Sour milk.
I woke this morning to find that my refrigerator is broken. I suspect it's doing an okay job at cooling off my kitchen floor, but that's not really what I'm after. The door doesn't seal any more and is hanging crooked and low on account of a broken hinge or something. So it hangs the...
Such true words you speak!!! As I was looking at the pictures and reading your blog all I could think of is how sage and emery (my almost 7yr old) should meet!!!

February rain
A proper midwestern winter's worth of snow is rapidly melting outside my door. January and February's weeks below zero were put in their place yesterday by 40 F and sunshine, followed today by wind, ice, and rain. Just to keep us on our toes. I'd love to say something a...

"Patchwork throw pillow" is only a metaphor
Sometimes we start something that we don't know how to finish. Sometimes we have a vision in our mind, but lose confidence along the way, and we want to give up. Sometimes we get frustrated. Confused. Overwhelmed by what we've bitten off. Sometimes it all feels like too much. On the fa...
Thank you for sharing!!! I also love all the comments...I don't usually read them all but this topic is so part of our journey right now. I am a mama of 4 our oldest is 16 and is in a project based high school and could not be happier. Then I have a 6 year old who is in a regular kindergarden class and tho the class size is small and the teacher is amazing He is very unhappy. We started him in school this year because he is hearing impaired and thought the added help would be good. I guess I am writing because I find myself in a very difficult spot, and need some encouragement from like minded people. My heart is telling me take him out and don't look back but then I feel an obligation to the school and the special teachers that come and help him on a weekly basis. He has really grown so much with the help of these special teachers and I know I can not do it all. I am putting this out there just in case there is some one else who has a special needs child that homeschools??? and can shine some uplifting words. I know that my heart is telling me right I guess I am just looking for some encouragement. Rachel thank you for sharing your day I really appreciate your blog so very much!!!

Can we talk about something other than the cold? Okay. Homeschooling.
Oh, my. It is all kinds of cold out there. The sort of cold that chases even the sheep inside to escape the wind. The sort of cold that has the eggs - just laid this morning - frozen solid before we can hurry them into the house. Last night the wind shook the whole house, a...
Rachel,
You came into my life at a time I felt quite alone. When I use to read your blog it connected me to something bigger! I felt finally connected. I still feel this way and threw the years of reading your blog I have been introduced to other beautiful and wonderful ladies to feel connected with. Thank you for being you and shining your light, for it allows others to shine their light as well!!! XOXO

Let's start here: Thank you. For coming here and reading my words, for your heart open wide, for sharing in this journey. And for those with the interest and means to purchase some of what we make, I thank you for that as well. Truly. When I first started creating body care recipes I felt v...
OOOOOOO you hit me right in the heart!!! This speaks to me today so deeply, for I too yelled. I also said I was sorry with tear filled eyes and a broken heart. I felt so ashamed and not myself and I too didn't forgive myself right away and so this is a WONDERFUL reminder to do so!!!! You nailed it, when you said " and I am deserving of that same gift". Thank you so very, very much! You reached me loud and clear!!! XOXO

Reaching for forgivness.
Like you I am human. Like you I am flawed. Like you I have ideals. Of who I am and how I live. And sometimes I achieve those ideals. And other times I don't. As a mother I strive for peace. I listen. I hear. I reach for compassion. Understanding. Love. I empower. I allow. And today I...
I've been reading your blog for a year or so now, and tho I find myself enjoying your posts time and time again, the realness of this one hits home and I LOVE IT!!! Thank you and I LOVE YOU!!!!

Behold, the power of cropping.
I am almost embarrassed to admit to you just how many peaches I brought home from that roadside stand on Friday. Because if you are thinking a bushel or two would be a lot you would be right. And then if I suggested three bushels or God forbid four, well that would teeter on the edge of bon...
We have had a couple of months of just plain no good crazy events happen to us. All the while we tried to keep a postive outlook and as soon as we finally wrap our minds around the idea of our plans changing, Poof, something magical happens and well.....My husband got the much deserved promotion at work that will certainly help our family in many ways. Also after months of complications with sickness and other realated issues we finally are cleared to have our homebirth. OOOooooooh the PEACE of MIND we feel being able to birth at home with our last babe (#4)just like the 3 ahead of her were!!! These are real and wonderful things that took place today and so what a treat to get to share it here with you and all your wonderful readers. We live in a community where we are not the majority, and so your blog helps remind me, we are not alone!!! XOXOXO

Because why not? It's my blog and I can give you random stuff if I want to. I noticed earlier this week that I hit 2000 Facebook fans for Clean and almost 3000 for LuSa Organics. And frankly I was kind of jazzed. That's a decent number of folks who either show up to read to what I write each ...

Confession: Despite my best intentions, I sometimes lose my cool when it comes to getting my children to participate in the running of our home. Our journey to end entitlement with peaceful parenting strategies is off to a solid start, but sometimes I misplace my peaceful mojo. I...
These words hit straight to my heart...."The desire for more or new or better is what gets us buried under these mountains of things anyway". We are currently in a transition stage in our family and so these words speak volumes to me, I woke up this morning with the sense of peace with accepting what we have is enough, and everything else will be. Thank you for sharing!!!!

The lesson of enough.
We spent much of last weekend in the basement, sifting through the detritus of the past six years of our life. Before this house, we had this odd habit of moving to a new place every three years. (I can't explain it.) Pete and I have lived together since 1995 and like clockwork, every thr...

The Peaceful Parenting Choice of Not Writing a Peaceful Parenting Post.
I write here (and do most of my work for running my business) in the mornings and the evenings, apart from the time I spend actively parenting my kids. I get up early, and I work after their bedtime. Last night was my turn to "give bed" and Pete was at a class. For many days transitioning ...

Like everything I write here, this is my own person story. My right answer. Several of you have asked for a bit more information on using our thoughts to create the life we want. So this post is in response to your emails, comments, and questions. If you don't dig the Law of Attraction busines...

The Nicest Day: A Holiday.
The kids work up and started their morning bickering. They do it most mornings, just a bit of grumpies while they wake up. It's never about anything of consequence: what flavor smoothie they want, who's hogging the heater, etc. Today I wanted peace. Based on yesterday's post, I pulled out a wi...

Sometimes life (and home) is pretty. Sometimes it is not. The stuff that we draw in. The projects. The potential. The clutter. Are you drowning in it? I am. My office (where I write these posts to you) is part lovely orangeness-and-magic-and-light and part crafty-chaos. The things - they are...

Dear Sage and Lupine, Let me start with the basics: I love you. I say it every day, dozens of times, but it is truer than most words I can speak. I love you. With every cell of my being. On top of that, I like you, I trust you, I believe in you, and I respect you. I hope I continu...

From garden to table, this girl is my culinary sidekick. Every day she takes her harvest basket out to the garden to see what has ripened and brings in food for our dinner. Often I hear "Mama! Come quick! Come quick!" (I call this my garden alarm.) I dash out in to the yard and she shows...
