Good morning, everyone!
Well, I knew last week would be busy and it was. I'll update you about Honey B at the end of this post.
Let's talk about the rooms we'll be working on this week.

Good morning!
Welcome to Week 2 on the cleaning agenda.
Good morning, everyone!
I was so intent on setting up blog posts on my author account for the month of July yesterday I totally forgot to post here.
I leave Thursday for a quick weekend trip to IL to see a dear friend so I've been trying to get a jump on July. That, and I'll be spending most of July in a Fast Draft Challenge to finish Book 2 in my Planned to Perfection Series. You'll find Book 1 HERE if you're in the mood for a Christmas read.
Hi everyone!
Sorry I didn't get this post up yesterday.
I missed last week because I was at a writer's retreat/ conference for six days. There wasn't a cleaning schedule. Bob was left to just pick up after himself. He does a really good job.
I got home a week ago today. On Wednesday I started getting my travel laundry done up and popped a couple of ribs (an old injury) while reaching into the bottom of the washing machine. I managed to wedge the edge of the machine between two previously injured ribs (between 3 & 4 on the right side).
I heard them POP! I've been baying the issue ever since with pain meds, ice packs and lots of reclining against the pillows to keep the two ribs from locking up.
As I said this has been a recurring injury. Once you break something, it always becomes an issue. I'm easing myself back into things but no bending/ lifting or any cleaning really. I put what dishes away that don't require reaching into lower cabinets and I'm cooking. Bob's been doing everything else. This will be my life for another two to three weeks, which really bums me out. I was planning a short trip to IL next week to meet up with a dear friend I've not seen in twenty years. Not sure when she'll make the trip from her home in CO back to IL.
I'll be back once I'm at least able to sit for periods of time and encourage you.
Be safe Be prepared Be Blessed

Good afternoon, friends!
I'm still on a deep cleaning around here and trying to get stuff put in some semblance of order in the office.
But it's also Week 1 of the cleaning process for the rest of the house.
Hi, everyone!
Happy Wednesday.
This year just seems to fly buy. I'm slowly getting the house in order.
For the past several months I've been focusing on our homestead projects, stocking the pantry ahead of Bob's retirement last December and finding new places to clear out to make room for homestead storage.
Now that I have that in line, I'm starting to focus on the monthly cleaning schedule again and trying to get my studio in order. I've been pitching, rearranging; all while getting back to the business of writing.
I still want to put stuff in Etsy but with the postal service not doing it's job, I'm afraid to ship anything unless I do it through UPS and I don't think people want to pay that price - even though I have. UPS is just more dependable.
Anyway, I just wanted to pop in and say posts will be more regular. I put them in my planner yesterday for the entire month of June as well as stickies on my production kanban board. I've missed the structure of my planners and the board.
I hope you're still here and will hop back on the train. We're going places with new topics related to the homestead. I can't wait to share them with you.
Be safe, Be prepared, Be Blessed!

Good morning, everyone!
I haven't been here in awhile but I have it scheduled to change that.
A writer friend of mine asked for my 'keto' breakfast cookie recipe so I thought it would be easier to share it with her here.
Three important notes:
I don't make these completely keto-friendly. First, I'm not on keto, just low-carb. To that end, I use real milk chocolate chips. There is about 1/4 C. in each batch and I only have 2 each morning. You CAN use Lilly's chocolate chips but I don't find them cost-effective on a limited income.
Second, you need to refrigerate them They will mold quickly.
The other note is that almond flour seems to make things dry. To help this, I wrap two in a paper towel and microwave them at about 12 min. and they aren't as dry.
With that in mind, here's the recipe:
Preheat Oven to 350* F.
1-1/2 C. Almond Flour
1 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder (I use the equate brand from Walmart but you can use your choice)
1/2 C. Melted Butter
2/3 C. Sweetener (I use Stevia)
1 tsp. Cinnamon (optional but good for blood sugar suppoprt)
2 Large eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp salt
chopped nuts (optional)
Sift dry ingredients together. Add butter to combine, then add eggs & vanilla
Scoop out onto parchment lined baking sheet (easier cleanup. - treat these as you would a choco. chip dough)
Flatten slightly.
Bake until edges are golden - about 10 minutes.
Remove to coolling rack.
I cut strips of the parchment paper from the baking sheet into strips about the width of the cookie and wrap 2 cookies per strip then store in air-tight container in the refrigerator.
Yields about 12 cookies.
Enjoy!
Be safe, Be prepared, Be Blessed!
