Sorry I have been away for a week, I was asked to work with a wonderful animal rescue group creating a piece for their online auction. That's about all I can say about it now, but I will keep you posted.
I have also been getting ready to start our garden. We have had a garden every year, but this year I really want to reassess what we plant. We love to entertain with BBQ parties over the summer and I would love to grow all of the veggies we usually grill.
This year we also made serious commitments to our fitness and overall health and have been following work out and meal plans very diligently (I'll be doing a review of my process at the end). My husband and I have cut our grocery bill in half following our meal plans! Crazy I know. However, we are eating a lot of vegetables every day and that's about 1/2 of our remaining grocery bill.
I would love to grow all of the veggies we eat daily not only to know that our fruits and veggies are organic with no pesticides, but also it would be really great to cut our grocery bill down to about $50 a week. Who wouldn't want that?
We have a fairly large yard, but with no kids of our own yet we have decided to cut 1/2 of our yard and turn it into garden. When our nieces an nephews come over there is still room for them to run around and play, but having access to plentiful fruits and vegetables has been invaluable. By making the space larger we not only have more room for planting, but we also have larger paths in-between the rows so that my father can get through with a walker and use the garden as well.
I am so excited to get started and be able to give you guys some good reviews soon on our work out programs and our garden/grocery budget. Let me know what else you would like reviews on.
Until next week,
-Mary
