Memories:

My Aunt Linda is one of the most wonderful hostesses I know. Additionally, she holds a wealth of information regarding gardening, canning, foraging, heritage skills, history, floral arranging, and more. As she has learned so much from many wise people, I glean from her knowledge and wisdom.

Mrs. Katie of Heritage Ways educates and encourages Diligent Homemakers by sharing her family’s homemaking and homesteading traditions and knowledge. A mother of six and Grandmarmee to a growing number of blessings, her favorite thing to do is cook for a table full of hungry folks. Find Mrs. Katie teaching at homemaking and homesteading events. She’ll be the one wearing an apron and counting her blessings.
