Organic & Thrifty

It’s hard to believe that the first of May is already here. My “baby” niece turns one today, and that’s unbelievable because I can vividly remember going to see her at the hospital just a few months ago it feels. Happy Birthday, dear Susannah! What a blessed, happy, chunky baby she is! Nourished by her mama with real food and real milk, it’s so amazing to see that radiant health is possible, by God’s grace, in this fallen, broken world. Nutrition for families and children. This was the topic of conversation at the Northwest Family Homeschool Conference that I was blessed to speak at this past weekend. I am so honored and was overjoyed to meet so many amazing, inspiring families whose faith is foremost in their lives! I had so many wonderful conversations with folks who are on their own difficult, challenging health journeys like our own.

Meal planning is something I often speak about, so if you’re just tuning in to Organic and Thrifty, here are my thoughts on meal planning.
