Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop! I’ve been working on my routines lately. I’ve always done better with a routine. I have less stress, and I get more accomplished. Yet whenever life gets crazy, it seems like my routines go out the window. Then I realized...
Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop! I’m feeling good this week. My son is at Vacation Bible School, and as much as I hate leaving the house, it’s been a good motivator for me to get up and get stuff done first thing in the morning. It hasn’t been...
