I Did It...kind of !

Yes my friends, it has been a long time since I've last posted.  I have to wonder sometimes if this blog is mainly to keep me motivated, but I hope it helps others also.  In keeping with my last post- the answer to the question is Yes!  

Yes, I have completed some of my personal goals I posted about, including toiletries, cleaners, and food:

  • Hard-lotion (little lotion bars; rub them in your hands and they soften and spread like lotion.)

  • Citrus/vinegar all-purpose cleaner (love, love this, but I only make it when I have free citrus!)

  • Dry laundry soap (love this and give to my kids and mom to use!)

  • Different quinoa recipes

I've been canning chicken and ground beef, but I haven't been very creative in the decorating department (you know how you put things off you really don't know how to do?), and I did try to clean my house! 
 

I haven't actually sewn anything from start to finish, but does altering and sewing on buttons count?  

And I have taken on a large undertaking; in April a freak storm demolished our carport and back portion of our home; we have spent many hours cleaning up and now that the exterior is completed the inside work remains to be done...this will be my mega-undertaking project!

 

So the past many months have not been wasted; I feel like I've been progressing in my preparedness efforts, but I still have a lot more to do.  There are times when I feel like I have been continuously running, then I look back and it seems I haven't gone very far...that is when I keep putting one foot in front of the other and just keep on moving!  

 

Look for more soon, it is canning time and 120 lbs. of pears are calling my name~

Contact me for support, encouragement, or any other help I can give!  

Keep on with your efforts, we are all in this together.
