My daily journal stopped, because I went to a women's retreat for the weekend, then came back and spent a few days going through a stomach flu and recovering. So now I'm back out of the habit of housecleaning, but would like to start that up again. Read More...

August 15, 2007: Today I finally baked three loaves of Three-Flour Bread, but again it was a little over-baked, and I had put in too much whole wheat flour, so they came out rather hard. They taste pretty good, though. I spent most of the day researching Read More...

August 14, 2007: I spent a little over an hour cleaning again this morning. It was great, but afterwards I felt wiped out (the mopping usually does this). I noticed, though, that since I've started noticing dirt more, I have less tolerance for it, Read More...

August 12, 2007: Today we ate slices of sourdough toast, but it is so sour-tasting (all that long rising) that we can only stomach it with jelly on top. Some breads just are a flop. I ended up disposing of the loaves, after several attempts at eating Read More...

August 9, 2007: Today I was a little tired from all of yesterday's activities, but not too much. I registered the girls with their schools in the morning and we had karate class. I spent the afternoon sewing with my friend, Kathryn. For supper we Read More...

August 8, 2007: Today my energy has finally returned! I ran errands in the morning, after I attempted making applesauce for our breakfast pancakes. It tasted delicious, if a little tart, but I really do need a food mill, so the rest is keeping in the Read More...

August 8, 2007: Today I made Oven-Baked Apple Pancake for breakfast using the cooking apples. Everyone else seemed more interested in cereal and milk, and I ended up enjoying the apple pancake for breakfast, morning snack & lunch! Yummm... I had no Read More...

August 6, 2007: Sean and I had stayed up so late after my busy day out with the kids that on Sunday (August 5), I was at-the-end-of-my-rope tired and just rested all afternoon after church. It's been raining hard every afternoon so the gardens are Read More...

August 4, 2007: Today Sean needed me to take the kids out all day so he could concentrate with his work and meet his deadline. So we spent the day at a Santa's North Pole (a small kids theme park) and had a lot of fun and ate junk food. I had started Read More...

August 3, 2007: Today my friend Kathryn came to help me sew (in exchange for tutoring her daughter this summer) and she brought me three dozen fresh eggs from her hens! The kids had just harvested fresh coriander seeds this morning (they enjoyed picking Read More...

August 2, 2007: I'm making kefir now and Sean and I enjoyed a vanilla kefir smoothie today. Shannon and I asked the neighbors for their apples and gave them some fresh Romaine from our garden in exchange. The guy said they didn't care about the Read More...

August 1, 2007: Today I focused on using as little electricity as possible. This meant not turning on any lights during the day, relying instead on only natural light. In the evening, I kept all extra lights off, and kept the kitchen lights pretty dim, Read More...

July 30, 2007: Today I baked two loaves of Pilgrim's Bread (recipe below) as we're on our last store-bought loaf. It turned out delicious! We are running out of toilet paper. My family won't go for the water and air-dry method, so I'll Read More...
