I've used some form or fashion of busy box/bag for my kiddos for years! But the older kiddos are beginning to weary of my playdough and flash cards. So, in addition to growing the content of the boxes to their ages and skill levels, I'm also putting together some other things for them to build … Continue reading Busy Boxes: Homestead Style
I was being nostalgic (always dangerous for me) and going through some older posts and photos. And I noticed something... I did way better at mothering and homeschooling before the 2021-2022 homeschool year... why? What totally fell apart this year that had [has] me in spiritual/emotional/routine/everything shambles? So I started to reflect and ponder. Because … Continue reading Some End of the School Year/ Life Reflection

We added woodchips around the … Continue reading Lessons from the Garden & Updates

It's been awesome, and I highly recommend it. That book coupled with a renewed vigor for "relational permaculture" (relationship to the Creator and His design for growing … Continue reading Slow Progress

I had forgotten what it's like to be pregnant and allergy-ridden through the spring/summer. I don't recommend it. I don't think I've been able to breathe freely without a foot digging into my ribcage or congestion and itchiness in at least 2 weeks. And trying to stay away from OTC allergy medications means I'm sticking … Continue reading Homestead Update: Restless
