Busy day! Cranked out a s**t ton (official chef term, obviously) of Boudin, whipped up some homemade soaps for gifts, and tackled home projects like the multitasking badass I am. Someone bring me a trophy—or better yet, a glass of Jameson. 🥃 Priorities. 😂

Happy Fri-YAY, Rogue Roots fam! 🌟

We’re kicking off the weekend with some kitchen chaos—prepping boudin, bread and a homemade apple pie for a big family dinner tomorrow. 🍎🥖 There’s something so special about slowing down, cooking from scratch, and making food that brings everyone together.

What’s on your weekend menu? Drop your favorite family dish below—we’re always looking for new ideas to try! 🍴

Friday is almost here, and we’re ready to wrap up the week Rogue Roots style! 🌱💪

Whether you’re tending to the garden, tackling homestead projects, or just keeping the chaos under control (because let’s be real, homesteading isn’t for the faint of heart), remember this: you’re doing the damn thing.

This weekend, let’s keep growing boldly, giving back, and maybe take a minute to breathe in all the good work we’ve done this week. 🌟

What’s on your to-do list for the weekend? Winter prep? Self-care? Just surviving? Share below—we’re in this together. 💚

It’s not about starting over; it’s about keeping the momentum going. Tonight is the perfect time to check in with yourself, tie up loose ends, and set the stage for a productive Wednesday. Let’s keep the wheels turning and tackle tomorrow with intention and confidence.

💡 Tips for Tuesday Night Prep:
1. Jot down your top 3 must-dos for tomorrow—stay focused.
2. Lay out clothes or pack bags so you’re not scrambling in the morning.
3. Prep coffee, snacks, or breakfast—future-you will appreciate the effort.
4. Take a moment to stretch, breathe, or journal—clear your mind for better rest.
5. Remind yourself: The chaos means you’re living fully, and you’ve got this!

The week isn’t slowing down, and neither are we. Let’s keep rolling!

A Reminder About the Reality of Elopement

Today, we ran to Barnes & Noble to pick up some books I ordered. As we pulled into the parking lot, in the middle of a downpour, we saw a little one—maybe two years old—sprinting across the lot with no mom in sight.

Jeremy immediately jumped out to help, and just as quickly, the mom came running after, frantic. I could see the panic in her eyes because I know that feeling. That pit in your stomach when your child gets away from you, and for just a moment, you lose sight of them.

This situation ended safely, but it hit close to home. If you’re familiar with elopement—especially in autistic kids—you know how terrifying this is. Children who elope don’t see the rain, the cars, the danger. They’re just gone.

For families navigating this daily, my heart is with you. It’s not about being a bad parent or not watching your child—it happens so fast. Moments like these remind me that we have to look out for each other because parenting isn’t meant to be done alone.

To that mama in the rain, you’re not alone. And to my husband, the firefighter who just does, thank you for always being that steady, ready presence.

Let’s give each other grace. Be kind. Keep an eye out.
