Putting beauty and simplicity at the forefront of everything we do. We tend to all corners of our lives this way. From the foods we eat, the garden beds we sow, the farm animals we raise, and the home we keep. We take our three boys along with us on this journey of finding the magic in the mundane.

Greetings! I hope I'm finding you well. Yesterday, I watched the boys use sticks they found in the woods as Jedi Lightsabers. With those same sticks, they saved a field mouse from becoming the cat's breakfast. Later on, they stuck their sticks down their boots and turned into dancing robots. They spent hours smashing a rock into another rock to make a fine rock dirt. Then, they mixed the dirt with water to make little pots, now curing in the sunshine. Content with their sticks and stones and...
Hello to you! Spring likes to change her mind, doesn't she? But there's a notable shift when she decides to stay. I think she has. I can smell it. The boys and I spent time foraging for Ramps forest side, catching crawdads in the creek, and picking wildflowers for a few projects we had in mind. And, last night I took a beloved house plant for a dance in the rain. A rain so rich in nitrogen that it instantly made the earth greener. I believe Spring has decided to stay. She's called me out,...
Hello friend, I've been thinking about you; wondering how you're doing. I've stepped away from sharing anything new this week. But only to be more present and intentional in the kitchen, with my boys, home, and farm. And in the coming weeks, I have so many exciting new things to share. Elevated thoughts, beautiful and nourishing content, that speaks the truth of my heart. I'm motivated by equal parts beauty and nourishment- quality and deep flavor. The kinds of delights that make you close...
Hello to you! We've passed through a seasonal threshold since we've talked last. And, like the buds on the maple trees, I'm swelling with anticipation. It's snowing as I write to you... and just like the maple trees, I can handle it. Not only can the maple trees handle it, but these fluctuations in temperature are vital to the flow of their sap. They will use these cold streaks in the spring as one last opportunity; to focus all their energy within, pushing their sap upwards, and gifting us...
Hello! This week on the blog, I'm sharing my tried and true pie crust recipe. This is a recipe that I've been refining over the last decade. And, yes it's sourdough. Would it even be one of my recipes if it wasn't? Listen, feeling my best, is important to me. In the name of good health, I've tried many diets, fasts, and restrictions (I will dive deeper into that some other time). They always felt rigorous, and boring. And, for someone like me, who just wants to have fun, it felt like torture....
