What’s coming in 2022 for A Year Without the Grocery Store readers? Most years, by January 1st, I have a good idea of the main objectives that I wish to accomplish in the coming year. This year is no different in one way. I do have several items that are […]
WeIl, it’s January 1, 2022, and I’m sitting at my desk thinking back over last year on our new homestead and considering this new year that we’re facing. Normally by this time I would have all of my plans in place and started working toward (and purchasing for) their implementation. […]

I have discovered something about myself. I like having a plan. Do you ever find yourself wanting the same thing? Do you feel better if you have a plan in place whether it’s just a plan for your week or a plan for doing laundry if you’re without water or […]
