My oldest and I (he's an ARBA Jr member! ...which mostly means that his membership inspired him to actually want … Continue reading Rabbit Tats

Fermentation Day! And a few updates

If it looks like a mess to you, you would be correct in that assessment. Today is fermentation Day in the kitchen, and it has not been bland or uneventful, in any sense. I've been getting jars of lacto-fermented veggies going. I've got some ACV, cucumber pickles, and curtido going. I also made some spelt … Continue reading Fermentation Day! And a few updates

Homestead Chaos!

Today is exactly the kind of day that that would see me go into labor- we shall see... My husband went out this morning to check on the animals and move the rabbit tractor to fresh grass for the morning.

Preparing for My First Ever Homebirth

One beautiful and charming aspect of homebirth that I'm extremely excited for is the capacity I am afforded to prepare and to have my personal preferences accommodated. After birthing 4 children, I've learned what is "normal," what is "traumatic," how my body handles each phase of labor, when I want a hand to hold, when … Continue reading Preparing for My First Ever Homebirth

Nesting

She's dropped significantly in 24 hours, and while I sensed this would be the case, I'm still not totally prepared. So, because we're done with school, and I don't … Continue reading Nesting

But I asked my husband to help me think through some solutions because we were so confident in our hoop coop build as being … Continue reading Crazy Night on the Homestead
