It has been so hard to keep up with my blog in the new
school year. So I have come up with a plan to help me reflect better on my life
goals and to keep track of my daily happenings so I can better improve on
The goals I have in my life are in line with all the tabs I
started on my blog.
Tab Country Home: My goals for my home are partially finished,
after all finding the right property with the least population and land needs.
The property I found was a terrible fright with all the mess that needed
cleaned up. I have done a lot of that and we are now in the building stage. I
hope to finish the house in the next two years. Some of the goals for my
country home overlap my critter and gardening goals as well.
Coupons: I like to be thrifty. Let’s face it teachers don’t
make the kind of money that allows one not to be concerned about the price of
things, and I am ok with that. Anyone can make smart choices in shopping if
they really put some thought into it, so my goal is to be as thrifty as
possible. These goals in my coupon tabs also overlap with reusing!
Critters: What homestead is complete without proper farm
animals. My goals include a chicken house with a variety of breeds of chickens,
ducks, peacocks, and turkeys. Goats for meat, grazing, and milk. Pigs for the butcher and horse and buggy.
Fishing (and hunting): I am hoping to find close areas that
I can fish well. We are wanting to bow hunt as well on our land. We also want
to forage for local food sources, I may have to change the name of this tab to
something else in the future.
Gardening: I have a ton of goals here lets start with structures.
I want a green house and a drying house I want a small vineyard area large
veggie garden including many varieties of veggies that can be stored over time.
I want an herb garden as well. I want to irrigate my property and let’s not
forget landscaping. Including a directional garden a calendar or solstice
garden, water garden and the initial presentation of my property needs to be
beautified!
Repurpose: Who likes trash everywhere, not me! We have no
trash service I don’t want piles of trash around nor do I want to burn
everything. I want to learn to reuse things property including composting.
Teacher Tab: I started this tab just for a book study I
wanted to take part in over the summer but I think it would be a great idea to
keep it going by using it to reflect on my projects and ideas I am working on
not to mention the new education program I will be entering into to get my administrators
certification added to my certificate.
