Leftover Muffins a Quick Breakfast

I boost protein content a bit with extra eggs, add anything from the refrigerator that needs to be eaten, and freeze the results to meter out when the morning hungries hit.

Life Work Integration with Keith Phillips – EP 888

Join me for a discussion of work life integration with Keith Phillips from Heartland Bunkies.

Keith is an ex-army helicopter pilot that cares for 52 acres in Southernmost Illinois with his wife Becky and 6 children. I’m addition to raising livestock and roasting coffee, they run 2 airbnbs and market small cabin kits which other folks can use to affordably start their homesteads or add an additional stream of income.

Keith’s passion is reversing the trend of disintegrating modern families. He believes that people were created to beautify the earth through productive labor. All else being equal, family centered work is the enduring center of family life that is noticeably missing from modern society, and that may serve to draw us together again.
