A comfortable corner where we can exchange ideas, stories, tips and a sense of community. Lots of great ideas that get the creative juices flowing, but no stress, pressure or deadlines. Everyone goes at their own pace and contributes what they can. A nice, gentle place that I'd recommend for anyone of any age and any circumstances.

I really enjoyed the knowledge and support from so many people who I didn't even know before Homefolk Roots started. I got some ideas and things to try that I didn't think of on my own or hear of before. I would recommend this to anyone that has a hankering for God's foods and a simpler life. It is hard and so worth it when you get to eat what you grew especially in the winter when the produce and fruit at the grocery tastes bland. 

I have had so much fun with this. Hearing and learning from others, as I observe. I am so new to this stuff, and the swaps are so fun as well. Like Christmas!

I have thoroughly enjoyed your Homespun Seasonal Living classes. I like that they are open to interpretation and not one-size-fits-all. I also appreciate being able to answer the questions and do the projects on my own time. The one message that has resonated with me since taking the winter course is slow down. I am appreciating the seasons more, even if it’s not my favorite time of the year. And by having a seasonal focus, I’ve been able to delegate projects to a specific time of year that are more fitting. Keep ’em coming.

With Homespun Seasonal Living, Kathie Lapcevic leads students on an inspiring, thoughtful journey to a seasonal lifestyle. Approachable, warm and humorous, Kathie is exactly the sort of guide you would want to help you navigate life’s changing seasons.

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I signed up for the Homespun Seasonal Living e-course, but our family has been experiencing a renewal of gardening, food preservation, healthy eating, and self-sufficiency, so I thought perhaps this course would fit right in. And it did! – You don’t have to live on 40 acres to benefit from this course – she makes it easy to begin by doing just one thing and then finding ways to connect that one thing to your everyday living, interacting with your community, and planning for the future, while emphasizing the importance of rest and play activities, too! – The course was a nice balance of planning, doing, and reflecting, along with recipes and DIY projects. Many of her suggestions for activities became jumping-off points for my own imagination based on my specific needs and interests. Most importantly, it got me thinking about meaningful goals, and “digging deep” to find out what’s really important to me and my family. – I really liked Kathie’s “no guilt” approach – she emphasized doing as little or as much as we had the time and energy for. This was especially meaningful for me as we are working through a difficult family situation, health wise, and I knew I could not fully participate in every single activity at this time. I know I will be using the materials on-going to fill in and expand on for quite some time.

Kathie’s communications and well-thought-out lesson plan really kept me on track and in touch with the season. I experienced so much more than ever before–from identifying the birds in my backyard to connecting with the vendors at my local farmers market. It was fun, and having Kathie as a guide made it all possible.
