The Unexpected Joys of a Big Family šŸ’› & The Homemade Year KICK OFF!!

Hey Reader, When Jason and I got married, I always dreamed of having a big familyā€”though at the time, my idea of "big" was 4-6 kids! Jason thought 4 sounded perfect, so we always joked that we agreed on 5. But over the years, our perspective on children, family, and even retirement has shifted dramatically. We went from thinking weā€™d be ā€œdoneā€ having kids by 30 to embracing the idea that God designed womenā€™s fertility to last much longer. We once pictured our golden years as an empty nest and...

Hey Reader, The older I get, the more interested I am in learning skills that produce either heirloom items (like a hand crocheted blanket) or that pass along knowledge and skill (like canning and gardening)! For awhile now, I've become increasingly interested in a handicraft called punch needle. Now that I've gotten to...

Hey Reader, This week it's been in the high 70s and low 80s, mosquitos and flies are out, and it doesn't feel like mid-November. However, something shifted in my brain this week and I'm READY to start thinking about Thanksgiving & Christmas now. Rachel Jankovic famously said, "When you are behind on life, get ahead on Christmas." That sounds good right about now. Whoā€™s with me? šŸ™‹ā™€ļøJason and I have had a lot of chats this Fall about how we want to do Christmas a bit differently. We want to...

Hey Reader, Thank you so much for the terrific feedback you provided last week on my new newsletter format!

So I'm bringing that back! Firstly starting with our Mr. Radley who turned...

Hey Reader, Every time I turn around, I am involved in another conversation about: The economy, rising costs of everything, grocery budgets, the housing market, etc. At the same time, many of us are on the journey of trying to cook healthier for our families, take toxins out of our homes, and figure out ways for our families to THRIVE. But what do we do when our goal is to help our family THRIVE when everything feels so unstable and chaotic? This feeling and unease isn't new. It's been years...
