Not sure if I’ve mentioned it before, but we used a lot of our tax return this year to invest in something we’ve always wanted to do: bulk meat directly from the farm! (The upfront price is quite steep, so this was the only way we could financially afford it.) Anyway, Mark picked up our order today and it was so exciting! I had every intention of neatly organizing the deep freezer, but got overwhelmed by the sheer amount and we just started tossing them in! Oh man…I know I’m going to regret that decision later on. A project for another day. (This also crosses off 100 Little Things #12!)
A New Baby Cousin!
My cousin just had her second baby and I’m so sad that we live so far away! So grateful for pictures in the meantime. I sent out this super sweet card from Paper & Peonies (affiliate link) right away.
#28things7days, Week Two Day Five
I’m quickly realizing how random this decluttering challenge has become, ha! Today’s grouping includes: a pair of soccer shin guards, a book, a building guide for shelving, a Bible case (I think? this must have been a hand-me-down) and some round plastic pieces from unknown origins.
A New Bar of Soap
In other exciting news, I chose a new bar of soap to use from my stash from Borden Acres (affiliate link)! It’s the little things in life, right? This time I went with Grapefruit & Orange, which has a really fresh scent. Borden Acres has become my go-to source for soap (you can find lots of small soap businesses in this post) and I highly recommend them. I always choose the 3/$20 or 5/$30 options and forgo the packaging for even more savings. She ships super fast and has a great coupon code for returning customers too.
Bulk meat from a local source can seem expensive with the initial sticker shock but saving $$ every time you go shopping is a wonderful feeling!!! almost as lovely as a fresh bar of citrus soap! 😉
I was just saying that exact thing to my husband! What a cool feeling to just “go shopping” from the comfort of your own home, ha! With the beef and our own chickens, we’ll just need to raise a few pigs to round out our meat sources.
