Meal planning is a little different right now. There is a balance between using what we have on hand- pantry and freezer items, but still purchasing items so we don’t run out. Another thing we are doing is finding ways to be more self sufficient. It is really easy to feel overwhelmed right now. I recently blogged about ways that we are dealing with stress at this time- click here to read my post about it. Also if you need a way to workout at home- I have the perfect answer for you- click here to see the details on that!
Anytime that I am feeling overwhelmed, action helps. Doing something eases that feeling of Creating a city Homestead:
What does that mean? To us it means ~Becoming as self-sufficient as possible in the space that we have. This is something we have talked about for awhile, but with the current pandemic, those thoughts have turned to plans and actions.
So what have we done?
Supply our own eggs
We got baby chicks
Our chicken coop plans are made and supplies are purchased.
Growing our own fruits, veggies & herbs
Building 2 hoop houses
Half of the seedlings are planted
Aquaponics farming
So we are well under way of building our Homestead. Now on to the meal planning!
