We got a project!
•
We are building a rack for our black Costco bins.
•
I love the people I know who forwarded me the metal one from Costco for $280. I so appreciate the looking out.
•
My OG plan was to have mine be 5 high… but that would have been ridiculous! I am putting mine on castors so I can move it. It is going to live under my deck. So in case whatever I can roll it around.
•
Because of my change in plans I had more wood than needed and built a bucket tower as well for vertical planting since those savage mini Dino’s in my back yard eat everything!
•
I have a 2x3 and 2x4 to return. I would have had 2 more 2x3’s… but already cut them.
•
We are also going to put a skin on the top and back of this rack for added protection. That is the only thing I have left to buy.
•
Thus far I have spent $148. By the time this project is complete I will have spent $100+ less than the metal retail version and mine will be moveable and have some covering.
•
This will be the trial version. Odds are good my shed will get cleared out and 2 of these will be built on the walls with some sort of 3rd on wheels to move from one side of the shed to the other.
•
Here is my point. Yes, you can buy things! But sometimes you want something specific. Something exact. Something the way YOU want it. When that happens, just do it.
•
I can do it. You can do it. We can all do it. Sometimes we just need the reminder that we can and should do it.

Soap.
•
I made a decision last week on soap. Time to say bye bye to my existing soap supply.
•
So yesterday I delivered over 120 bars the my local homeless outreach person.
•
I give stuff to that program pretty often, but this is the biggest full sized soap give ever.
•
My newest soaps are a week away from being retail able and I’m in the mode to clear out the “old”.
•
It’s not just soap! I’ve done it with candles. Yard stiff. Serving utensils. Clothing. I even asked Kash if we should get rid of our red couch. He talked me off the ledge on that one.
•
Point is, sometimes life has a way of making us shed. A variety of ways. A variety of reasons. Take those moments and do your best to help people with them.
•
So glad I have access to such a lovely outreach who spends Mondays out helping the people.
•
A variety of benefits come with acts like this. But most importantly, the benefit of knowing I can be helpful to someone who can use help.
•
It’s the same reason we have extra blankets in our vehicle in winter. Why we always keep a little cash in the car. (Years ago we saw someone who could use some help and little Kash was so upset we didn’t have any cash in the car. Also if that boy gets a tip from a job he does, if we see a homeless person on the drive hone, he always has me circle back and he gifts his tip money).
•
Just wanted to share a reminder that sometimes it’s the littlest thing that can help someone.
•
Have a great Monday.

Oh no!!! Not the bear!
•
Let’s be real for a minute. Honey should never be in plastic. Never. Ever.
•
Marketing has had people thinking honey bear. Maybe because of Pooh Bear… but that dude keeps his in a ceramic crock. Plus you know, he’s an illustration.
•
Glass is where it’s at on the honey front. You will always find Home Grown honey in glass. It’s local, should not crystallize unless it gets heat cycled, but if it somehow does crystallize… pop it in a warm bath. The runny goodness will come back. And of course you want it to be in glass for that!
•
If you happen to have that plastic bear, please please please, DO NOT stick it in the microwave! Do not heat it at all. Just throw it out and get you some glass jars of honey.
•
at the HomeShed Friday-Monday.

What’s up Wednesday.
•
Wanted to share my little pumpkins. My buddy harvested her beautiful sugar pumpkins, saved the seeds, and packaged them up.
•
I popped some in the dirt last week and now I have them popping in 2 places.
•
If you want to grow pumpkins…. PLANT THEM NOW!
•
Goal with these it to have them grow up my cattle panel arches. Can you just picture that cuteness.
•
I’ve lost a lot in the garden to snails this season, but I think I got a handle on it and we are getting on with the growing.
•
Happy Wednesday y’all!

This!
•
I did an event yesterday and sold a kiddo a paint kit. He was a little dude and said he was pretty artsy. At first he picked a ⭐️wars theme then switched it up last minute.
•
Later his momma brought over his creation to show me how proud he was of what he had created.
•
That right there. That is why I do what I do. Why I create what I deem awesome products.
•
I want you to have result. To feel it. To see it. To experience it. Whatever the IT may actually be!
•
Why do I come up with new products? Because I listened to y’all! Your needs, desires, issues, if only’s inspire me. Sometimes they wiggle down and my subconscious busts out with something new.
•
I am literally in the process of melting tallow for my activated charcoal tallow face bar. Boom!!! Something hit. (That’s when I realized I hadn’t shared anything today).
•
So next, I’ll be blending and pouring that beautiful facial bar and then a brand new bonus product. Why I haven’t thought of it before??? I have thought of and executed something similar, but this new thing will be fanfreakingtastic. So stay tuned!!!
•
Back to this masterpiece pictured. That right there is the epitome of this creation. To provide the basics and let you take it wherever it may go!
•
Thanks little dude for cracking the code so easily. Glad to see you had so much fun!

Has anyone made one of these?
•
I have bins galore and this is on deck. I almost did it this weekend, but the schedule was too full.
•
Tips, trick, now that you knows?
•
Toss me any and all of your project wisdoms. Thanks peeps.

Memorial Day.
•
We have a Memorial weekend tradition at our house. Work your ass off and go say some names.
•
What does that mean?
•
Well, I fill this weekend up with work. Hard work. Dirty work. Actual work!
•
For me it’s been actual work. New product work. Yard work. Today will include some project work. My boy spent the weekend hired by a neighbor who was replacing their roof. LOTS of hard dirty work there.
•
Today we will say some names. With his work schedule we didn’t go put flags out on gravesites as we have in the past. But we will visit one of our military resting sites, take a walk, read the names out loud and learn a tiny piece of their story.
•
If you have never done this, it’s amazing what someone’s dash can teach you.
•
We’ve done this for a decade. We learned that a soldiers fear isn’t dying for their country, it’s the 2nd death. The one where they are forgotten and nobody speaks their name. We will always do our part to ensure that never happens.
•
And the work hard part? Well, we do that because there are men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for us! We honor those no longer here by working hard on our home and business because they no longer can. I’ve taught my boy the value of that vs a bbq.
•
So on this somber weekend of thanks, we remember all of those who have gone on before us, fighting to keep us safe, fighting for our freedoms, fighting to keep us US.
You are not forgotten. You are loved and appreciated.

Stage 5 clinger!
•
Do y’all have one of these? I have 7. But this one is the most. She follows me all over, just wanting to be close to her momma. The chickens are too. And one of the cats. The other one goes on tour.
•
But this one wants to snuggle while she sleeps. Be on the bath mat while I shower. Climb on my lap when I drive.
•
MOMMA!!!!!!
•
Our little fuzzy souls are the best.

Just like this audio!
•
When you take one thing and make it into something else.
•
This freeze dried candy is the perfect example. Here we call it No. 5.
•
I can’t tell you the name because, they don’t like that sort of thing. But when it’s freeze dried it becomes a light and airy tropical delight!
•
If you are a fan of this gummy, you know what’s up. You can find this or at upcoming live events. Be sure to check the recent flyer.
