Mostly Homemade Mondays - Week 96

Do you have the day off today? We do, and we're so grateful for some extra time together. We had a fantastic weekend, which included watching our nephew play football, attending a Hawkeye football party to watch the game, a baby shower for a friend, some time on the Harley, and plenty of time in the garden. 

Check out my carrot harvest: 

My garden is almost done for the year. I still have plenty of tomatoes and a variety of peppers yet to harvest, as well as cauliflower and green and purple beans. Our leaf lettuce is pretty much done, and I don't think we'll plant a fall crop. We do have a variety of herbs that are still going strong, like sweet basil, rosemary, parsley and chives. 

Anyway, on to the party:

Mostly Homemade Mondays is a series for people that are on a journey to better living, via healthier eating and a more natural lifestyle. We realize that there are different paths that we all take to get to that place, and this bloghop celebrates that. Whether you’re a seasoned raw foodist who has banned all things unnatural, or a rookie who is starting out by cutting out junk food, we’d love to hear from you! Link up with your favorite recipes, projects, crafts, or rants and raves.

The Hosts:

Sarah of Frugal by Choice, Cheap by Necessity

Aubrey of Homegrown & Healthy

Jess from Scratch Mommy

Kelli from The Sustainable Couple
