I’m getting a late start to my menu posting today. Our power was out most of the night. It’s finally back and I’m getting on with my to-dos now.

Last week was insanely busy both at home and with all of our outings. I’m sure this week will be busy as well. But hopefully I don’t push myself too hard. This is the only week I have to go blueberry picking. I’m trying to decide if it fits in our schedule and if I’m physically up for it.

Yesterday was cherry picking day. We got almost  40 lbs. We’ve dealt with about half of them so far. The other half will be today.

I’m still working on stocking my freezer for while I’m in the hospital and after I come home. So I’m basing our meals around what I want in the freezer. It’s hard to do that in combination with preserving fresh produce (hopefully we’ll stock up on blueberries this week and our beans are just getting started!) and making time for baking and new kitchen projects.

Today I am at 34 weeks. Only 39 days to go! That’s not much. I better keep working.

If you missed it don’t forget to enter the coconut oil giveaway!!!
