Rain or shine. Hot or freezing. You see, us homesteaders are always working- no matter what. And that in itself is…

Whip it baby… Whip it good…the homemade eczema cream that is! When dealing with eczema you gotta make something fun, right? Because eczema is not fun at all.

How to Use Onions to Fight Off Illness | The Easy Homestead (.com)
