Welcome to Round 39 of this little series I started of all the things in life I’m loving and learning lately! Here you’ll find everything from the books I’m currently reading to the products I’m loving to the shows I’m watching (which, spoiler alert–won’t be very many or very exciting, since I’m not a huge …
Zero Food Waste Challenge {5}
Another week into the challenge, and I’m feeling good about our progress! I’m far from perfect and far from where I’d like to be, but all in all, I’ve seen an enormous difference from simply paying attention. While some food waste is seemingly inevitable, I’ve seen for myself that the vast majority of it can …
Putting the Farm to Bed for Winter {November 2021 Goals}
I feel like this whole last month got away from me without much to show for it in the way of completed tasks. However, we did do some really fun things together as a family and created some great memories–like attending a few Halloween parties and fall events, taking the kids to a nearby national …

The last three days of the month got a little interesting as far as meals went, just because we were out of most of the “fresh” stuff and living much more off the shelf-stable pantry items.

A Snapshot of My Life Today 10/25/21
Since we’re rapidly approaching the end of October, I figured I’d best squeeze in a Snapshot of Today post before I ran out of time! I’ve loved doing these every month for the past several months, as it’s fun to look back and see how much things change (and don’t change) as time goes on. …
Zero Food Waste Challenge {2}
Ever since the first post in this series that I posted a week ago after cleaning out my refrigerator, I’ve been focusing daily on trying to use up any odds and ends we have before they end up in the trash can. While my weekly record isn’t perfect, we did use up a LOT of …
