This week’s real food meal plan and agenda focus on getting settled and unpacked and finally having a few minutes to bake!
We’re here! We’re here! Today is our first full day living on the farm. We wish it didn’t have to start with a winter storm. But we are happy to be here.
More Excitement.
This week is also exciting because my son is now a home schooler!! I’m so overjoyed to have all of my kids home with me. There is so much we want to do and learn. My kids are the most excited to explore the farm right now.
But first we need to unpack a few boxes. I’m sure that will be an ongoing process for the next few months. For this week my goal is to get the important stuff we use on a daily basis unpacked and organized.
In The Kitchen.
I also need to get caught up in the kitchen! I feel like my kids have been living on (store bought) crackers for the last two weeks. I’m giving myself grace because, well, life. Things were just CRAZY the last couple weeks (staying up Friday night to individually wrap plates and cups is just not my thing). But now I’m ready to break in the new house with some good baking (anyone want to come clean the oven for me??).
I’m sure it will be simple staples, like muffins and crackers. But I’m still excited. Christmas baking will have to wait until after Christmas this year as we have one week now until out-of-town family is coming for a few days! Someone please tell me why I agreed to that? Oh, right…because I hate to travel and had no intention of packing a week after moving!!
Thank You!!
Thank you all for following along with our journey to start this crazy farm, homeschooling life!! I can’t wait to share more with you for years to come.
