Continue reading →: MESS AND BEAUTYSo daily life. Does it get you excited? When you think of ‘tomorrow’ is it, after all, another day? Or does it hold intrigue? We can very easily forget that each day is a gift. There is a lot of mess, isn’t there? As I have mentioned in another post…

Continue reading →: TODAY- February EditionThis morning, I was thankful to have gotten dishes done last night (some Mondays I am too exhausted to get to them). That meant just getting clean dishes put away. My kids have chores each day/week that they’re responsible for. My two oldest are boys and they alternate weeks with…

Continue reading →: COLLECTIONSRecently, I messaged my aunt and mentioned that I loved the motto “an antique in every room.” I don’t know where I first heard that phrase, but it fits me to a tee! Some people may classify that as needing large antiques like furniture, mirrors, or chests; others may say…

Continue reading →: A WELL STOCKED PANTRYWe have had such fog this week. I don’t remember the last time the sun was shining- mostly overcast and rainy. But, I love rain. Some of my favorite types of days are rainy ones. It is rare to have this much rain in January in central IL. We don’t…

Continue reading →: NO SHOP FEBRUARYWhat a rainy and overcast kind of day it is here! It is sure nice to smell Winter Barley Chili bubbling in the crock pot and know that cornbread griddle cakes are soon to be in the skillet. Is anything better than soup and bread in the winter? I don’t…

Hello,
Welcome to
Honey and the Hen!
Currently I don’t have any bees (or honey). We do have meat chickens now – yay!
And we also recently purchased 20 laying pullets. I live with my Sweet Husband and 3 kids in Central Illinois. I love homesteading, homemaking, and homeschooling. We are thankful to be saved by grace in Jesus and seek to follow Him and His Word. I am originally from Tennessee and one of six children, using much of my upbringing in what I do and love now. I enjoy learning, growing, and keeping my home with enthusiasm as unto the Lord. We garden and hope to raise more of our own food as we can. Thanks for stopping by!
