Top Reads of 2021

TorrieUpdated on January 4, 2022December 30, 2021

If I thought 2020 was a weird reading year for me, I had no idea how much weirder 2021 would be. Between starting a flower farm, taking on a part-time job at the local newspaper, and just dealing with the general craziness that is life right now with 3 young kids, I did not read …

Top 10 Blog Posts of 2021 {+ Instagram Top 9}

TorrieDecember 27, 2021December 27, 2021

Ever since 2016, I’ve done a round-up at the end of year of the top 10 posts on the blog as well as the top 9 posts on my Instagram. Now, my personal IG took a beating this year — I only posted 6 pictures total, so clearly that won’t be the IG account with …

Our 7 Current Financial Goals // Final Report

TorrieUpdated on December 28, 2021December 22, 2021

When I first sat down to make these financial goals for my current 101 in 1001 list, I thought of them as being “stretch” goals–I figured that they’d be “do-able” in the 2.75 year span, but I also thought they’d be a real challenge. Imagine my surprise, then, upon finding that we were able to …

A Snapshot of My Life Today 12/21/21

TorrieDecember 21, 2021December 21, 2021

Comin’ at you on the Winter Solstice today! Something seemed off from the get go this morning since I seemed to have woken up grumpy from the second my eyes opened, but we’re working on turning things around thanks to dropping off some donations, getting surprise visits from generous neighbors, and having a special candlelight …

Zero Food Waste Challenge {Final Report}

TorrieUpdated on December 18, 2021December 18, 2021

I started this Zero Food Waste Challenge on a whim on October 14th, so about two months ago. Since then, I’ve done several weekly reports on our food waste to report what we threw away and how much that food waste cost. I’m pleased to report that for the last week and a half of …

Seeking Rest {December 2021 Goals}

TorrieDecember 7, 2021December 7, 2021

A few months ago, I naively thought that once the growing season was over, I wouldn’t have that much I needed to do with the flower farm. WRONG. In fact, I now know that throughout the year, there really is only a single month that’s going to not have much (if anything) to do with …
