This year we celebrated our Second Annual Real Food Challenge. Challenging ourselves and our readers to eat fewer processed foods and focus on eating Real Food for the entire month of March.
While the month of March is now over, we still plan to continue the Real Food Challenge by keeping in touch with our readers every few weeks. We want to support our community with advice, recipes, and even giveaways when possible so that all of us can live and eat healthier.
Whether you eat mostly fast food or already make just about everything at home, there's something for everyone in this challenge. We can all make a change whether small or large.
Join the challenge, check back often and give us your feedback - we're excited to hear how you're all doing in your quest to Eat REAL Food!
Holy crap don’t scare me like that! I just felt my mind do the mental equivalent of the foetal position…only yesterday Steve had to dig up half of Serendipity Farm to find the pipe that was leaking and then use his brain to work out how to fix it…he is the one that works out the computer problems (all of them…) he knows how to use the remote…he cuts down the trees, does the hard work and wheels that barrow…I think I would have to sell and move back to the city if he wasn’t here…note to self, don’t piss Steve off (too much) any more…
I have been amazed at what I can do without him– carried a bed downstairs. Installed air conditioners, dealt with customer service people and moved a piano (I confess, it was on casters, but still).
That’s a long list. I would have to learn wireless networking and anything involving drilling.
I do all the household stuff, including a lot of the crafty-buildy stuff. All I need to learn is how to handle customer service people without busting a gasket. Plus people for, literally, the heavy lifting (fortunately I have a strong son).
It is so hard to think about what that situation would be like. I see what others go through, bu I know it isn’t the same as being in it. I dislike trimming (after mowing) so my husband does that. I know I can and I would, I just don’t like it. I know there are tons of other things too, it would be a MAJOR adjustment and transition, that is for sure. Keep your eyes on the horizon.
Kudos to you Xan…if Steve ever moves out, I reckon you are stuck with me! How much is a ticket to your house from Tassie do you reckon? (Note to self… get saving!) 😉
