As an avid reader, it is only natural that I take my kids to Story Time at the library every week. Now that the kids are a bit older, and are well known to the library staff, I can tarry a bit among the books for big people. I love browsing the new shelf and finding the latest by my favorite author. “The Other Queen” by Philippa Gregory was last week’s treat.
The library also saves me money. I’m a magazine junky. I love to read all the shelter mags, the art mags, the craft mags, the science mags, the DIY mags…..you get the idea. Sadly, our library does not subscribe to any knitting mags, although I suppose that is fair….with all the patterns in there it would be best if the writers were paid. Anyway, I try hard to not subscribe to mags I can borrow. Not only do I save money, but it saves me clutter. (I’m a pack rat, too!)
This latest trip, I picked up about a year’s worth of Mother Earth News. Some of that mag is a bit too crunchy for me, but as a homestead raised frugal person, I enjoy it, and dream of greenness and gardens full of bounty. I found a great article about making your own cleaners. I’ve been using baking soda for years, but there were some suggestions that are improvements.
They also have health information. This article talks about Vitamin D, and that most people are running a severe deficit. I’ll let you read the article yourself. Personally, I’ll be looking for some D3 tablets, and try the 6 week challenge to see if I’ll feel better. It’s been a long bleak winter!!
