From Cabin to Camelot

Oct. 17, 2009 - Chore Day Around the Sub

It's Saturday and around here that means chores. Funny my children have never seemed to agree :)

Saturday also means baby food making day!

This weeks menue will include: apple/pear sauce, carrots and squash. Yum!

While living with the "less is more" attitude, one must continually make adjustments. Do we NEED this verses WANTING this, a concept I have to contunually practice~ for those who know me, know I have a sickness called "shopping".

I think all in all I have been doing really well in the "carbon footprint" reduction phase of our newfound lifestyle. Many things I have just contiued on, other things I've had to give up. The worst being my Fuzzi Bunz, here come the tears, I love cloth diapering, always have.

Unfortunatly until the Sub gets equipped with a washer/dryer combo, paper diapers have replaced my beloved all-in-ones and flannel wipes. I am encouraged to find bleach-free and gel-free choices at the local market now (rather than having to order through a far away co-op).

Don't forget, when it doubt: Check it out!

At this site you can search toxicity levels from anything to shower gels to baby wipes.

One of the things on my list to tackel in the Sub are the KNOBS! These knobs are a sore spot to be sure! Loose, wiggly, popping off here and there... sigh, time for some serious "Honey-Dos!

What do ya think? Am I cracking the whip a little too harshly?

NAHHHHHHH......

Dad's motto

Speaking of "No Idle Time", it seems as I stuggle to even get casted on and begin knitting the Suprise Jacket (http://www.schoolhousepress.com/patterns.htm ) for Sam, Katey has "book learned" herself on how to make socks!
