I've been reading Sharon Astyk's blog for awhile now. Most times when I read her writing, I am inspired to add yet another project idea to my already-too-long list. She writes a lot, and she has a lot of ideas. Not that I need any help coming up with ideas, of course. My husband might argue the point that oftentimes I have too many ideas.
Other times when I read her writing, I just want to strangle the woman -- she seems too perfect. She can do no wrong. Either she doesn't ever make any mistakes ever in her homesteading endeavors, or she just doesn't write about them. Me, I make mistakes all the time. ALL the time. But I try to learn from them. Some times it works, other times it doesn't.
Anywho, one of the ideas that I've read about on Sharon's blog is Independence Days. It's a way of keeping track of the things you do each week to become less dependent upon general consumerism. I'm thinking of giving it a whirl this year. I can see myself getting off to a good start, and then getting weeks and months behind as the busy growing season gets underway. Hmm. We'll see.

I'm on the fence, too! I do most of these things anyways, but as much as I WANT to keep track, I am sure I will fail at it LOL
I read Sharon's blog too and I'm with you! *LOL I've been toying with joining in on Independence Days as well. Not sure I can do it weekly either, but still, I think it is a useful personal tool, as well as showing others that even the attempt is possible.
Okay, I've decided to give it a whirl. For better or for worse! I've created a new blog, '14 Acres Independence Days' and added it to my blog roll sidebar. Wish me luck!
Wow. That's a really cool idea. I'm totally strung out, but would like to incorporate that idea into a homeschool project. I'll let you know hat becomes of it.
Hmm. So far I feel sorta restricted by the categories. Maybe I'll just turn it into a way to record all the canning/preserving numbers, maybe also gardening stuff. I'm as yet undecided.
