What is the main focus of the episode and who is the guest?
Say you only scroll thirty minutes a day or an hour a day. It's not that that hour would have been the thing that transformed all the time that you had. It's what it did to your brain, like you're saying, we're not satisfied with these little things we do like tending to your garden or kneading your bread or making a meal from scratch. It's exactly
Exactly right. Screens kill your creativity. When moms lack creativity, everybody suffers in the home. Then you're searching for a dopamine hit that is unnatural. They give us a dopamine high that we can't get in the natural world.
My name is Lisa, mother of eight and creator of the blog and YouTube channel Farmhouse on Boon. On this podcast, I like to talk about simplifying your life so you can live out your priorities. I help you learn how to cook from scratch and decorate on a budget through this podcast and my courses Simple Sourdough in the Simple Sewing Series. I also help people reach their goals from home through my business course YouTube Success Academy. I will leave links to these resources in the show notes and description box below. So now let's get into the show. Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. I just finished recording this interview with Ruth Ann Zimmerman. She has been on the podcast before. This conversation took quite a few turns and I think some things were said that really need to be heard.
by mothers everywhere, whether you want to homestead or or you don't. We we both are mothers of many and w she's years ahead of me and a lot of you I'm years ahead of a lot of you I'm not. Either way, I think she shared Just such great insight that I had to just it was just such gold. So join us for this conversation. I really think you'll be encouraged by it. All right. Well, Ruth Ann, I'm so excited to have you on. You and I were able to actually meet recently at the modern homesteading conference. So that was pretty fun. And I I actually don't even know if I got to hear you speak because I think it overlapped with stuff that I had to do. But I heard it was really good from a lot of people. But I wanted to have you on to chat about all kinds of things.
You're best known in the homestead world for your homesteading and your family content and cooking. And you have a new book, The Heart of the Homestead. So tell us about you and your new book.
So I was very happy to meet you at the Modern Homestead Conference, Lisa. You were on my list of homesteaders that I have not yet met, but wanted to. Um so I actually saw one of your children first and it caught my eye and I'm like, Oh, Lisa's here somewhere. So I recognize that child. Um so I was very happy to meet with you too. Um so real quick background for those of you that don't know, my husband and I, we live in in northeast Iowa. We have seven children. Um our two older children have already flown the nest. Um we are grandparents and our youngest son is ten years old. He's nine. He's actually nine years old. So um yes, our lives are very busy with the family and those relationships. But not only that, um we have our homestead has ev evolved into
from what it first started as animals so that our children have chores and build the character that comes with having homestead chores is now evolved into being um self-sustaining more or less and you know producing all of our own food trying not to go to the grocery store more than we have to um so our lives are very full and busy. And so about my book, yes. Um I signed a two book contract with Harvest House Publishers and the first book is about to release. Um it will release in a little less than a month. And
Okay. Yeah, and this comes out in September, so it's probably out at the time that people are doing this.
So um you'll be able to find it anywhere. By the time this is published, um people will be able to just type in the search of the the title of the book and find it. Um but in the book, um I wrote a lot about real practical homestead knowledge and but within each chapter is the the heart of the homestead. Um, so basically, you know, in the milk cow chapter, yes, you can do all of these things, um, with the milk cow, you know, with your milk cow, with your raw milk, all these recipes and the nutritional ig you know, value of it.
