Extol December 2018-January 2019 | Page 37

Building a goat stable this fall was a family (and friends) affair. Sydney, 10th grade, age 15 We cooked some really good meals with things from our little garden this year; especially with the basil, tomatoes and peppers. The homemade pizza we grilled outside on the fire, the lasagna, the caprese orzo salad – those are my favorite things we made. Next year we should try to use as much as possible from the garden, and maybe add another box. Strawberries would be good. Kristin, mom, 30-something I feel like our focus on family is usually a strong suit for us, and that was no exception in 2018. Though we are often super busy, overall we were able to strike some balance this year between the stress of over-commitment and the hustle and bustle of daily family life. In 2019, as cliche as it sounds, I want to maintain a more consistent exercise schedule. It seems I begin to form a good routine, and then it goes by the wayside before becoming an actual lifestyle regimen. I know plenty of other busy moms who manage to fit in a workout almost daily, so I realize my excuses aren’t unique. I feel so much better, both mentally and physically, when I’m consistently active. Adam, dad, older than Kristin A Better Approach to Fitness Risking redundancy, my thoughts are actually a mix of all the others. I would love to do more camping, look into the possibility of adding more livestock, and I’d most definitely like to cook with more homegrown produce. However, I am excited to try and create more of a schedule than we currently use. No military-type boot camps and bed checks, and nothing that covers every minute of every day. It just seems we are always worried about what we could or should be doing. My goal is to utilize a calendar that is efficient enough to allow us to actually enjoy our free time when we have it.
