There are so many things I could write about, as we have been focusing on PEACE this month in our home. I have noticed ways that we can eliminate things to bring PEACE, and other things that need to be changed. We have had several appointments this month, and something that has struck me is how LOUD this world is.

If you saw the updates to the previous post, then you will know I was having a hard time making a decision about which calendar to use.
Both of them had things I really liked, the vertical one was easier to find a place to put and I really liked the layout.

We’re still in the middle of celebrating Sukkot so there hasn’t been a lot of gardening happening. I have a pile of plants to get in the ground and even more seeds to scatter around.
We have several beds to build and areas to clean up… then we plan to make another hoop tunnel to grow on for next year.
We’ve also got plans to build a new chicken coop and convert to old on for quail. We would also like to add some rabbits soon… hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop, and stop… that’s one of Shyanne’s favorite songs.
So many things to get finished but there is only so much time in a day. We just ask God to show us what needs done and ask for the strength and patience to see it through. He provides what we need, when we need it so we consider ourselves extremely blessed.
He will do the same for you, just trust in Him and hand your life over. It’s an amazing experience!
God Bless!
Our first Hobbit Day went well even though we had to postpone it once. We had planned to start with Breakfast at 7:00 on Saturday but we had overnight guests and a late night so it ended up being more like 7:45ish.
“Good morning! I’m not quite sure what you mean,” said Bilbo, “but my meaning was that I wish you a good morning, or rather, that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?” – Bilbo Baggins
Mr. Awesome got up early and put some meat on the smoker. He put a couple of lamb quarters on too as those would be used for the pot roast later on.
I used to think letting my kids near sharp knives was a recipe for disaster. Turns out, it’s the exact opposite.
When kids learn real knife skills, they actually become safer in the kitchen. They gain confidence, take ownership of meals, and (bonus!) start helping with dinner instead of just asking when it’s ready.
That’s exactly what this free knife skills class for kids delivers: practical instruction, real safety techniques, and fun activities that make kids excited to cook. My kids surprised me and so will yours!
