Tyler, Texas Hello Reader, Our hot water heater went out this week, so we had to go a few days with only cold water or with no water at all. And let me tell you! With eight people in a household contributing to the stacks, the dirty dishes and smelly laundry pile up impressively fast (and deep and wide)! By the time the water was back on, we had our work cut out for us. We started washing and scrubbing and tidying up, and have been at it ever since. Which put me in the mood for sharing a few household cleaning and organizational posts for this week's link list. Hope you'll find them helpful/motivating for tidying your nest, too! Free resources for you this week:
What I'm reading this week:What we're eating this week:We're still trying to increase the number of purely plant-based meals we're eating, and this scrumptious tomato basil soup is a great choice for a light lunch. Pair it with wholegrain toast or a side salad instead of the grilled cheese sandwich if you're cutting down on dairy. This week's reader request:I received a message from a reader this week in search of party games for an upcoming church event, so I went through my old posts and tagged every game I could find. That should make it much easier for her (and you?) to find them now! The following are just a very small sample of the dozens available on our website--we have a game for almost every occasion: On the podcast this week:Progress on last week's goals:I ✅ did a little painting with my daughters, ✅ spent the weekend in Round Rock, ✅ organized two kitchen cabinets, ✅ organized two pantry shelves, and ✅ finished two soldering projects. I did not ❌ reduce emails to <10 messages (holding out at 22 presently) or ❌ paint the maple tree or birdbath on my backyard mural. Between the water heater blowing and our being out of town, I just couldn't get those last two items knocked out this week. So I'm moving them to this week's list (again). But if I can't mark them off the list by next Wednesday, I'm going to give up trying for now. Personal goals this week:
