Oh, goodness. I've been hard at work laying foundations for New year routines. My number one priority this year is my prayer life and relationship with God. I've been getting in the practice of waking up before the children (at least the youngest two- my 3 year old isn't much of a sleeper) to spend … Continue reading Homestead Update

Through partnering with Canva and Printful, we've been able to design our very own mugs! The first one to hit the Etsy shop is our SMH taste and see mug. Available in 11 and 15oz capacity I am SO excited! They'll go great with some of our loose-leaf back to Eden peppermint herbal tea!
No Harm in Farmin’: Shout Out!
I'm a dreamer. A dangerous pass time, I know. But, I started thinking... The other day, my 3 year old said, "What are you doing thinking!?" I think he meant what do you think you're doing, but the poignancy of his statement made me giggle... ...I started thinking, hey, wouldn't it be cool if I … Continue reading No Harm in Farmin’: Shout Out!

Luffa Gourds: Natural Sponges
I had been looking for something unique to grow on the homestead. I tried heirloom purple broccolis and cauliflowers to no avail-- cabbage loopers and cutworms destroyed them despite my efforts to save them. The same happened with my cabbages and brussel sprouts. The asparagus didn't turn out either. However-- the luffa gourds took off! … Continue reading Luffa Gourds: Natural Sponges
Shaggy Maple Herbal Teas
We've got peppermint tea ready for sale in our Etsy shop! More to come as the season progresses. We've been hard at work harvesting, drying, and packaging.

Preparation for Fall Market: herbs and seeds
We're currently engaging in all of the bureaucracy involved in selling at our local farmer's market. There are a lot of permits to acquire for live plant sales and seed sales. That said, the more fun part of the job is happening now: harvest! I was out early this morning harvesting mint, parsley, sage, and … Continue reading Preparation for Fall Market: herbs and seeds
Some Wintery Crochet Projects
I get an itch to crochet as soon as the weather snaps cold. This year, I set out to make my family coordinating Christmas stockings, each with a different stripe pattern to designate each individual's stocking, and so far, I'm 85% done with one. Here it is so far: I'll finish out the foot and … Continue reading Some Wintery Crochet Projects
Sewing Project: Essential Oil Travel Holder
I'm always overwhelmed by the sheer volume of oils I think I need to take with me when I travel. Honestly, do I really need a dozen bottles of oil? Truthfully, probably not, so long as I take the big 4 (Tea Tree, Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint). But let's face it, I like to be … Continue reading Sewing Project: Essential Oil Travel Holder
