I’m NO Super Hero


Eery Fog Rolling in at Night

We are almost into August, where does the time go?  It goes fast doesn’t it?

 People are always asking me how I do it all or stating that they just don’t have the time to do what I do.  Well my answer to both is basically saying, We all have the same amount of time in each day and we all get to make the decision on how we use that time we are given.  I choose to use my time to grow my garden, grow our food, and grow our children all in the way I believe God wants us to.

I’m not special, I don’t have super powers, and I don’t have any more time than any of you.  So what do you choose to do with your time? No judgement here, I just pray you are doing all you can and all that God wants you to be doing.

Today it’s really muggy and hot out so I’m using my “time” to talk to you, publish some recipes and start the launch of my “Living Cleaner In the Home Handbook”!!

I’ll be releasing hopefully sooner than later the downloadable Ebook that’ll help you choose and create Cleaning Products for the Home that are safe, easy to make, and frugal as heck!  It’s all part of being a Food Prood!

My first Living Cleaner product will be my All Purpose Natural Cleaner.  You guys, it’s so easy to make and use. I use it so many times a day to clean up in my kitchen from all my messes.  Check out my Kitchen Counter Talks Series where you’ll see what my Kitchen Counters are saying!

Check out the All Purpose Natural Cleaner HERE!
It uses only 2 ingredients + spray bottle

Also it’s Grilling Season here in Northern Michigan!! And my husband Justin is a grill master, we use a smoker so he’s always trying out things from our own organic pasture raised pork and chicken. We are sooo blessed to be able to raise such delicious and healthy animals and I’m so lucky that he loves grilling! He’s created a Rub that we use on Whole Chickens, legs, wings, pork chops, loins, and many other meat cuts on the smoker.  I also created a BBQ Sauce that only takes 5 minutes that goes along perfectly with any grilled meat!!

So get outside, get grilling, get making that cleaner and get using your God given “time” to grow something!!
