I know there has been a lot of talk about self-sufficiency and I’ve even written about it a bit but can anyone truly be self-sufficient?
Is self-sufficiency possible?

Stomach Bugs, Garden Bugs, and a Bathroom Remodel
Whew! What a week… we finally got started on our master bathroom remodel but it is far from being completed. When we started peeling back the flooring we found that this was not the first time the floor had been ‘fixed’ and we also found more of the drywall mud patches on the floor like we had found in the kitchen and laundry room. We also found that some of the previous fixes included glue and nails which made the removal process more tedious but more on that in a bit.
Our garden has been coming along quite well other than a surge of pests which are eager to eat all of the food we’ve been working so hard to grow. The weather has been extremely hot but we have been getting a few showers that have helped. I did invest in a couple of new sprinklers that I’ll try to share about later. We have been putting up a few more videos on YouTube as well if you’d like to check them out.
Friendly Reminder – Holiday Planning
Hey everybody!
I know it has been very busy around here and it seems that we truly have been jumping from one challenge to another here lately but we are surviving! We pray that you are doing well too and that everyone is starting to feel like they can breathe a little easier with all the events that have unfolded around us recently.
I really don’t want to think about the holidays yet but they are fast approaching. I know that they will be a little different this year but that’s ok. We are so blessed and thankful for all that we already have. I just wanted to throw out a couple little reminders of things that you can do now if you are planning any special dinners or events. We know that getting family and friends together can help lift everyone’s spirits and we like to try to have a few special events a year… this year has been a little extra but that’s ok.
Now is the time to start looking for Christmas decorations… if you wait much longer then they may be gone. Take a few minutes this weekend and look over your plans for Advent, Christmas, or Polar Express to see what things you may need to get so that you can start buying them now. If you are planning to do something for St. Nicholas Day then now would be the time to start looking for those gold-covered coins and any study guides or activity ideas that you would like to use.
