Meal Plan Monday

Meal planning is a super helpful way for our family to stay on track with eating (relatively) healthy and at home all week long. We have such a busy weeknight schedule - every night has something for someone and someplace for someone to be.  So meal planning it is.....

The First Calf of the Year

Meet Puzzle.

She's our first calf of the year.

Baby Bunnies!

The Farmer and I used to raise meat rabbits years ago, but gave it up.  I had four little ones under the age of 5 and was working full time.  He was working full time and teaching through the summer and we just couldn't keep up.  So we let it go.

Then we started 4H.  And the kids saw the bunnies.  And decided we needed some.

We hadn't really gotten around to looking into rabbits.  Then our sheep guy (the sheep superintendent for fair who is also the ag teacher at the ISD) called us up and said that he had some rabbits for us - for free!  

Homemade Laundry Soap

Laundry.  

Ugh.

It never ends, does it?  

I was thinking about laundry last night as I was folding a load that had sat in the dryer for a couple of days and re-washing the load in the washer.  I'm ashamed to say that this isn't an uncommon occurrence at our homestead.  I've tried several different systems for doing and keeping up with laundry, but it seems that what works now doesn't work then.

Anyway, as I was getting things going (there is a light at the end of this week's laundry tunnel - only three loads left in the laundry room!) I realized that I am almost out of laundry soap.

So I got to thinking about laundry.
