Hello nostrworld. It's been a hot minute, but I'm going to give this another try.
Anyone else have a problem getting rid of books? I can get rid of everything in my house. But ask me to part with books and it's like I'm losing a part of my soul.

Fun screen-free time this morning at a state park. We took a hike and found a waterfall!
Then I found out about free bowling for kids over summer.

Made 3 batches of soda bread today. Got 2 large and 2 small loaves. Tomorrow it will be 6 smaller loaves!
This one was baked in my cast iron skillet.

Got my state park pass today. Here's to a fun year exploring!
I found out one of the local parks has a storytime each week, so we'll be heading there on Friday to learn about wind and fly some kites!

Love my vacuum sealer attachment, using it for sealing fresh pecans right now. I even bought a $6 vacuum sealer that i found at the resale shop, just for this purpose. I vacuum seal all kinds of dry goods in jars using this method. #homesteading #grownostr #VacuumSealer https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/8d9d2b77930ee54ec3e46faf774ddd041dbb4e4aa35ad47c025884a286dd65fa/fd3a8b759f01536bea0206bd832c71fa80ec9cdcefedb00f78a76923f56e3a3d.webp
Nice! My inlaws got us a vacuum sealer for Christmas. I need the attachment for Jara and cannot wait to try it out!

Cotton and wool are all we wear here. I've been slowly transitioning myself, but have only bought cotton for the kids since they were born.
It definitely makes a difference!
I decided to have the kiddos make turkey placemats today. They started out strong, and then it devolved to a mess of painted hands going everywhere. 🤣

My 6 year old and 2 year old love them. We've got Season 1 graphic novels and DVD.
And the history & toddler books!
Oh, I've decided the tv is going into the basement. My husband is too focused on it when he is home, and the kids are getting that way, too.
I'm perfe try fine with the radio in the background while we read.
There's a new Muppet Babies cartoon. We've watched the first 2 seasons, no issue. But the end of Season 3, you get "Gonzo-ella" and then he does a song in the final episode dressed up in the dress and costume.
#My3Things
1. Finish email & shorts for the week (the weekend got away from me with all the trunk or treats and Hallowe'en stuffs!)
2. Homeschool lessons
3. Read (I'm trying to get more intentional about reading for 15-30 minutes a day)
