Hold on, it’s a wordy one! One of the things I mentioned in my last post about letting go of things that are no longer working for us, was bringing our girls home for the upcoming school year. My long-time readers , all three of you, (Hey Paul, Lisa, Denise, how are you? ) already […]
As I started the new year, I had one major goal in mind: Getting Dressed. I’m only half joking. For the past year or so I’ve pretty well been living in the same crusty clothes, because I’m not going anywhere, and let’s face it, someone is going to snot on me. From a purely […]
Read More Letting GoLet me start this post with a rant. We are farmish people. We like critters. We consider a certain amount of dirt good for our health.

Read More Our Charlotte Mason SummerSpring brings changing weather, changing wardrobes, and changing routines. It’s a perfect time to update your skincare habits to reveal your best skin. I know, this isn’t my usual food/dirt/baby poop kind of post, but I bet you didn’t know I was a skin therapist in a former life. I actually keep my license […]
Read More A Soothing Spring FacialWe are so fortunate to live in a place where there is abundant game.
