Thanks Amanda! :)

Thank you Arianne!

Hi Megan, Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I had similar feelings before we moved. I longed for more space and seasons. I feel like Bea gets a lot of interaction with others but it's less structured. So instead of participating in things that I enroll her in, people in our community invite her and us to whatever things they are doing. Right now, she is involved wth a play that her violin teacher wrote and is directing. In December, she was invited to participate in another community event organized by the local Quaker community. We have neighbors here to play with too -which is funny, because when we were in town, she actually didn't have anyone to play with. So all in all, I think she is doing okay. I strongly believe that life works out as it is suppose to when we are able to listen to that little voice deep inside....Best wishes to you. :)

Thank you Megan. I'm enjoying popping in from time to time. Hope you are well!

Hi Brandy. Thanks for visiting and for the kind words. It's a beautiful part of the country and we are loving every minute of it.

Hi Brittany! I hope life in ATX is treating you well! Thank you for stopping by here. Lately I've made soap, witch hazel, salves and balms, elderberry syrup, and tea blends. I am continuously wanting to add to my skills as time allows. There are so many wise teachers around here and I can't wait to absorb all there is to know about the natural healing powers of plants!

I've never been good at receiving compliments but thank you so much! That is so kind of you to say. Much love!

Hi Jenny, It's really good to see your comment here! I've just started to quietly post again. I don't think there are many people who read blogs anymore but I find the format so much more conducive to truly expressing myself than IG (which is what I have readily relied upon more and more over the years). I like the slowness of churning a post out even if it takes days of tweaking it before hitting publish. Thank you for cheering us on. It has been a wonderful journey and we just feel so blessed with where we have landed. Much love!!

I am so excited for you Stephanie! Somehow I missed your post last year when you decided to plant more medicinals. I've loved adding more medicinals to my garden but have a real problem finding baby plants in nurseries out here. Turns out, my brother, Marcus, in Lafayette grows a good many of the ones you listed. So when I go home, I stock up. I'm looking forward to following your journey as you all move out to the land!
