Bread on the Grill

The one thing that we have all missed during this remodel was so much the kitchen, but what came out of it.  I have been baking 99.8% of our bread for the last 15 years.  I have probably purchased it only a handful of times.  Homemade bread beats store bought bread hands down!  I have tried many different brands and kinds and they all just taste like cardboard to me.

We were supposed to have our stove hooked up Monday, and then Tuesday, and well...we hit some minor snags so the stove is still not hooked up.  I couldn't take it anymore.  I wanted fresh milled, homemade bread.  So I did what any desperate woman would do, I got creative!!  I had a cast iron bread pan and baked our bread in the grill today.  It turned out beautiful.  We had egg salad sandwiches (from our chickens), on homemade bread, and a salad taken right from our garden.  It was a great supper!

First Day of Homeschooling~Nearing the Finish Line

Image
We started on this journey 17 years ago, pretty much with no clue what we were doing. Hubby and I were both public school graduates, who leaped, both feet first, into the world of homeschooling with our five children. The three oldest had a year or two under their belt, the youngest two never stepped inside a school building. It was hard, wonderful, scary and fulfilling all at the same time. I know that is one my greatest achievements here on this earth.   The first day of school picture looks very different this year. Just him and I. My baby (not so much). Things change as they get older, learning to read and write is taken over by career goals and job searches. Making sure they can balance a checkbook, do laundry, and boil water for food (the struggle is real 😊😊) I find myself missing the days of reading out loud as all six of us pile on the couch in the afternoon. But as I see our four oldest ones, and the adults they have become, some married, one a mom, all working and livi

Friday on the Farm ~ My Crazy Life

Image
I am pretty sure reality TV shows are birthed out of lives like mine. Over the last four years we have gutted and remodeled a huge portion of our farmhouse, graduated three children from homeschool, became foster parents to four children under 2 years old, started a daycare to continue care for two of these kiddos and expanded the daycare to include others that are in our care still today. All the while keeping up with our small farm, Hubby's day job changing and growing and his radio ministry continuing. Crazy. There really is no other word that explains it better. Somewhere along the way I lost parts of myself that I truly love. Simple things like baking and cooking, making things, crocheting and knitting, even my spinning of yarn from our animals became tedious because there was always something else. God has a way of answering prayers in the least likely of ways. Yup, that is a lock box. Yup, we're selling the farm. In the last 6 weeks we spotted a lake house for sale
