Haw River Homestead is a place where our passion for the slow life and a drive to become more self-reliant meet. Over the past 3 years we have planted, explored, and slowly built our dream home (ok, we are still working on it).

Those long tree shadows and that golden fall light get me every time. Sunday is calling for temps in the 30s so it might be time for a bonfire and cider! 🔥 I feel like I’ve been living in limbo. And, it lowers my overall energy and ability to be fully present. In trying to figure out what I should do about it, I realized I’ve let go of some of my self-care staples- meditation and practicing gratitude affirmations. This lack of reflection just magnifies my feelings of stagnation. Well, guess what?! ✨Time to reconnect✨It’s so easy to slip, but we can always start again. Tell me what some of your self-care staples are?
Guess what the most purchased new item is from dōTERRA’s convention release? ✨Turmeric✨ I’m so excited about the release of this oil, and all the amazing benefits it offers for your nervous system and overall emotional support. I have to be honest though - it smells like dirt - so I’ve been taking it internally with a veggie cap. 👌 Some benefits of turmeric oil include 🌱supports metabolism 🌱supports healthy glucose levels 🌱promotes immune function 🌱enhances complexion (topically)🌱daily antioxidant boost Have you tried it yet?
How’s fall in your neck of the woods? I spent the day with my hands in the dirt - a little of this and a little of that. Finally starting to feel in a festive fall mood - mums and pumpkins and pansies, oh my! It usually takes me a while to get around to decorating but I have been diffusing an awesome fall blend - 2 drops each of ginger, clove and cassia - so that counts, right? 🍂#hawriverhomestead
Who’s a crazy chicken lady? Not me 😂 One of the newer hens laid a fairy egg while we were away this weekend! It’s about time 🐓#hawriverhomestead
