Adventures of a Wandering Homebody
Making It Look Easy
That’s what someone said about me. This morning. There I was, standing with my 3 year old outside the preschool door waiting for school to open. With my coffee mug in my hand. Not the travel mug that I should have brought in the…
Simply Bedtime
We have been blessed with a dawdler. The bedtime routine itself is enough to drive me to drink (okay, maybe just pull my hair out). Never mind attempting to have her (the dawdler) clean up the playroom; that makes my blood rise and my…
A Toad Abode
So, needless to say, I spend a lot of time in the garden. And therefore, so do my kids. My oldest is very interested in doing what mommy does and has her own garden (which at times has grown better than mine!). She takes…
Bow-chicka-wowwow
There is a whole lot of romanticizing happening in my garden right now. The ‘birds and the bees’ have got nothing on the cucumbers and tomatoes. Every morning I walk out to check on the garden and witness nature doing her job. It’s beautiful,…
Swiss Chard, ugh!
I’m having a love-hate relationship with Swiss Chard lately. It is so easy to grow in the garden and it seems that every magazine I open lately is touting its nutritional value. And, okay, its just so darn pretty! (we grow the bright lights variety)….
Been gone too long
A million excuses. I have them all. I’m simply going to say “working mom of two young children with a one hour commute” and hope that covers it. I miss writing and documenting about my family and our adventures and the garden. Sadly, I…
So Easy Butternut Squash Soup
I feel like butternut squash soup is ‘in’ right now. So many people seem to be making it from scratch and I decided to give it a try myself a few weeks ago. It came out okay and then I tweaked the recipe when…
Tuesday Crafternoon: Gobble Gobble, Thanks
Bean hijacked crafternoon today. Tuesday crafternoons began so I could plan to have structured time with my kids and give them artsy project time that they love. I take responsibility for planning the activities each week, with input from them around themes. Being a…
Tuesday Crafternoon: Paper Tube Owls
My Bean collects toilet paper tubes. “We should reuse these”, she’ll say (she’s really great at reusing and recycling). Problem is, I have some kind of creativity block when it comes to paper tubes. I know there are a million things to do with them,…
The Eye of the Storm?
As the winds whipped through the woods and rain drummed on the roof, I had an unexpected moment of clarity as I looked around my home and realized that there was no place else I would rather be. Now, clearly I love my husband…
