Dear Amanda, thank you so much for your sweet words. As a teacher frantically working to create remote learning that’s accessible, incorporates student choice, and is independent for my 5th graders, you’ve perfectly captured the message that I’m sending to the families of my students, my colleagues, and our district administration—do what you can and what you do is enough. Connection and love are the most important things we can do right now. ❤️

Hi, friends!
Well, hello there! My goodness, it's been exactly a year (almost to the day) since I wrote here last with a 'goodbye for now' post. And of course, so much has changed in one year's time - the expected changes of growing children and all of that (really, truly, so much growth in one year happen...
Looks awesome! I can’t wait to check it out. :)

Oh goodness! I am still struggling to find the words to express how I feel about Saturday's grand opening for Taproot and Milk and Honey at 84 Cove Street! It was such an epic undertaking, this grand opening and getting it ready in such a short period of time. I...

See you in Portugal!
This morning, I will plant the garlic. Not because it's one of the last thing on my to do list and I want to check it off, but because it is an action of hope, and an investment in the future. These are the very things I need this week, and I'm grateful for this one tiny act in the garden ...

Nancy is wonderful! Some friends and I took in the fleeces of 16 sheep from a local farm that didn't want them. We brought them to Nancy and she worked her magic and now we have pounds and pounds of beautiful roving. One friend had some of it machine spun into yarn by Nancy and it's just gorgeous. I have 15 lbs of roving waiting for the arrival of a spinning wheel. Such fun! So fortunate to have such skilled people in our state. Happy spinning--those colors are divine!

Long End of the Straw {Stacy}
As I approach the place in my mothering life where my children need me differently than they did in early childhood, there is this slow but gradual sense that I need something bigger than my family to keep me afloat. It doesn’t come in a wave or as an epiphany, but rather a nudging along, a nagg...
