Follow me as my day goes on, through homesteading or mothering tasks.  I can’t be tied to the smartphone or computer ALL day updating every little thing, but I’ll do as much as I can.  My user name over there is FromScratchGirl.  Feel free to follow me, and you can see all I’m up to as we prepare to move.

By the way, I’m still sticking to one of my new years resolutions of trying one new “from scratch” recipe each week.  It’s more like a few to a lot each week.  We just made some hard pretzels today, and tootsie rolls and peeps over the next few days.  Not exactly HEALTHY recipes, but it’s a lot of fun to know I can make these things.  Wonder if I can store the tootsie rolls in the freezer… We don’ t let the kids eat much sugar because of the hugely negative effect it seems to have on them, but a little bit once in a while is ok, and they’d love homemade tootsie rolls…

We’re moving again!

This time to our very own home. We’re buying a house back in Michigan, and we’re getting out of the rough and often violent city we’re living in now. I’m so excited for the possibilities.

Things will probably continue to be quiet on this end until we’re settled and back to doing homesteading-like things (which will begin again in the spring, aside from normal activities indoors such as sewing, cooking from scratch and making things… Which I will promise to try and get better about posting about those activities, too).

We’ll hopefully be moving mid to late April, just depends on when the current residents vacate.

I’m so excited to have our very own home… One in which we can really unpack and feel at home in, and one which will allow us more opportunities to become more self sufficient.
