Your blog and business have inspired me for years. When I found out I was pregnant 4 months ago, one of the first things I did was scour your blog with all the pregnancy/baby advice I could find to 'pin.' I can't wait to cloth diaper my baby, breast feed, baby wear, etc. thanks to you!!

Giveaway : : A crazy, fun, heap of goodness from me to you.
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 ...

LuSa Organics Coupon Code and Giveaway!
It has been a while since I've hosted a giveaway for my company, LuSa Organics. Since many of you know me just from here rather than through LuSa - and others have come here only after falling in love with LuSa but don't know the story of how LuSa came to be - I thought I'd share the st...

Slowing Down (and Making Pomanders).
As I type this post I have a four-year-old nestled in my lap, her head tucked beneath my chin. All through the day and night she wants mama snuggles full-time. Works for me. And since I am running a home-based business I can usually roll with it and take a few business calls or send a couple...
Have fun on your adventure! :) :)

A Day at the Orchard.
My mom is visiting this week from Milwaukee. We've spent most of her visit in the kitchen so far (this is the season for long hours there). Yesterday we decided to head over to Lansing to a small organic orchard yesterday for some autumn magic in the warm sunshine. The drive was beautiful, the...
The Best Banana Bread/Cake Ever
Josh and I can't decide if this is banana bread or cake. Whatever it is, it's the best and it's made with whole wheat flour so it's practically a health food. I'm going to share my recipe (adapted from several other recipes so now I can call it MINE ha!)... Continue reading

First Ballet Class.
She's been waiting for almost year. Last fall Lupine heard about ballet from a friend who was taking a class. Dresses? Dancing? Fancy shoes? My girl was obsessed. She wanted to take a class - right away. We decided to wait a year. (To me even three and a half seems young for taking a class. I...

Wool Gnome Hat Pattern.
I am feeling honored today to have had one of my patterns featured in the latest issue of Living Crafts Magazine. Honored, I tell you. I introduced you to Living Crafts Magazine some time back, and to see my pattern and my girl on their pages had my whole family tickled. The pattern is a refin...

How to Make Elderberry Tincture.
As a society we have externalized so much of what we need and want in our lives. Music, clothing, food, entertainment, health care. It's all purchased from outside of our family and our community. So what happens when we jam on the mandolin in the evening, sew some of our own clothes, bake our o...
And so the school year begins.
And I'm already tired. This is not a good sign! This semester started off in a very traumatic way. Sunday night Josh and I learned that someone we knew had committed suicide. This is a situation I've never been in before. To say it was devastating is putting it lightly...I... Continue reading

What?!
I'm back! Maybe. Who knows these things...I go through phases. I start my MFA program on Monday. That's a day away. Pretty close. Surprisingly not nervous yet, but that's probably because my first class is MexAm Lit and not a workshop...that's when I'll get nervous. I'm probably also not nervous... Continue reading

Symposium, Peter and Vandy, Hilarious Blog, and Cute Pictures
Tomorrow UST's Undergraduate Research Symposium begins...and I keep being told and retold how this is such an incredibly wonderful opportunity for someone my age. Apparently most people don't present at stuff like this until their Doctoral programs. I don't know how true this is--but it sounds pretty darn snazzy. On... Continue reading

April
First note: I caved. I caved and used shampoo--I know, I know. Awful. I couldn't help it. I like fluffy suds in my hair during the shower, they are kind of like therapy. I missed them, and felt sooo good after the first shampooing. Oh well, maybe I'll try again... Continue reading

The state of my hair
Day three no-poo: my hair feels odd. Although smooth (no frizz), it also feels coarse. Do not like. Not sure where to go from here. Actually, though--I have to admit. Before I washed my hair this morning, it felt pretty good, but I felt weird not washing my hair (cause... Continue reading

Shampoo vs. No-Poo TAKE 2
A few weeks ago I posted about the dangers of commercial shampoo and what some people are doing about it. One of the websites I gave (here's another one) showed how some people are completely giving up shampoo (even the organic stuff), and instead using only baking soda+water as "shampoo,"...
