Five Things Friday

I started seeds this week! I always get so excited for spring and usually start seeds way too early. This year I think I’m just about right. We could still have some frigid temps, you never know with Missouri! I started the usual tomatoes and peppers, but I am also trying some herbs like Arnica and a gourd called Luffa! You can grow them and then when they are mature you break them open and have a homegrown Luffa sponge! I really hope they do well!
I made Bovre Cheese this week! It is the easiest cheese to make, and my kiddos loved it! It’s like Chevre, but made with cow’s milk so it’s called Bovre!
I also made Lotion Bars! They too are super simple to make, and would make a great gift for teachers or friends and neighbors!
Are you a fan of Joanna Gaines…of course you are! I just bought both of her cookbooks! I find that a new cookbook every once in a while gets me out of a dinner planning funk! Her books are beautiful of course! But the best part? They are really inexpensive right now! Magnolia Table and Magnolia Table 2 Gathering. They are each less than $20! That is a steal for a big hardcover book!
I’m reading a Proverb a day for the month of March. I am joining a few ladies on Instagram. Anyway, this one is one that we talk about a lot in our house. “In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin; but he who refraineth his lips is wise.” Proverbs 10:19. The Bible talks over and over again about ruling your tongue. If you can bridle it, you are doing good! Our words are so powerful, especially as mamas, goodness we have got to watch it, don’t we? These little people looking up to us and learning from our words!
One more…a bonus. A friend and I have a group on Facebook called Homesteading and Farmhouse Deals and Steals. We each share a link or two every day on the best farmhouse or homesteading deals that we come across. I would love for you to join us!
