Weekend Review

We had a fun and productive weekend. The weather was BEAUTIFUL. Saturday consisted of going to the farmers' market, a gumbo competition put on by local churches, and I even got to run some errands sans baby. Sunday, we did lots of things around our house. Me less so, because sweet, teething Iris only wanted mommy. RJ was a rockstar with doing laundry, grilling ribs for his co-workers (which is developing into a little side business), and planting my new blueberry bushes in the backyard. Hopefully we will be seeing some blueberries soon! I had a few herbs  in my garden come back from last year, so I transplanted them so they are now grouped together. 

Sunday, I really felt the Holy Spirit speaking to me about making our home more Christ centered. I listened to a few old sermons from our pastor, talking about our current culture. Our home really needs to be a place of sanctuary in Christ. A place where we can be refreshed and nourished to go back out into the world.

Farmers' Market

Yesterday was the opening day of a big farmers' market in our town. Vendors from all over the state come to sell their goods. The more I learn about food and the food industry, the more reasons I find to buy as much as I can from local farmers. We racked up on produce for the next two weeks, and I even ordered a pastured chicken, that will be ready in May. If we like it, then I will now have a local source for beef and chicken, which is so exciting. The only disappointment was RJ didn't find the pickles he was so excited about getting. Hopefully they will be there soon. Oh, and everyone ooed and ahhed over Iris, who did great in her moby!
