Worth Reading

A few posts I've enjoyed recently.
Simple Mom shares on the perfectionism that keeps us from starting a job because we can't do it thoroughly. I was inspired to jump into stenciling my kitchen, something I've put off for months!

And talking of perfectionism,  Keepers of the Home shares an honest look at keeping up nutrition during stressful times. I'm always in awe of the healthy food Stephanie cooks for her family and it was good to hear that she has busy times too! Be sure to take time to watch the vlog.

I'm looking forward to taking part of the Preserve The Bounty Challenge at Nourished Kitchen in August. I hope to learn some alternative preserving techniques to canning. I can't imagine myself giving up all canning (love that home canned soup) but I know I lose vitamins with the high heat. Want to join the challenge with me?

And some blog housekeeping...

I (finally) finished a recipe index! You'll find it in the tabs at the top of the page.  (If you reading this by feed or email, click over to the home page.) I love that I can actually find recipes now! Hope you find it helpful as well.

The winner of the finger puppet giveaway is Lynita! Thanks to all of you that entered.

And thanks to Susan at 2Beautifulfeet  for sharing her puppets with us!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
