This Christmas I was given a book from a friend. After reading it (in a day) it inspired me to try something. Something that I have always wanted to do but just needed a push or maybe a shove. I have always wanted a "simple life" but need the convenience of the city...not so much the Big city but my little city. I absolutely have no desire ever in my life to live in a Big city or Downtown. I would rather live with a few acres running thru fields never caring what I wear or look like. Just a simple life taking care of kids,sewing,baking and living a healthy clean life.
In this book Called Made from Scratch it talks about having a container garden and how simple and rewarding it is. Well guess what...WE as in the kids and I (even the kids I keep)are starting our container garden. Our goal is to start small and by next year have it bigger. We are only going to plant things we will eat and enjoy. I am so excited about this.
In the past we have started tomato plants and each kid takes it home. Well this time we are hoping they can take food home with them. I think this will teach the so much! Our containers are built and we are planning our garden now. I just need to make my mind up on the permanent placement of the garden. We can move it once the season is over but I am really trying to avoid that.
You all know I will keep you updated about this so don't worry!

The actual name of the book is
