So, it's February, and I am itching for green. Last week I cleaned up this shelf, which has gotten cluttered over the past several months with various things. Seed starting time is almost here, but not quite soon enough for me. A friend and I are starting to experiment...

Lately I've been meditating on all the ways I'd like to refine my life. I suppose it has a lot to do with all the things I'm juggling, and all the things I anticipate adding into the mix. Kids, jobs, family, friends, farming, potential founding of a non-profit, doula-ing...

Vera had been begging me for a haircut for the past couple of weeks. I stalled a bit to make sure she was serious. She kept at it, so I gave her a sweet little chin-length cut. I'm not trained at hair cutting, and so it's always a little...

Has it really been over a week already? Yeesh. I could really use a little routine in my world to help balance things out. As much as I love the fray of social activity and damn good food that is my life, I crave a little more order and...

Always a lot happening in the world of food around here. Sometimes I wonder if it's weird to think about it so much. Like, there's just so much in my life that, when whittled down to its core, is all about the food. I suppose it's strange to me...

We've been bustling around lately. Lots of projects, people, ideas and plans, etc. Jeff and I are reinstating a "date night" so that we can get grounded and connect in the midst of all this stuff going on. I had a gift certificate so we went downtown and got...

Ha! Did I say I'd post every day? Hmm… Okay, but twice in 3 days is pretty good, right? 

I never did talk about Solstice/Xmas crafting, so here goes. 

We kept it relatively simple this year. So much going on, and we didn't want to be up all night before family...

I have so much to write about and so little time to do it. I am talking with a friend about scheduling time together to go to a coffee shop and work/write/etc., because it is seriously next to impossible with young kids. I was in denial for a while...

I wanted to tell you all how lovely your responses were to my last post! It overwhelms me to think of all the support I have in this endeavor, and how rich and full my life is. I feel so awed by life lately. Delicious. It's not even all...

I've been meaning to make a post here for what feels like ages… but sick babies, housework, farm work, holiday crafting, etc. etc. is just not allowing for it. I'm breaking the new "no screen time" rule with the kids so I can write for a minute. I forgive...
