Books help me to fantasize...and realize I need an epidural and feminine products of my choosing! :)<br /><br />I also have my first garden...25 corn, 5 green beans, 12 carrots, cantaloupe, and watermelon. Pathetic compared to my Amish neighbors!<br /><br />I am trying to cook/bake more. I have no desire to pluck a chicken, but I can roast a whole one.<br /><br />Do you sew or craft? I've been trying to sew a bit. Learn as you go. I'm planning a homemade Christmas mostly.<br /><br />AND My daughter, Meghan is 2 1/2 and I have a baby son, too. Evan is 7 months. :) I saw your post at Christy's blog...and your daughter's age...and had to come say hi. :)Annette W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02498639468291720406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517996276941291410.post-33781048268803490592009-06-11T16:42:09.142-07:002009-06-11T16:42:09.142-07:00This looks very yummy.

I have never tried it before, so I am a little intimidated, but looking at yours I have more hope.<br />I would also like to bake cookies from scratch. A few times I attempted cookies, I always used premade dough.Natalie PlanetSmartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531558038661679151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517996276941291410.post-2901171960703198202009-06-07T15:33:18.462-07:002009-06-07T15:33:18.462-07:00Way to go Jennifer!

I too want a more simpler life, even if it brings more work - there is more to gain!<br /><br />Here is my list:<br /><br />1.Make a new sourdough and get back in the habit of baking my own bread again. <br />2. Start grinding wheat again (I have gotten so lazy)<br />3. Stop buying processed cereals and find more creative granola recipes<br />4. Make myself a tunic style jumper that I can wear around the house <br />5. the list could go on an on<br /><br />Truth be known, I had so many aspirations when I changed my blog title and have been struggling with why I am struggling with it (and why I keep changing it back and forth!) and came to find out that I set my expectations to high and tried to do it all too quickly and felt like giving up.
