Carmella:

This is so mindful on Layering. Sure seems like an more simple ways to manage and to have guidelines, methods.

We will continue to Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose, want to learn how to make homemade broths,( My Parents were so good).

Thank you,

Karen

Oh, yes, do make broth! It's really not hard and the result is so rewarding (and tasty!)

Love the thought: if it is simple and calming, it's a yes. If it is harsh or builds tension, (don't recall your exact words), it's a no. Gentle guidelines Thank you, as always.

Yes, life is hard enough, isn't it? We can't go trying to fit things in where they don't belong.

I love that you are thinking more about zero waste. The vegetable broth from ends of carrots and onion skins makes delicious rice. I use it for many things, not only for the taste, but the added nutrition. I find it a lot of fun to find ways to use "the ends of meals". I just found out that I am going to have another great grandchild and this time it's a girl! I'm back to knitting doll clothes.

Sad news to relay. Our precious Lillian Grace died in utero on Friday. We are heartbroken. I am praying that this little family will feel God's arms around them and find peace.

Thank you for the useful thoughts. Sourdough is something I started up again. After a season of no feeding and discarding, my family was hungry for sourdough discard crackers again. Yes, I am keeping sourdough starter and feeding it only for the discard to make crackers with. It’s a new choice for a new season, and I am loving it. Somehow, based on this post, I thought you would understand. Thank you again.
