It’s officially summer vacation here at the farmhouse and I am so ready. With the extra time in our schedule, I’ve got some big goals: decluttering the entire house, finishing up a handful of house projects, training Lucy, ramping up selling on Poshmark, and reading at least half of the books on my nightstand…and sticking to my book buying ban until then! Here we go!
INTENTIONS FOR THE END OF MAY
- start Operation Declutter Everything!
- complete T25 Gamma Weeks 1&2
- stain the front porch (100LT #60)
- mulch the front flower beds
- buy a few plants for the flower pots
- have the gutters cleaned
- clean windows from the outside
- figure out a way to discourage wildlife from eating our compost pile
- list 10 items on Poshmark
- create a new system for keeping Poshmark inventory organized
- try out the local farmer’s market (100LT #100)
- make granola
- try making french toast mugs using the ends of bread loaves

Granola! It's such a good start to my day, but gets more expensive as I get choosier with what I eat. I've been browsing recipes, too.
I totally agree! I can't afford $5 a bag when we go through it in one sitting, hah! This is the recipe I typically use (https://thebigwhitefarmhouse.blogspot.com/2018/06/no134-homemade-vanilla-granola.html) but let me know if you find something yummy!
