I’ll try to keep this short and sweet so you can have a chance to check out these great sites and products! I started a list of sites and resources for March as we came to them.
These are some of our favorite resources from this past month:

I have written a little about Victory Gardens in past posts but recently I went so far as to incorporate them into our homeschool curriculum!
We used the booklet found HERE to calculate how much food we would need as individuals and for the family as a whole. Then we calculated how many rows of each vegetable we would need to supply those needs.
Using those numbers we were then able to calculate how much space we would need for a Victory Garden that would supply us with the majority of the fruits and veggies that we would need to give us an adequate amount of nutrition. This was a little more complicated than we originally expected and it took us several days to calculate the number of beds and rows that we would need.

No catchy title line here… no time for that today as the kids and the dog have been WILD! I’m exhausted and it isn’t even lunchtime yet!

This time of year gets crazy around here, and sometimes I feel like I can’t sign up for one. more. thing! I did however just sign up for these workshops. I can fit them into our school schedule, as we are schooling year-round, to help keep things fun and interesting.
I’m all about the quick and easy. I also think that it might come in handy to have the kids be a little more independent around the house as I am scheduled to be out of commission for a bit toward the end of summer… more on that later.
That’s why I’m loving these 3 video workshops from #LifeSkillsNow summer camp.
What do eggs, milk, and coffee have in common? Well, they can all be used for a variety of things and we often have them on our grocery list but right now they are also on my morning chores list. (Hopefully, 2 of the 3 will soon be off the grocery list.)
