The cost of these workshops is a sliding scale depending on what your group can afford. Basically, I love sharing this information and will present for the cost of my travel, as I learn something every time I present.

WORKSHOP #1
Homemade Life
Every news story seems to bring more causes for worry – what
we’re eating, what we’re doing, what we’re breathing, even what we’re thinking.
For parents, these worries are multiplied as we make decisions about how to
raise our children.
In this introductory workshop, we’ll examine issues like:
- Processed foods - preservatives, additives, artificial ingredients & food dyes
- Incorporating more whole, organic foods in to our menus (and budgets)
- Strategies for convincing a skeptical family of the importance of “clean” eating
- Raising kids who are kind, planet-conscious, and creative
- Slowing down, living more simply, and reducing the stuff and stress in our lives
- How living a healthier, happier, homemade life not only improves our own lives, but our communities and our planet
Join us as we explore how to create a healthy, happy,
homemade life in a world that bombards us with demands on our time, wallets,
and sanity. You’ll leave with lots of ideas, resources, and inspiration to
begin living your own healthy, happy, homemade life, and perhaps some food for
thought.
WORKSHOP #2
Eating organic on a
budget.
Sure, we all want to eat organically, but who can afford it?
This workshop is crammed full of ideas for buying, growing, cooking, and saving
on healthy food. We’ll talk about how to make your current budget stretch to
afford the foods that will have the most impact on your health and your
family’s health. Find out how you can make your own peanut butter, granola,
instant oatmeal, bread, yogurt, ice cream, and other staples of everyday life.
There are lots of small ways you can start living a homemade
life today. No one does it overnight, but we all can make changes now that move
us towards the life we want.
WORKSHOP #3
Clean, green living
Living a healthy, happy, homemade life means finding ways to
clean and care for your home without toxic chemicals. It’s much easier than you

Organic
gardening for the average Joe
I’m no master gardener, but I’ve
been doing this long enough to know a few tricks for growing food for our
family. It’s all about what saves time, money, and effort. A garden is the
foundation for a healthy, happy, homemade life. If you don’t have your own space
– don’t despair there is ground to go around. Come learn how to create a garden
where there once was lawn, start your own seeds, and harvest a healthy, happy,
homemade life.

Canning
and preserving like your grandma did (sort of…)
Canning and preserving food is
simple and requires very few special tools and certainly no special skills.
Learn the tricks, tips, and methods that will help you make the most of the
food that is in season in your garden and the farms around us.
WORKSHOP
#7
Chicken
keeping for everyone
Dreamed of collecting your own fresh
eggs from your own fresh chickens? It’s not an impossible dreams. Chickens make
great pets and pay their own way. They don’t require any more space than a dog
kennel in your back yard and not only do they offer fresh eggs, but they make
great pets and provide endless hours of entertainment. Learn how you can start
chicken keeping this week!
WORKSHOP
#8
Homemade Eating
Ideas for cooking, baking and
serving healthier foods. It’s not only what you take out, but what you put in
your foods that make them healthier. Learn about some good things like
flaxseed, cranberries, salt, coconut oil, and grass-fed products and find out
about the dangers of food dyes, MSG, aspartame, and genetically-modified
organisms.
WORKSHOP
#9
Homemade Holidays (and Birthdays)
Holidays can be times of
overindulging, overspending, and overstimulation, but they can also be times of
great joy, meaningful tradition, and quiet connections. Explore ideas for
making your holidays (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines Day,
Easter, and birthdays) heavy on the meaning and light on the stress. Ideas for
healthy, happy, homemade birthday parties and holiday celebrations and
traditions.
WORKSHOP
#10
Homemade Me
Sometimes when our lives are
consumed by others’ needs and wants, we forget about our own. Do you make room
in your life for creativity and meaning? Take some time to reflect on what you’re
doing for YOU. We’ll explore why and how you can exercise your body, mind, and
spirit for a healthier and happier you.
