Hello, world. What have you done over the last week? We’ve had church at home, coordinated with neighbors on Facebook to find out which stores have certain staples in stock (bananas, bread, milk), done an equal amount of stress baking and forgetting to eat (well, just me, anyway), and, oh yeah—-we had an earthquake yesterday. …
Loving and Learning Lately {23}
Welcome to Round 23 of this little series I started of all the things in life I’m loving and learning lately!

Suburban Homestead Diaries: Home/Yard Plans for 2020
Last year, I compiled a list of home and garden projects we hoped to complete by the end of 2019, which helped to keep us on track with our goals as we had a “big picture” to look at. However, if you actually look at what we were able to accomplish on that list, we …
