sand & sky (and a nap)
I had the great pleasure and very good fortune of attending a small gathering of some wonderful women writers on an island off the coast of Maine this weekend. I know, right? Skipping over the fact that I still don't really call myself a writer, can we just talk about the...

I probably should not have read this at work because I am fighting back tears in front of my coworkers. ;) I often struggle to provide my children with every opportunity and was recently feeling guilty for not allowing my son to participate in a travel lacrosse league this summer. (He is only 9 years old!) I loved "...we simply can't be all things..." I know after the initial disappointment my son has enjoyed the opportunity to go on meandering nature walks with me in the evenings. I know I have appreciated spending time in my kitchen making a nourishing family meal instead of grabbing something fast on the way to another practice. Thank you for the reminder that I just didn't say no, I said yes to another summer of being a child.

Not jogging
My ridiculously sweet neighbors jogged past my house this morning with their kids. And as I watched them lope by - a vision of health and togetherness - an uninvited thought popped into my head: "You're doing it wrong." (Said to myself and not to them.) "You don't jog, and you sure as heck ...
Thanks Rachel! I'm much better. Happy New Year to you!

Get well soon! {A cold and flu season recipe round-up}
I had every intention of being productive today. I even set an alarm. (Something I've only done a handful of times in the past decade.) And, well, a solid two hours after my alarm went off I finally stumbled out of bed to attempt to start my day. Uffda. The holiday season is funny that way, isn'...
Thank you for this timely post! I have been fighting a nasty cold for a week now. (Your essential oil blend from the winter treasure box has been my best friend!) I have the ingredients for a hot toddy and for elderberry syrup so I might make those today. I am so grateful for the bone broth in my freezer as well. :) Cheers to health!

I adore this post! I recently started woking part-time for the first time in the almost nine years since my oldest was born. Although I am lucky that I am able to work from home all but one day a week, I am finding that a new routine is going to be imperative to my success. (I tend to rarely stick to a schedule and then wonder where my day went. Ahem.) I am also an introvert and love homemaking so I found your post so helpful. Thanks for sharing!

A New Season, A New Daily Routine
I received an email from a reader asking a bit about my daily routine. She lives in Brazil so I imagine there will be many things that look different in our day to day lives, but there is of course so much in common, too. She is married, planning to start a family, and loves to take care of he...
I can relate to this, in my own small way. Every June I want to pick strawberries and can jam...but oh, it is a lot of work and it often corresponds with a very busy time with end-of-the-school-year activities. I was bone-tired this year and I was not very happy when I accidentally let the hot jam boil over and make a mess of my stove but seeing all those pretty jars in my pantry afterwards is the such a great feeling. It always ends up being worth the effort.

summer in the kitchen
You know, I've had months to empty that freezer. Months, I tell you. At the height of our freezer storage, we keep a whopping three freezers full of our food. One full of pork (two pigs at the peak), one full of chickens and turkeys (up to 70 birds at the most), and one full of veget...

So here's the thing
Every season has a moment that defines it. There is a summer I will always remember because of a seasonal job I took as a summer camp naturalist. Another summer is remembered as the season our son was born, yet another as the summer when I got Lyme disease. Every season. That on...
Yum! I made garlic scape pesto served over pasta for our Father's Day dinner but made it with half basil, half garlic scapes. It was delicious but I can't wait to try your recipe. Do you have a favorite pizza dough recipe? Your pizza looks divine!

Garlic Scape Pesto (and lunch)
Having nothing to do with garlic scapes, this was lunch yesterday. Thought it could be the day before, or today, or tomorrow, for that matter. Kale chips, popcorn, and hard boiled eggs. These are the things I worry about my children never wanting to touch again once they leave my house, for ov...

baskets full of...everything
We got a letter yesterday. And to her credit, it was dated many days ago, so I think there may be something going on with the camp mail. But regardless of the delay, I was so happy to receive it. It was short and sweet, but told me everything I needed to hear. Her sense of humor as silly as ev...

Flexibility is key for us right now. (No, your driveway cannot go in that oh-so-perfect place without a culvert and this and that and the other thing... all of which could run you up to $10,000.) Okey dokey, then. Plan B it is. Stay flexible. Things are rolling along. We picked up this camper ...

I thought of leaving the french press at home. It's only one night, I told myself. But at the last minute I changed my mind and grabbed it - along with maple syrup, cream, and coffee as we headed out the door. Checking the forecast also wasn't too high on my list. There wasn't really any kin...

I can't remember the last time it rained on Halloween. Thankfully, about 20 children made their way up our long driveway for treats and the costumes this year were great! We didn't see any of the characters from Frozen, as predicted, but the stand outs were definitely two ghost busters in thei...

Eyes up!
I started this morning with eyes down. Focused on chores and schedules and dishes and to-do lists. I had animals to feed and tea to make and email to check. Eyes up and I noticed the eastern widow glowing crimson from the sunrise beyond the hill. Pure, deep red like I've rarely s...
Yes, yes, yes! I definitely agree. My oldest is not quite eight years old so I have many years to go before the teen years but with three children, I cringe every time someone tells me it is the "terrible twos" or something like that. It feels disrespectful to talk like that about another person. Thank you for the reminder to find the joy even if some moments are difficult.
