Blue Garden Cottage (UK Suburban Homestead)
What is UK suburban Homesteading? For me it's about using your suburban home, garden (or allotment) and resources to build resilience and abundance through good old fashioned homemaking and using what you have, right where you are.
I hope to inspire you to take the plunge into your own self-reliance journey. I especially aim to help you build your own resilience and abundance.
My Ideas and thoughts are influenced by my faith and abundant mindset ideals. They are connected and everything I do begins with that. Saying that, this isn't a preachy podcast. I share relevant scriptures and insights to the topic I’m discussing as they inspire me.
Being a suburban homesteader, grandmother, writer, self-sufficiency guide, podcaster, blogger and YouTuber, it's about time these things started to pay for themselves and win my husband and my freedom. Will YOUR lifestyle bring resilience, financial peace of mind and all round abundance to you?
I would love to hear from you if you're also on this journey and taking steps to make it happen, or if you cannot yet but want to be as self-reliant as possible. Where there's a will, there's a way. If you have the will, I might just be able to point you in the way.

Blue Garden Cottage (UK Suburban Homestead)
Personal Daily Routines and Prioritising Health.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does your daily routine look like and how is it helping you to achieve your goals?
Continuing the 1st things 1st theme, I have been deliberately working on my personal routines in how I start my day. As the saying goes...Start as you mean to go on".
I intend to use the time I have wisely and do all I can to be productive in it. I intend to be successful in health, faith, business, home and relationships. Where better to start than with myself.
So as energy flows both ways, I receive all the best energy I can from around me, choosing to reject anything that will halt, interfere or slow progress unless it is part of a learning experience that will help me grow. After all, we can't know the sweet without tasting the bitter. I won't invite it but when it comes, I will learn from it.
I DO invite the sweet and good energy deliberately though. I get selective of what I expose myself to and choose my routines...Spiritual/mental and emotional first, physical health next and then work. In my personal opinion, most important is my own mental and physical health so that I am able to take care of the most important aspects of my life; Family, home, faith and then work, Church callings and ministering (checking up on folk and fellowshipping with those I have been given spiritual stewardship over).
For practicality's sake, I have to put mental/spiritual and physical health first then work in my daily routine for 4 days of the week but my motivation and my WHY is as mentioned above in importance.
I do believe that when we put first things first, life tends to be a little easier to navigate and we are more likely to succeed in our goals. Trials will become opportunities. We will grow.
That’s my hope for you.
