Things I Love: Has it really been that long?! Yipes!
Wow…it has been a while since I’ve last checked in!

Things I Love: Coming Home
We have been in our own home and wee acre for a year now. After thirteen moons, this place is beginning to feel like it might be a reality. This is dreamy, but it is not a dream or borrowed time on someone else’s property. It took us a while to make big changes to…

Things I Love: Rainy Days, but not this many…

Gutters are overflowing, mud puddles are growing, and roads are slick with rainfall. And right on cue, we got hit with the reach of Hurricane Joaquin who sent more…
Things I Love: October, Crafting, Garlic, and Bonfire
Eric and I build a small bonfire outside at least once a week. We sit around it and talk, share stories, play our banjo and ukulele, respectively, and throw all of our stresses and negativity into the fire. Fire is a cleansing spirit, a powerful thing that can get out of control if not treated…
Small Steps
