Today totally filled my cup! I had a friend come over and she was super excited to tell me about her homesteading and homeschooling journey! We talked about kids and potty training, adhd and what I’m doing for T to help, we worked together to clean up and reorganize some areas of my house… She’s super good at stuff like that and I am not. Never have been but hopefully will be one day! It was so nice to share our common goals and how we are working to get there.

Today I also had a follow up doctors appointment where they had a simple fix to my problem (can’t breathe… they gave me an inhaler) and went over my recent specialists appointments. She was SO excited for me to have such good reports from everyone. **For those that don’t know, I’ve been battling cancer since 2022. I have a lot of specialists and tests being run… HOWEVER, I think I’m nearing the end of my chemo treatment and I’m ecstatic!

Tonight, I am exhausted… it’s been an exhausting week. I just wanted a quick, heat up meal. I was willing to go back to our old way of life eating processed junk for the sake of an easy meal. It was a fight in my head, but easy won… however… the BEST way NOT to fall back into old habits? Only put fresh ingredients in your house! I do not possess any quick easy meals. Not saying cooking from scratch has to be hard, but to keep food from going bad before I use it, I meal plan and only buy the ingredients I need to make those meals. So … I have to stick to it. Tonight, we are having meatloaf and homemade mashed potatoes. I haven’t made homemade mashed potatoes in YEARS! It was always one of the kids favorite things so I’m happy to serve them tonight.

How has your day gone? I’d love to hear from you!!! What are you doing to move toward your goals?
