The Sloggers Apron | My New Favorite Homestead Tool

March 18, 2016 · In: chickens, Farmhouse, gardening, homemaking, homesteading, Simple Living

Let me first start by saying, I am not an apron kind of girl. Even in the kitchen, I only wear an apron when I know the job is going to be extra messy. I’ve never been that “girly girl”—I was a tom-boy my entire life. But, I do have my elegant moments.

So needless to say, when Sloggers recently approached me about reviewing a new product line, I wasn’t necessarily sure I would be the best fit for the review. But, I decided to do it and see if I enjoyed it.

….and I am SO GLAD that I did.

So let me tell you about this amazing new tool on my homestead. The mere fact that I now wear it, daily, should tell you something. The only things I typically use daily are my knife (for straw bales and bags), my boots, and my sweatshirt pockets. Not going to lie. I’m a very simple person who can make very simple things work on a regular basis.

However, I constantly found myself needing somewhere to “put” things. And that includes my cell phone, the house phone (for safety purposes when outside by myself), something to carry down herbs and treats in, and even those big egg hauls where the sweatshirt isn’t big enough.

In walked the Sloggers brand new heavy duty apron, and I’ve been sold ever since. It is truly heavy duty. I have already been jumped on by the dog, pooped on by chickens, smashed some eggs on it when I dropped one. I even left my knife and garden shears slightly open in one of the pockets only to find that it didn’t rip the inside of it to pieces.

The best part is that it’s not just great for the animals and coop, it’s great for gardening, washing the dog, farmer’s market day to stuff all those dollars in—you name it, it can do it.

So what are my favorite things about the apron?
 
It’s Made in the USA
That’s right. Just like Sloggers boots and every product they offer, this apron is made completely in the USA. Including the material that it is made with.
It Really Is Heavy Duty
Sloggers certainly delivered on their promise. Not only is it sturdy and functionally built, it’s also heavy duty without being stiff and rough. This apron can be used on even the dirtiest and toughest of farms and homesteads.
The Pockets Are Extremely Deep
And therefore, I can fit just about anything into them without worrying that my things will get lost, crushed, or fall out. I mean, seriously, I can’t get over these pockets.
The Neck and Waist Straps Are Adjustable
I have used many aprons that just don’t fit me well because they don’t have adjustable straps and ties. Needless to say, I am a vertically challenged person—aka, I’m short. But this apron doesn’t feel extremely long or bulky on me because I’m able to make it shorter with the neck strap. I am also not the skinniest person in the world, even though I have lost quite a bit of weight over the past year.  So this apron made me feel more comfortable knowing I could adjust height and width very easily.
It’s Adorable
And there is no denying it. Something that is this functional normally lacks the cuteness factor. But a simple denim (and I hear they might be working on more patterns!) work apron, versus a plastic or rubber one, is much more girly in my opinion.
 
If you’re like me and looking for something to keep you organized while tending to your homestead and farm animals, I highly recommend this product that was just launched online! If you would have asked me 3 weeks ago if a homestead apron was necessary, I would have laughed in your face.

Not this week, my friends.

I’m not sure how I lived without it up to this point!

If you follow people online, you often call them a If you follow people online, you often call them an “influencer”. Let me be the one to tell you that most of us in the sphere that I am in do not consider ourselves “influencers”. Some may consider themselves teachers, leaders, ministers, and more, but the term influencer has never been something we’ve enjoyed. 

The reality is this—we found ourselves in the middle of a crossroad on our timeline where someone needed to pick up a mic and speak truth in the midst of chaos. Most of us have no interest in being online at all. We wouldn’t be sad if the internet disappeared tomorrow. But we were handed that microphone, influence, and anointing to go along with it.

Don’t be fooled—it’s not because of algorithms and marketing plans. If you are succeeding in this online world or your physical sphere of influence for Jesus, it’s because you were given the open door to do so. It’s not about you. It’s about what God knows He can entrust to you for His will and kingdom. 

Some people chase after people, trends, validation, recognition, and the spotlight. But can I tell you what comes along with those things? Hatred, bullying, misunderstanding, monitoring people and spirits, people lying about you, persecution—and if you’ve really made it, threats on your life and persecution.

You see, people want the influence. People want to be close to a Kingdom influencer. But if you aren’t ready to roll with the good AND bad, then you’re not ready. 

Jesus was the OG influencer, and He was spit on, lied about, and killed for His influence. Follower of Jesus—you are told to prepare for the same thing in the world. No matter your influence level.

A time is coming in America where influence online won’t matter anymore, yet the outcome will remain the same. The time to prepare for that is now—spiritually and emotionally. 

