Take Control of Your Family’s Future & Inflation-Proof Your Pantry

Raise your hand if you’ve felt a little uneasy about the economy at any point in the last five years 🙋🏼‍♀️

It’s been a bit of a roller coaster…

Did you know the cost of food rose 23.6% from 2020 to 2024?? And that’s just an average…many of us saw the cost of eggs TRIPLE earlier this spring.

While yes, the overall inflation rate is slowing down, your food is still getting more expensive every single month. And who knows when inflation will spike again.

But here is the good news! You don’t have to face the future with fear. You don’t have to accept that this is just the world we live in. There are a few simple strategies you can implement right away to start SAVING money on your grocery bills - EVEN if you don’t have a garden or raise your own animals.

Just imagine for a moment having a pantry so well-stocked that you could actually skip grocery shopping altogether for weeks—(maybe even months!)—without worry. Imagine knowing that no matter what happens, you have a “savings account” of nutrient dense food right in your own home.

And I’m not talking beans and rice (although you may have some of that stashed away, too!). I’m talking delicious, homemade food your family will actually eat! I’m going to show you how to take control of your family’s food security confidently and without fear in my FREE Challenge coming up September 6th - 9th.

Each day, I’ll go live at 9 am PT and give you a short project to tackle that day. If you can’t be there live, no worries! Each video will be available all week so you can take it at your own pace.

Why I Created the 'Fill Your Pantry Challenge'

I didn’t grow up on a farm. I didn’t inherit land or know anything about growing and preserving food. In fact, my journey began on a tiny apartment patio where I started cooking from scratch and preserving what I could out of pure necessity! My husband Josh and I were poor as church mice with a growing family to support and very limited time.

Trying to mesh these old world skills with modern schedules can be tough. We didn’t grow up seeing homesteading “baked in” to everyday life the way our great grandmothers did.

But over time, I discovered the essential skills, shortcuts, and strategies that allowed me to create a self-sustaining lifestyle wherever I lived.

Today, I’m a real life homesteading mom to 11 kids, and I never have to wonder about whether I’ll be able to feed my family (or anyone who happens to drop by, for that matter!)

I want to give you the same confidence and peace of mind by showing you how I fill my pantry with delicious, homemade food in very little time each week.

Consider this your official invitation to join me for my first ever Fill Your Pantry Challenge.

What We’ll Cover Together During the Challenge

This isn’t about high-end, store-bought “pantry makeovers.” This is about cultivating a pantry that not only feeds your family but offers security and abundance. By the end of the challenge you will:

Have shelf-stable staples ready to pull off your pantry shelves for quick weeknight meals.
Effortlessly weave stocking your pantry into your everyday routine - no need to spend your entire life in the kitchen!
Easily replace pricey store bought convenience foods with your own, better-for-you homemade versions (wait until you see how simple it is!)
Save hundreds on groceries by stocking your pantry (and fridge!) with food you love and will actually use.
Create a resilient pantry that carries you through tough times, whether it’s a busy work week or a long-term setback.

Let’s Dream Together for a Moment…

Take just a minute to imagine your life on the other side of this challenge. What does it look like for you?

Maybe it’s whipping up homemade mayo in minutes for pennies on the dollar. Maybe it’s pulling out a premade breakfast to make your morning routine a little smoother.

Maybe it’s sleeping easier at night because you know that no matter what life throws at you, whether it’s a stomach flu or a job loss, you have a plan to feed your family.

You see, when most people hear the word “homesteading” they immediately think of acres of land and animals, and while that’s one version of homesteading, I believe it’s much broader than that.

Homesteading is about building a life that YOU have control over. You have everything you need right now to make intentional choices that move you closer to a life of sustainability and resiliency, all you need is a little bit of clarity on the “how!” That’s where I come in.

Because I can confidently tell you based on my own experience, an abundant life is not just a pipe dream - it’s a reality waiting for you!

Maybe it’s whipping up homemade mayo in minutes for pennies on the dollar. Maybe it’s pulling a “heat and eat” meal right off your shelf after a busy weekday.

Carolyn Thomas

Hi! I’m Carolyn! My husband, Josh, and I live on 40 acres in Idaho with our 11 children where we grow, preserve, and prepare most of our own food right on our property.

As young parents with a quickly growing family and a desire to feed them healthy, whole foods (even on a tight budget) we knew very quickly that we were going to have to figure out how to grow and cook it ourselves... good food was just too expensive!

But we didn’t have anyone around us that we could ask about how to make this homesteading thing work. We felt completely alone and scrambling for answers while dealing with the demands of life.

We didn’t want others to have to go through the same struggles we experienced, so we created Homesteading Family.

As the years have passed we have had an opportunity to speak into the lives of more and more families… And while we are so blessed to get to help others, we also know that this is just the beginning… and now it is time to take the next step.

The Fill Your Pantry Challenge will help you inflation-proof your household and secure your family’s future.

I can’t wait to see you there!
