I’ve read some of your posts and love them. As you say, part time is ok too. Do what you can and enjoy the process and no big deal if it doesn’t work, you’ve tried it and that’s all that matters. But always see that tiny bit of good and joy….to do so we need to slow down and appreciate what is around us.
I love your journey, except for the floods!
All the best Alexa

I have only just discovered your blog and love your philosophy. Sustainability is something I strive for and it can be done baby steps at a time…like me, part time. :)

I think the trick is as you said, to make it a challenge and to think outside the square. Usually the old fashioned ways were done for a reason. We can still have a fabulous celebration meal simply by having it at home and cooking up then presenting at the lovingly set out table. We just have to think differently and treat it as an adventure…I do also know that some are doing it really tough and that hurts.
Thanks for your kind comments. I’ll be back visiting your site.
Take care.

Ps…magazine subscriptions are nice but there’s lots to read on the internet these days which really helps and fills that gap.

I’ve simply been trying to consume less and less. It’s kind of a challenge now, one I try to beat each week. I shop less for groceries, cancelled many magazine subscriptions, use clothes I’ve neglected for quite some time. And I use varied craft remnants for activities with my grandsons. (Of course, much of all that behavior is out of necessity, considering the economic mess of the past few years.) :-D

That photo of the cousins is adorable.

Thank you for visiting Grandma’s Briefs yesterday. Such a pleasure to connect!

Cheers!
