Mid Week Missions

This weeks mission for our family!

Take it easy!

We had a rough week last week and we are all recovering. This week we are going to take it easy and get back to basics :) Things have slowed down just enough that this really is OK and so needed. Besides...next week is going to be a tough week and we are rolling into Fair time for these 4-H kids too!

So much to do and so little time but this week is ours!

To Do:

Put all the appointments and important dates on the schedule.
Reup written routines and put them in our journals as our lives are slowly changing as we learn more and more about Sustainable living.fami
Post our routines here for all to see
Drink lots of water
BREATH! We need it!

Journal- Mid Week 'minders

This week in the kitchen I am focusing on growing our sourdough to share with friends and list members and learning some new recipes! Will share our favorites on the next Twisted Tuesday post.

This week, I have simply not been able to get a handle on the garden! I need to revamp the garden space and get the rest planted!  I have been procrastinating because I had hoped to borrow a tiller but that may not happen... time for the shovel! Oh my back hurts already but it will so be worth it!

If I could have my dream pantry it would be able to hold a year supply of dry gods and have a cold cellar for all the things like potatoes, gourds and fruit that keep best that way like apples. Since we have a large family this would a feat in itself! It would need to be central to the kitchen and also house my grain grinder and grain roller in a usable fashion.

The one place other than where I am that I might like to live is Alaska. Never been there but it sure is pretty.I have family that has lived there and My husband love loves it there. He has family there.  We are working to be as sustainable as we can be so that would be a great test! lol

I know I need to clean the broody coop to get our little chicks into for Thursday and continue my research on a fiber animal for to eventually be making our clothes from. Wont that be so awesome!!! Not to have to purchase our clothes!?

Can you see why a homestead type thing in Alaska seems so appealing?!
