    Let’s Talk About Food: It’s More Important Than You Realize

    March 22, 2020 /

    Let’s talk about food: It’s more important than you realize.  I’m working on a series of posts that I hope will encourage people to take a closer look at their food and begin to have a better understanding and appreciation of it.  With everything going on out in the world right now with this national quarantine, it’s more important than ever to take a look at this aspect of our lives.  Our daily lives are centered around food, without us even realizing it.  Honestly, I don’t think people give this a lot of thought.  Until I started to garden, I didn’t realize how much we center our lives around food.  From…

    I am absolutely blown away by what I was able to get accomplished this past week after we slowed down our homeschool schedule for the summer! We've tackled so much. I can only hope we'll be this productive over the next few weeks!
