Very busy around here the last week or so. I’ll touch on one thing that I find myself drifting to constantly. Crafting of any kind: sewing, paper arts, making soaps or other household goods, etc. Right now a clothesline is in the works as are new curtains for the bedroom and kitchen. If I can [...]

Better late than never, right?
CSA: New potatoes, 7 tomatoes, 2 bunches of green onions, cherries, 2 zucchini, some picklers (is that even a word), and a bag of greens
Market: I went expecting to not get much but ended up with 2 pounds of peas to shell and two bags of cherries. I tried to photo the [...]

I thought I would be posting once more to warn of my absence, but alas I didn’t meet the deadline. I am, however, back and ready to go now. Sorry about that readers!
Do you make any household cleaners yourself? We make our own laundry detergent and are quite happy with it. Here’s the recipe I [...]

This week was hectic. I was out of town four of the seven days. Thankfully one of the days I was home was Friday Farm Day. Every Friday the girls and I head out of town to “our farm” for milk and CSA. I love “our farmers” to pieces. They are down to earth and [...]

I wrote a rather lengthy post about our food choices and planned on expanding on that some. I’ll start with local foods seeing as this is the beginning of the growing season in our area.
My eventual goal is to be able to grow and store much of the food we consume. This is a lofty [...]

So while we don’t have cable or satellite feeds we do have a T. V. , DVD player, and lots of DVDs. My husband also has a Game Cube. While in my fantasy world none of these would exist that is okay…it’s not just my world! For fun we work it a little different around [...]
CSA Report June 6th

Our CSA contents this week were still on the slim side. The growing season here is off to a slow start. I know it won’t be long, though, until I start drowning in beans, peas, broccoli, and such! My three gallons of milk looked extra welcoming today. I see strawberries and cream in our future [...]
more in the garden

In my gardening post I forgot to mention my renewed interest in herbs. I’ve always had a few on hand for cooking. Usually basil, rosemary, and cilantro. I’ve just recently, however, started learning about herbs and their healing properties. I was amazed at what I could find in my own yard and gardens that could [...]

I actually have no clue if I garden in a traditional way or not, but I do garden and that has to count for something. No chemicals and composting our food and yard waste seems like it should count as well.
I tried gardening when we first bought our little house. I hated it. Who could [...]
our traditional food

This can be a long story, I’ll try to keep it to the point. It all starts when I was having some medical issues and wanting to expand the family some. Long story short adoption was the route we were blessed to find. For anyone reading this that has ever remotely thought of doing this: dig deeper [...]
