Life has gotten in the way, and the first thing to go was the diary entries, I'm afraid.
So what have we been up to?
Well, we've had a week in the middle of nowhere in Scotland, we have been training with our Murphy, who is now 9 months old and bigger than his mama (!!) and we have been considering our diet, as DH has been diagnosed with Diabetes!
This has prompted us to take that last step to eliminate all the processed food left in our diet, apart from the odd treat on a Saturday night!!
- We are investigating the benefits of Raw Milk, and providers we can have access to where we are, ready for the new year.
- We have cut out the sweet treats, after looking at damaging effects of refined sugar , A staple in my diet, and realizing I am HIGHLY addicted to it.
- We have begun eating a lot more butter, live yogurt and animal fat.
- I have made my first batch of lacto-fermented-sauerkraut and it tastes delicious!!! (DH is getting used to the taste...)
So all that on top of Homeschooling all 4 children now, with the challenges that Little Bud presents, and getting ready for....um, what was it,....oh yeah CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (my favourite time of year!!)
Phew!!!
I will try to be more forthcoming!!
Here is the beautiful view from our holiday cottage just to be going on with...
