I’m a total slacker, I know. Last week was just a bit overwhelming for me as the weekend before I took both my littles to a family reunion by myself as Todd couldn’t go. Sure the weekend ended, but the aftermath was what threw up all for a loop. Somehow kids just seem to think that when they have the run of whatever they want for a couple days, that it’ll last forever! So all last week we dealt with some behavioral issues, giant meltdowns (mostly the 3yo but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have one!) and all around just trying to keep afloat.
So I didn’t try anything new.
But this week I’m trying my hand at fermenting some water kefir!
I’ll have my full report next week on how it goes, but if you’ve tried something this past week, let us know! Leave your link below so we can check it out!

I started doing "homemade" soda with water kefir about a month ago. I had a few batches that weren't so tasty but after working out a few kinks, I love it! Can't wait to hear how your's goes.

I JUST got my water kefir grains! I can't wait to try them! Just a little nervous, like what if I have to pause production for a week vacation or something, can I store them somehow in the meantime? Can't wait to hear how yours turns out
