I am looking forward to learning more about this approach! Thanks, Rachel!
Sponsor Giveaway : : Dental Essentials
Below is my interview with Melinda, co-owner and founder of The Dental Essentials. She's also offer a (very generous) giveaway and coupon code! What is your company and how long have you been in business? Just over a year ago my partner and I created, "The Dental Essentials", a small l...
"If I told you the same story but instead of a mother and child it was a husband speaking to his wife would you excuse the behavior? What if it was an adult talking to their elderly parent? Would it be okay then? Would we say "Maybe they were having a hard day." and see their behavior as okay? Or would we expect them to find a way in which to heal their own hurts so that they could treat their partner or parent with the respect that they deserve? I think - and hope - it would be the latter."
It bears repeating.
Ten Steps to More Peaceful Parenting.
When I wrote this post earlier this month I was surprised by the powerful response it received. You commented, you shared, you emailed, you reached out. Some of you saw yourself in the child, others saw themselves in the mother. Many of you stressed that we can not possibly know the context of...
What a beautiful life and legacy. I can see her in you. Peace and love to you and your family as you celebrate her life.
Some Time Away.
Birdfoot's Grandpa The old man must have stopped our car two dozen times to climb out and gather into his hands the small toads blinded by our lights and leaping, live drops of rain. The rain was falling, a mist about his white hair and I kept saying you can't save them all. accept it, get bac...
This is my truth as well. Thank you for so beautifully articulating what my heart knows. As always, you are an inspiration.
Keeping it Real. Or: Why I make things myself.
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately... and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life... I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life..." ~ Thoreau Where I live it is not unusual to have friends in m...
We love these! We have been making them for several years using a combination of GF grain and seed flours - basically our regular pancake recipe.
Dandelion Fritters.
Wild edibles sometimes seem so... complicated. You have to find the time and the place to forage for your foods, you have to hit the season just right, you have to have good plant identification skills. While wild foods and foraging bring me great joy, it's not likely going to be something that...
Beautiful!!!
Truly A Happy Mother's Day.
This might be one of the most photo-heavy posts I've done so far. But yesterday was so darn lovely/pretty/playful/sunny in every way. A picnic in an old orchard, some wooden boats in a magic spring, hiking in the woods and drinking up the wonder of the season...
Thank you!!!! Wonderful ideas that will be implemented in our home this year!!!
Spring Baskets, Simplified.
All this talk of simplification had me in a mini-pickle about our spring baskets. What to do? We normally keep it pretty simple, but even "pretty simple" seems a bit obscene to me right now. Really. How many sweet little knitted/felted/wooden do-dads do my people need these days (or even want)? ...
I'm in too! I have the book and would love to read through it with you and the rest of these beautiful people.
Simplicity Parenting Book Club.
I get a lot of emails and comments from you saying that you come here for inspiration. And I'm glad for that. It feeds my soul and is much of why I come here day after day to talk with you. But you know, I am looking for inspiration too. I want a simple, clear, joy-filled life in which my c...
