Book description
Rediscover the simple pleasures in life
When was the last time you let the aroma of freshly baked bread fill
your kitchen or felt the warmth of a heavy quilt on a cold winter
night? In today's day and age, it's easy to get swept up in the
whirlwind of convenience and forget what it's like to truly appreciate
the simple things in life. The Modern-Day Pioneer celebrates
these forgotten joys by showing you how to incorporate basic skills
and living into your everyday life. Whether you're interested in
growing your own fruits and vegetables, raising chickens for meat or
eggs, crafting delicious meals from scratch, or creating and mending
your own clothes and quilts, this book makes it easy to live a
healthier and more sustainable life in the twenty-first century.
Filled with step-by-step instructions and homegrown inspiration,
you'll wonder how you ever lived without the sweet taste of locally
harvested honey or the refreshing scent of homemade lavender soap.
Charlotte Denholtz lives the simple life in Vermont with her
husband and two children. She loves the smell of fresh basil in the
summer and the feel of a warm quilt in the winter.
