Keeping a Homesteading Notebook

Homesteading

Let’s talk about keeping a homesteading notebook. This is something I started working on a few months ago, and I’m so thankful I did.

Having hard copies of tips, tricks, and recipes for homesteading and healthy living has come in handy more than once.

Keeping a Homesteading Notebook

Although I keep two blogs, I’m not too great at processing digital resources. I’m a hands-on learner. I need to highlight and write comments because it helps me learn and remember better.

I’m not a sensationalist, but I have noticed helpful articles disappearing from the internet in the last year or two. When I find a helpful article, I print it out and put it in my notebook so I’ll always have access to it.

Some of the places I’ve personally found helpful articles have been:

  • Melissa K. Norris
  • Homesteading Family
  • Mercola
  • Deep Roots at Home

You might have your favorite online places, and I hope my blog will become one of them!

I’ve set up something on my blog to make it easy-peasy for you to print. See the note below.*

To get started on your notebook, grab at least a 2-inch binder. I found one that I already had in my homeschool closet. {I may upgrade to a larger one as time goes by…plus purple isn’t my favorite color.}

As you find online articles and recipes, print them out and add them to your notebook.

 

Inside my Homesteading Notebook

Inside my notebook, I have three main topics/tabs: Health, Homesteading, and Food. These are VERY broad and a lot can fit under each one. You are welcome to narrow down the topics of your homesteading notebook tabs.

In the free printable at the bottom of this post, I have twenty-two ready-made tabs you can glue or tape into your notebook. They include:

  1. baking
  2. bees
  3. bread
  4. canning
  5. chickens
  6. cooking
  7. cows
  8. food
  9. garden
  10. goats
  11. handmade
  12. health
  13. herbs
  14. homemade
  15. homestead
  16. livestock
  17. nutrition
  18. organic
  19. pigs
  20. prepping
  21. preserving
  22. recipes

I’ve also included EIGHT write-on tabs if you don’t see a topic you’d like to include.

 

*Note: You can easily print any article from my blog by clicking on the green “Print Friendly” icon at the bottom of each blog post! This allows you to choose exactly how you want the article to print…with or without images. Woohoo!
