreciate it, God bless 🥰💞🙏💞
Thanks for uplifting me today! I'm encouraged!
Thanks Heidi 😊 ❤❤
Heidi.. thank you for the encouragement. Not only that it was a very pretty video. I agree about starting with one or two herbs and things a little at a time. If you don't feel stressed out it's enjoyable and you will stay with it . ❤🙏
Food and water are very important. Rain catchment water can be treated with pool shock. And boiling. We have 130 days until election. We all need to step up on our priorities water, food, medicine and medical, then gardening and canning supplies. Then weapons and ammunition.
Excellent advice Heidi 👩🌾❣🙏 another great video. Have a blessed day sweet lady. That blouse and accessories ok so pretty on you. Great color choice.😊
Hey Heidi 🥰💞🙏💞🙏💞
Great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and encouragement! I've been watching a herablist, and he suggests making a list of 12 herbs that interest you and take 1 month and learn about 1 herb. At the end of the year, you'll have a great foundation! That's what I'm doing this year. I'm starting with what is growing wild on my homestead. I've already got Mullen, Yarrow, Elderberry, Burdock, and Chicory on the list ! 😊
Thank you, Heidi. Good advice. 😃
Hi Heidi Thank you for all your information Love your videos. I dont get to watch all of them but when I do im always left filled with good information ❤ Palms 19
Ive been asking myself how does Heidi do it all? since I found your channel Lol I know it takes time and I admire your knowledge and creative skills as well like your skirts and other beautiful useful things you create
Thank you so very much, I always feel better after watching your content 🤗
Blessings 🙏
Thank you Heidi! 💜
Step by step we learn...😊 and your advice, given in such a kind way, is a great help for me...
Wonderful video, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
If there is a will, there is a way!!! Thanks for all that you do, I have followed you since my mid 20's.. I feel alone at times with my lifestyle....
You are not alone! Go with your convictions😊
Do you make and use fermented honey garlic?
Great advice!
Thank you!
One bite at a time ❤
I apparently have a little OCD. IF I’m growing it I put up ALL OF IT. I have wild lettuce Coming out my ears and still have plenty in yard. Came to realization I have more than enough for years. lol. Still having hard time not putting up the rest of it. My mind goes to. Well God gave it to me. What if it doesn’t grow well in years to come?? Someone else may need some. OCD.
Hi Heidi 👋🏻
Pretty good
I work full time and struggle with trying to get everything done in a day. Thank you for sharing. I was feeling overwhelmed thinking that I need to learn and do it all at once. On another note, your skin is lovely. Do you have a video on your skin care routine? I turned 60 this year and my skin feels dry, but when I try to moisturize, I get breakouts.

@@RainCountryHomestead Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Are you sure there isn't a download I can sign up for?😂
I wish! haha
❤
Can you freeze raw just picked leaves to dehydrate for tea in a month or two? Ty. I know you have refrigerated but what about in my chest freezer? Ty
I would just lay them out on a screen and dry as you go.
When I weed, I often get some nice young dandelion, maybe 2 or 3 plants. I lay them out to dry and add them to the jar of dried and chopped dandelion I have in storage.
One doesn't after 30 yrs. of asking for help fr lazy husband !
😊
👍
🥰
I think oregano plants only live a few years. They self-sow tho.
My oregano is about 10 years old
@RainCountryHomestead yup, grows like a weed. I rip some out after I collected and saved.
🥰🤍
