The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

October 2, 2015

{around here} Week 39/52: Week of 9.28.15


A collection of our ordinary days, recorded every week.  At the end of the year, I’ll publish them into a keepsake to treasure.

Around here, I have been:


watching the rain fall all week.  All of our commitments have been cancelled, so we’ve been sticking close to home.  There’s something so soothing about being home when the weather is bad outside.  The only downfall to a week of dreary days?  Less than awesome photographs.



loving how Sophia calls a flashlight a “sunlight”: “You seen my sunlight, mama?”


baking more bread.  I smartened up and made three loaves at once this time, which lasted us two and a half days.  A personal record.


reading The Winter of our Disconnect.  This book is challenging me to put away the electronic distractions (I mean, how many times can you really scroll through Instagram?) and do the things I always say I’d like to do.      


listening to classical music during school.  I love how the kids have been picking out the  different instruments as they listen.  


choosing to go No Sugar again in October.  I’m hoping it will help alleviate some hormonal symptoms I’ve been having.  I’m also part of a Facebook group and the community there is really helpful.  

excited to have scored a deep freezer for $30 at our neighbor’s garage sale!  Just in time because we will soon be picking up our second Zaycon Fresh order: 80 pounds of chicken breasts!  #bigfamilyproblems


planning ideas and posts for this 31 Day Writing Challenge.  It’s scary and intimidating and exciting all at once.  Only 29 posts to go!
