Thanks for stopping by! I'm Magi, a scratch cooking, homeschooling mama, learning to raise good kids, good food, and good fun on our teeny-tiny little farm!
Update: Would you believe I wrote this post last spring and there are still one or two items on the list that we haven’t accomplished? Which is why I never published it. Well…it’s the time of year when I ramp up thinking of all things […]
If you’ve noticed less of me online it’s because I’ve gone completely mad and volunteered for everything under the sun. Moms, sometimes it might be okay to just sign your kid up for an activity and not volunteer to help out, or run the program, […]
