The weather outside is //
As I look outside my window // There is so much to see! The summer garden is coming along and wildflowers are popping up all over. Man, I love this time of year.
As I look around the house // It’s Week 3 of my frugal summer challenge and I think I’m going to focus my efforts in the kitchen. Homemade bread, tortillas, and freezer waffles are all on the docket, as well as preserving some of the harvest from the spring garden. I just bought a pressure canner and I’m intimidated but also excited to try it out.
Starting // another new summer project: a “just in case” emergency binder, a place to hold all of our account numbers, passwords and medical information. My husband and I have talked about making something like this for years! After looking at a few options, I think I’m going to purchase this printable kit and go from there.
