Here’s the video…it’s bad. It was moved from Periscope to YouTube and the orientation didn’t transfer correctly. But maybe you can get the idea?? https://youtu.be/wuQ1hqZjavE
Hi there! I have an old video on how I set up my capsule wardrobe. I’ll see if I can find it for ya… and 2. It’s coming! I have a Fall Meal Planning episode coming soon and I’ll have a sample menu there!! ๐
Really enjoying your new podcast. Two notes: 1. I would love to read more about how you implement capsule wardrobe. 2. I would love to read/hear more about your own personal meal planning and some samples of your weekly/monthly meal plans. Thank you so much for sharing!
I am fully enjoying the new podcast. It is refreshing to hear from a homeschooling mom who is talking about home education from the perspective of a parent not a teacher and also that you are including so much homemaking and family life in it. Thanks!
