Text of the page (random words):
g different from the usual we are out of meat for example but because of my spreadsheet i know we won t go hungry anytime soon meals separate from groceries but along the same lines i m preparing all our meals from scratch using items from our freezer pantry and produce delivery like you i m sure i ve been reading a ton about how coronavirus is transmitted and what activities are safe lots of people are ordering from local restaurants which is a wonderful way of supporting struggling businesses right now however every time you bring something into your home that someone else touched or potentially sneezed or coughed on you have to disinfect it or risk spreading the virus i just don t think i m ready to enjoy a meal that comes with that kind of potential maybe after a few more weeks when i m desperate to eat something other than lentils we ll re explore that idea for now i m having fun being creative with what we already have make it a game what can we make today that the kids won t hate toilet paper i m not sure there has ever been such a storm on toilet paper at least in our area every store that carries tp has had lines outside before they open and is sold out very soon after the mobs enter stores are now setting limits on how much toilet paper each customer can buy and they are still selling out every day i normally buy toilet paper at costco and one of their giant packs lasts us a good part of the year however since we are all home constantly now i knew we d be going through it about twice as fast as usual so i ve taken measures to reduce use i have switched back to using cloth for pee i keep a wash cloth on the back of each toilet and refold as necessary before tossing it in the laundry as the only lady in the house and one who drinks a lot of tea this measure is likely to vastly reduce our family s tp use you can also use smaller cloths and toss them into a small bucket or bin after each use for later washing we did this for years back when my kids were in cloth diapers and just washed the wipes along with the diapers i made them out of small squares of old flannel baby blankets hand stitched around the edges to prevent fraying pee cloths can be thrown right in with the normal laundry i may yet have to venture out to a store to get more toilet paper depending on how long this quarantine lasts but for now i m happy to avoid the additional risk of an airborne virus with online toilet paper costing as much as 2 per roll i d also like to avoid getting price gauged if possible sanitizer use soap instead soap kills viruses effectively we wash hands every time we come home from anywhere that we have touched anything others might have touched i keep lotion at every sink and in my purse so it s easy to apply after every hand washing it s important to keep your skin from drying out and cracking a common affliction during the arid winter months but especially now with all the increased washing dry cracked skin is open to infection and feels yucky besides if you still need hand sanitizer you can make your own using alcohol and aloe vera gel the cdc recommends a 70 alcohol solution when we were still coming and going from our house daily we would wipe down our phones and keys each time we came home with alcohol wipes you can simply apply rubbing alcohol to a cloth to make your own wipes but this would be harmful to bare skin if you do it frequently now that we are home nearly constantly there is much less to worry about sanitizing on our daily walks we just don t touch anything except occasionally the mail i process the mail right after bringing it inside and then wash my hands you can of course toss most of it in the outdoor recycle bin instead of bringing it inside at all and then wash your hands entertainment this is a very real need with so many kids suddenly out of school and adults out of work many people resort to buying stuff out of boredom it s easy to desire the novelty of new items to fill our time and space but our family is still committed to a year of buying nothing as i ve said this doesn t include food tp so how are we keeping ourselves sane fulfilled and busy during the weeks and potentially months stuck at home i make a list of things for us to do each day this includes all activities we do as a family chores each kid needs to do and meals i plan to make i also write the day of the week at the top of the list or else i would have no idea daily family activities include card and board games walks around the neighborhood exercise time reading aloud with my younger son and asking each other trivia questions homeschooling for our kids includes the above activities as well as alternating between two hours of online learning we use khan academy and workbook time or two hours of video games my older son and his friends have managed to organize online d d games as well as other games that can be played via video chat he does this for two hours at a time three days a week it s helped him to feel connected to his peers during this socially isolating time while he meets with his friends online my younger son and i often work on an art project together netflix hulu dvds etc every evening after dinner we ve been watching episodes of the office together or other funny shows last night was netflix s pandemic but i personally recommend generally ending the day with something a little more uplifting i can t bear the idea of binge watching anything so we always limit the amount of episodes to 2 3 depending on length of the episodes after watching shows we end screen time and read books until bedtime between episodes we always do family exercise time using a timer we take turns choosing an exercise to do for one minute we do this for two full rounds then two minutes of stretching for a total of around 10 minutes it s quick but challenging and there s always a nice variety this way wellness we ve found a nice balance of spending time together but also giving each other space it can be easy to get on each other s nerves when cooped up together endlessly be patient keep it light see the good in people and be forgiving i wake up every morning and meditate for a comfortable 15 minutes a regular practice keeps me from catastrophizing or making mountains out of molehills we also meditate as a family every evening before bed for just 5 minutes it s just a nice time to sit together breath and relax here is my article on meditation basics the how why get outside every single day don t let a day pass when you have been inside all day unless you are bedridden i struggled with insomnia for years and one of the keys to better sleep was a long morning walk daylight fresh air and exercise all help to regulate our circadian rhythms also being cooped up can make you feel crazy getting outside will remind you that your world is still all there you have space and best of all it s springtime enjoy the animals the birds singing and the squirrels acting crazy the flowers starting to cover the trees and animals generally getting bolder as they meet with less human interference keep your immune system strong by doing the following limit sugar which has a hazardous effect on immune function supplement with vitamins c d and zinc lozenges which all help prevent respiratory illness get plenty of sleep try to turn the lights out at 10 and allow enough time in a darkened room to wake up naturally in the morning move your body daily the immune system requires muscular movement for optimal circulation