If it seems unbelievably ridiculous that I am about to write about knitting – hold onto your hats – because here I go. I can’t wait to share some of the cutest and most engaging knitting projects for kids. If you come here often you might recall my struggle with knitting hats last year. The struggle…
Crafts, Lotions, and Potions That Will Have You Running for Beeswax
I did something over the weekend that I thought I would never do again. I made soap. Sounds simple, but goodness that Lye makes me nervous. But I did it. I conquered my fear, I tried it again, and guess what? The second time was not nearly as bad. Only moderately terrifying. Perhaps next time…
Pole Bean Teepee {A Photo on Friday}
A photo on Friday, because sometimes all you need is the picture. (But I have a little story this Friday too …) Last year I shared a snap pea trellis fort I had made in the garden for my little ones. Not all of my ideas are fabulous (or in fact even good) and unfortunately…
Chickens and Kids
I have realized that I don’t write enough about my chickens. So today, I will do exactly that. Oh, where to begin? These ladies were precisely the reason we moved out here in the first place. Silly? I suppose. But true. We were longing for a simpler life, growing and making our own wherever we…
Spring!
The most amazing thing happened on the weekend – Spring! Well, one day of it at least. The snow did return yesterday, but that is just part and parcel for living in Canada, eh? But that one day – goodness, it was good. We spent every last minute outside and enjoying the sunshine (and the…

Food that I would never believe my children would actually eat. But once in awhile – they do! This breakfast casserole is so very healthy. The main ingredient is…

Alright friends, some exciting news – my little sister is getting married! This weekend my Mom, older sister, and I threw her a lovely rustic wedding shower at my farmhouse. My little sister is one of a kind. Thoughtful, sweet, and always has been. Truly. She is just one of those amazing people. She has…
Sometimes a Mama LIES …
I wish I wasn’t writing this post. I wish I was writing to tell you about all of the fluffy baby chicks we now have in our barn. I wish I was writing about what a wonderful Mama Chloe turned out to be. I wish I was telling you this, but I’m not going to….
