Sometimes I forget where I live. We move around a lot. But, we came back here in 2008. I haven't always appreciated the beauty of the places I've lived in. I live right down the street from this impressive piece of History.

January Terra Organics Order 1

This is my first order for the New Year & One Small Change. I'm hoping it will get more fresh produce in our tummies and keep me from the grocery store. I'm hoping I can get in on the CSA this next month.










It weighed in at just about 22 pounds.  We never buy fresh Mango, so that is a plus.  We have never had a Crenshaw Melon, so that should be a fun new thing to try.  We are studying plants for homeschool and  the boys like to plant seeds from our fruits.  So, we will see if we can get anything to grow.

Bulk Tea

When we moved here, I couldn't find bulk tea anymore. In Seattle, I just walked up to the store and bought what I needed for the week. I liked getting different ones each week. But, my husband purchased me a tea set this Christmas. It has a tea container for bulk tea. See the cute little wooden scoop!

I'm trying to trim our food budget down this year, as well as build up a pantry for lean times. I'm not sure how long one pound of tea will last me. The container holds about half a pound.

One of my New Year things to do (don't make me say the R word)....a photo project for each month. I sat down with my husband to come up with words to describe each month. I'll try to keep my pictures in correlation with those words for my project. Check in to see what the new months project is.  You can find the Flickr set here.  If you want to join in with me, there is a flickr pool as well.  Otherwise, just share the pics on your blog.  If you join from here, will you drop me a line so I can see your blog.  I would love to keep up with what others are doing.  Feel free to make a button on your sidebar from the pic to let others know what we are doing!
