Create a Home that Heals You
Have you ever felt like you have to do it all? There’s work, family, and then taking care of your home. You’re left wondering how to find time to make things healthier, more natural, and more meaningful. It can feel overwhelming, can’t it? It’s time to create a home that heals you, instead of draining you!
Hi! I’m Deborah Robinson, and I created Old Ways Made New because I’ve been right there too. I realized I didn’t have to do everything perfectly or all at once.
Instead, I embraced some of the old ways of doing things. Then, I sprinkled in some modern research for effective natural solutions.
And when I slowed down and lived with intention, everything began to feel lighter, more doable, and even joyful. The cherry on top was that I actually was able to get more done!
I can teach you the skills of creating natural solutions for your family and animals. However, the first step is truly deciding what is most important to you and your family.
Pick and Choose
You get to decide which traditional skills you want to add to your natural living plan. Let me help you pick and choose without the pressure of feeling like you have to do it all. You can keep chickens, make sourdough bread, and grow a little garden. BUT, you don’t have to! Support your local farmer instead, if that fits into your season of life.
Feel like you have to do “all the things” to embrace a natural, self-sufficient lifestyle? Well, I’m here to tell you it isn’t true! You get to decide what works for you. Stop comparing yourself to others and focus on what matters most to you and your family.

And let’s be real. It’s time to stop spending hours Googling while trying to piece together bits of advice that never get to the root of the problem. You don’t have to figure everything out on your own. I’ve already done the research, tested the methods, and simplified it all, so you don’t have to. I would LOVE to be your guide and mentor, on your journey to a more natural lifestyle.
If you feel like you have a full plate, I would love to help you trim it down a bit.
Natural living shouldn’t feel like one more thing on your to-do list. Let’s make it fun!

Our Little Homestead
This place has been in my family since about 1970. I can remember coming out to see Grandma and Grandpa and how much fun we would have exploring the old cemetery across the road or venturing up into what we call the “upper 70” to check the cows and see Grandpa’s new, prize bull. My…

What is Real Food?
Have you ever heard the statement, “You are what you eat?” Well, it’s true. You know what I’m talking about if you’ve ever eaten something that your body didn’t agree with, which ended up making you blow up like a balloon…or worse. So, what are real foods? They are the whole, unprocessed, or minimally processed…
