Happy Wednesday, my friend!
A year ago I started a series on my blog, Rooted + Ready. Originally it was a plan to help you be prepared for a jump in prices due to tariffs, but with all the craziness going on in Iran right now, I feel like it's time to revisit.
Because, I don't know about you, but it feels like every damn week there's another reason that I'm stressed out over with the madman in the oval office.
So let's focus on what we CAN control, k? And being prepared really does make it so much easier on our nervous systems to handle the chaos.

Harnessing the Energy of the Last Quarter Moon
This post was originally shared on my blog, but the craziness of the world today means it’s more than important than ever to think forward and try to be as prepared as possible. Because a prepped witch is a powerful one.
My great-grandmother was a force of nature.
She was born before women could vote, and she raised her babies during the Great Depression. But she didn’t just survive it… she thrived in a way that’s hard to explain unless you’ve witnessed that kind of power up close. She was strong, but soft. Fierce, but fair. A woman with her hands in the soil and her heart in the future.
She was a suffragette. A homemaker. A garden witch.
And she taught my grandmother – who was born in 1930, right in the heart of the Depression – how to weather hard times with grace, grit, and homemade biscuits.
So I asked my mama, “What lessons would she teach us now?” Her first answer was “Work on your pantry.”
