The first Monday homemaking notes of 2023!

The weather outside is //

As I look outside my window // We have had a relatively mild January so far, which is a bummer for my kids (they desperately want snow!) but great for getting me outside. This week looks to be in my favor again if I can dodge the rain clouds.

As I look around the house // This is the week I get back to my cleaning routine! We were pretty loose with our routines during that post-Christmas fog and I still haven’t found my groove in the new year. Some tasks I’d like to accomplish: scrub down the kitchen cabinets, organize all of the random ribbons/papers from Christmas and pack them away for next year’s packages, and declutter a bit of the schoolroom.

Researching // a better seed starting system. I need more space and lighting and would love a system like this, but the price!! Yikes. I think we can DIY something similar for a fraction of the cost. A trip to Home Depot is in order!

On this week’s to-do list // – complete my third annual winter reading challenge – list a few things on ebay/Poshmark/Pango – create a rough garden and food forest plan

– start making bread again