of lymphatic fluids sitting around all day is not good for anyone find comfort in your people pets or your online community my cat has been such a blessing through this he is always there for us always happy to love and be loved so soft and warm he doesn t care that the world as we know it may have ended as long as we still have some kibble below are amazon affiliate ads any purchase made through these links helps support our family thanks in advance read more tuesday march 17 2020 dairy free diy gluten free health holiday paleo recipes easy grain free sandwich bread mellow march 17 2020 1 comment this striking loaf is incredibly easy to whip up in the blender and if you use a base of sunflower seeds your bread ends up a marvelous dark green color impress your family friends the green is a natural chemical reaction between the sunflower seeds baking soda and absolutely safe the batter looks like normal bread dough but as it bakes it changes color you can use other nuts cashews almonds will provide a normal colored loaf if that s what you re after i like sunflower seeds because the green is fun plus they re much cheaper and isn t there enough brown bread in the world on to the recipe there is no prep simply place the following in the blender 8 eggs 1 2 c milk of any kind unsweetened 1 5 tbsp apple cider vinegar 450 g sunflower seeds or other nuts 2 5 3 cups 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp sea salt blend into a smooth thick batter then add 7 tbsp coconut flour this may become a little too thick for the blender to handle as bread dough should you can transfer it to a mixer for this last step or just stir it by hand no kneading required just mix the flour in thoroughly bake at 325 in an oiled standard bread loaf pan for at least an hour i have also divided the batter between two loaf pans this will bake more quickly but give shorter loafs smaller slices either way works you do you just pay attention towards the end of baking you can do a toothpick test to see if the center is baked let cool in the pan for 30 minutes and store any leftovers in the fridge below are amazon affiliate ads any purchase made through them helps support our family thanks in advance read more sunday january 26 2020 diy health holiday parenting our year of buying nothing the first month mellow january 26 2020 comments at the very end of december 2019 i made the last minute decision to enact this resolution to make no purchases for the entire year of course we ll still buy food toilet paper we ll still go to the occasional restaurant and if necessary we ll buy replacement items if something essential breaks this decision followed on the heels of a string of random purchases i made during november december more than my usual we spent not only money on these items but time in installing and learning how to use them moving things around so they had a proper place in the house and storing associated paperwork and processing the packaging while i don t regret these purchases i have seen how dangerously easy it is to get into shopping online sales one click and something new and exciting is on its way to your door i feel our family is pretty well taken care of materially and should be fine for some time i m excited to see how long we can go without buying anything more we are a family of four plus this lovely cat with one full time earner and myself a mostly stay at home parent who is just transitioning to working more regular hours i ve been able to be home with my kids their whole lives an honor i don t take for granted in addition to raising educating the kids being the stay at home parent has also meant that i have more time to make our meals from scratch as well as finding other ways of being frugal through the years which you can read about in my previous articles many years ago i started a buy nothing facebook group in our community and it took off like wildfire this group and the others like it that have since sprung up is an amazing resource for neighbors to gift all kinds of things to each other i love being able to offer up anything we find we no longer want or need to the group anytime i want to buy something i ask first in my gifting group to see if i can find a similar item that a neighbor no longer has need of this resource in no small part enables me to go most of the time without buying anything last year the only clothing items i bought for my kids were two pairs of jeans for my older son who had shot up like a weed new shoes for my kids partner and new slippers for myself oh and for christmas i bought my partner a sweet new flannel shirt for all our other clothes our needs were more than met by the offerings in our neighborhood groups in addition because i personally love clothes and getting together with friends twice a year for the past 5 years i have hosted trading parties where everyone can bring their nicer castoff clothes to give away and come home with bags of new things to try for free so here we are nearing the end of the first month and while my hasty resolution has presented no real hardship there have been a few challenges for example i have a christmas cactus that has been in a horribly ugly plastic pot ever since two naughty kittens knocked it off a windowsill and it s original beautiful ceramic pot broke i ve looked for a replacement pot for years on my buy nothing group and even at yard sales but they never seem to be big enough suddenly a few days into the new year i felt i must get a real pot for my otherwise lovely plant i think the constraint of not allowing myself to buy something made this desire for a replacement pot feel suddenly urgent however i just reminded myself that as it s been doing fine in its plastic pot for so long it can surely go another year without any horrible repercussions another challenge was not buying my cat a scratching post he transitioned to an indoor only cat a year or so ago and since then has found lots of places around the house to scratch up some approved by us doormats and some we would much rather him not the nice wool carpet and the door frames he doesn t have a real scratching post and it occurred to me recently after seeing an ad for a cute cactus shaped cat tree scratching post that this would be just the thing i went so far as to click on the ad and ever since then my facebook feed has been inundated with ads for cat related items of course as all pet parents must i want the best for my kitty so if something would be good for him or useful i can often justify the expense fortunately my partner is very practical and reasonable and by running purchases by him i have often saved myself the regret of being stuck with an unhappy selection also we visited his family earlier this month and they told me how easy it is to make your own scratching post with some twine and wood i have not pursued this but knowing i can make something myself is often enough for me to not want to buy it i look forward to future challenges i m sure i ll be faced with more difficult decisions than those that have presented themselves to date perhaps my son will grow another two inches and we won t be able to find any decent pants for him from our gifting groups perhaps something that seems quite essential will break and we ll have to decide how necessary its replacement is i ll try to keep track of these challenges as they come up and document here how i deal with them in future posts i ll also speak to how this resolution affects us as a family whether ...
