I had never heard of Busy Bags for toddlers until an invite to a local busy bag mom swap came across my Facebook feed. I clicked on it, saw the crafty things moms would be making and immediately loved the idea. My general overview of busy bags is that these are homeschool like activities for […]

Inside our fridge with raw milk
I have long been curious about raw milk. I have friends who have been getting raw milk for years. We already get all our vegetables (and some fruit) from a CSA where we know exactly where it is all coming from. We enjoy having a friendly relationship with “Farmer Megan,” as my children refer to […]

There’s been a whole lot of canning going on here
Our demo plans for our kitchen have been pushed back a couple of weeks. Because we decided to have our contractors hand build all the windows and doors for our mudroom, being built off the back entrance way to our kitchen. The glaze is drying on the windows, and the final door is being made […]
