Self-care and a LuSa Organics giveaway (plus free shipping & gifts!)
Sometimes as parents we forget to take care of ourselves. With all that caring-for-others going on, it's easy to let our own nurturing slide. When Sage was a newborn I actually would forget to eat. For days on end. That's a little disturbing to think about. New mamas, I don't...
Yes. Thanks for the reminder.

Some time at the Wild Restaurant
I think for me parenting is mostly a lesson in balancing needs. Before kids my needs were usually first. Pete's as well, and our dogs and cats, work and home, but mostly I had the luxury of taking care of myself when and how I wanted to. But then Sage an...
Be well soon.

Healing days.
Healing days are slow days. When we clear the calender, snuggle in under blankets and let the phone ring. Healing is big work for small bodies. (And even bigger work for those pushing forty. Ahem.) I think we're better, really I do. But last night was still rough, and in the m...
How sweet! My girls would love this book.

... tell me a story: the story of the snow children
Snow flakes whirling in circles, covering the world in a blanket of sparkling ice crystals, it's that time of year! Sadly I have seen little of that magic to date, but that doesn't mean I can't jump into that beautiful world any time I want. Just like Poppy, in The Story of the Snow Chil...

My five year old has such great capacity for joy. She has huge blue eyes and REALLY long eyelashes like her daddy and when she smiles, I mean Really smiles, it makes everything right in the world. She's on the Autism Spectrum and has some serious social delays - she hits, bites, and screams until she's blue in the face. When this happens, it helps to remember those bright blue eyes. I love her with as much intesity as she lives her life.
My darling 2 year old is the mildest, sweetest little one I've met. She's so peaceful most of the time she really is a good touchstone for me and an excellent reminder for me to keep peace in my daily life. Loving her is effortless.
I am quite confident in what I do well and equally frustrated with that in which I fall short. I'm not embarassed or ashamed to ask for help. I do "lose it" but wouldn't it be nicer to get the help I need before it comes to that? *sigh* I'm looking forward to this series of posts. Thank you.

I'm sorry you are having a hard night. I have PTSD from childhood trauma so I know what it's like to be haunted by something. Just try to remember that this time is not that time. It's hard. I'll be thinking of you and hope your family is well soon.

You are nine. We are lying in bed. My hand is on your hot belly. You have a fever. Again. It only happens a couple of times a year, but when it does we do not sleep. I do not sleep. I am transported back in time to the hardest chapter of my life. No this isn't my story, but you are so over the o...

I'm grateful for supportive family and friends. My eldest daughter was just diagnosed on the Autism spectrum and it's been stressful for me. My parents have been really helpful and I actually got out of the house the other night. My hubby is really supportive too. He's doing what he can to take the pressure off me since I get the brunt of stress. My friends are great too. I even have a friend who does OT offer to come out to the house and help. I really am grateful for those that have reached out to me for support.

Finding gratitude today for... The cold. Last night was the first frost of the season. Waking to see the garden laid out by a thick frost was delightful. I know. Strange. But it's time and I appreciate the continuous turning of the seasons. I'm ready for the next rhythm. The warmth. A ...

She was on the other side of our back fence, reaching up on tippy-toes to pick some viburnum berries from the neighbor's bushes. "Can you pick me up so I can reach, mama?" I lifted her as high as I could but we still couldn't reach the biggest clumps. Finally I found myself teet...

My fingers and thumbs are purple today. From grapes, raspberries, and elderberries. I spent yesterday out in the rain with another homeschooling family, foraging and marveling at just how fast autumn is coming on. It was gorgeous out there. We brought home so many elderberries! The el...

The summer heat in my neck of the woods has yet to let up, so I thought it might be nice to at least visualize some cooler temperatures full of crisp autumn sunshine and colorful fall leaves. In order to find this imaginary land of cool weather and forest canopies I went no further than on...

I told Pete yesterday that I wasn't sure how I was going to get it all done before bedtime. The kids were outside and I had a little grumble session, rattling off a list of all that I needed to do in the next 24 hours. At the top of the list was peel and seed - and then can - the tomatoe...

In between eating dinner outside and crawling into bed with windows open, lies a magical summery window of time. As much as we can, this is how we've been spending it. Oh sweet, sweet Summer. I love you.
Ooo, I'd love one of these. Any chance you'd make one for your Etsy site?

We're home! The Midwest Renewable Energy Fair was amazing, as always. I love this show. Really, truly. Old friends, new friends, great conversations, and inspiring ideas. And the critical mass of homeschoolers is astounding. Sage was in his element, running free (with a walkie-talkie on his ...