But take heart, dear one. He has overcome the world. I speak to believers and leaders everyday who are truly influencing to make a difference—some online, some never touching a screen. 

Jesus is building His church stone by stone. Some of us have mics, some of us will never be broadly known to man. Yet the struggle is still the same. Pray for us.
This morning I made a Mother’s Day tea—this one is This morning I made a Mother’s Day tea—this one is for you, ladies! 

My hormones have been all over the place as I inch closer to 40 and begin to slowly wean our little one. I’ve been snappy and know I need more nourishment. My skin has been out of sorts and, moral of the story, my body needs help. This tea is great for anyone—but it is especially healing for women. 

The jar made in the reel is a concentrate (I used lots of herbs), meaning, I add about 1 cup or more (whatever you’d like) of this liquid concentrate to my pint/quart jar and fill the rest with ice and cold water. But the “amounts” would stay the same in “parts”. 

If I were to add one more thing to this tea, it would be lemon balm. It is also very calming and aromatic. But since lemon balm is growing fresh right now, I add a sprig of it to each glass made with this herbal concentrate when I pour. 

This blend is fabulously cooling, nourishing to the body, and especially beneficial to women of all ages. 

You can add raw honey to sweeten this tea, and it is divine. 

🌺 Hibiscus flower (Hibiscus sabdariffa)
An incredible antioxidant which helps support the immune system, reduces oxidative stress, and supports your health at the cellular level. It may also help with cholesterol and cardiovascular health. This is a wonderful cooling herb for summer time, peri- and regular menopause. (Use sparingly while pregnant).

🌼Chamomile
Most noted for its ability to calm, relax, and cool. It is an efficient gentle anti-inflammatory and works well for the gastrointestinal tract. It is a gentle nervine, making it ideal for the central nervous system.

🌿 Stinging Nettle
An extremely nourishing herb, it is rich in iron, magnesium, calcium, proteins, and so many minerals. Nettle is anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic. Nettle will help build strength in your body, and nourish it to its core—every system in the body is nourished by it. It is a natural antihistamine, mast cell stabilizer, and tonic.

🍃Red Raspberry Leaf
Rich in minerals and manganese. It works effectively in supporting and toning the reproductive system. It is also great for use as an antacid, hormones, heart and eye h
Never give up. Never give up.
If you’re like me, you avoid the doctor’s office a If you’re like me, you avoid the doctor’s office at all cost. Our littlest little ones have never been to the doctor, but there have certainly been instances where we needed to speak to one. 

Thankfully we have our own personal friend that is a doctor, but Dr. Ben isn’t taking anymore patients! And I have been looking for an alternative for all of YOU! 

Healthcare is changing, and it needed to. If you can’t find a freedom loving doctor near you, or you simply don’t want to foot the office, this is the most amazing option, and it’s inexpensive! 

The best part is that you get to sit right in your own home, just like a modern day house call. 

With the link below, you can get your first month free. It’s healthcare but a monthly membership. It is FREEDOM loving, decentralized healthcare. And I think many of you will benefit!

It is not easy to homestead and raise littles. Whe It is not easy to homestead and raise littles. When I hear people say “but the older women did it alone and did fine”, I scratch my head. No, they didn’t. Our culture now is completely opposite of what it once was. 

So let me be the one to tell you, your great grandmother did not homestead alone. Women in the Bible did not provide for their family alone (and neither did the men, this is a new concept). 

Depending on which generation you are from, your great grandmother more than likely had her husband at home most days running the property, investments, and doing odd and end jobs in the community. Before the Industrial Revolution, men were also busy at home on the farm and in the community.  Man and woman worked side by side as God always intended. Both providing for their family in different ways. 

If she didn’t have a husband for support, she had her sister or brother, mother, cousin, a trusted friend, uncle—there was someone. Women knew they could not do it all on their own when in the season of bearing and raising children.

In the Bible we saw the Proverbs woman (and others) very active in providing for the home and family. Not alone, but with her husband. We often think of “provision” as monetary.  But provision was also very much working your land for your food. This was the first economic decision you made—homestead economics. And THEN you worked other places if and when necessary—both man and woman. 

There were communities of agrarian people constantly working together. It truly took a village—both in biblical times and great-grandma’s time. 

If we want this system to work…
If we want our communities to be sustainable…
If we want the culture to change…

Then we must get back to this. 

I am in a weird space in time where I am both still raising littles and simultaneously heading into my “older teaching the younger” season. And I am grateful for it. Because I still see so intricately what needs there are for others because I’ve been there more recently. It is a beautiful space to be. 

Ladies—it’s time to bring the village back. Let the Titus 2 women spread out their tent pegs and arise with wisdom and boldness, strength and resources.
