A Crunchy Life

I love how Erin is always using watercolors with her kids to create.  It inspired me recently for a project we’ve been planning to make for my FIL.  He is retiring from teaching this December and while we were vacationing with him in early August I offered for us to make him a paper chain [...]

I am always amazed when tiny seeds, when placed in dirt with some water, produce food like this: I harvested these on the 27th to add to Amanda Soule’s Carrot Tomato Soup.  (Yes, all was washed before adding to the pot!) We had plenty for dinner that night with leftovers for yesterday & today.  I [...]

From Soulemama: {this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Just ran out to get a peek of Bessie packed & ready (almost) to leave in the morning for our annual camping trip in the Adirondacks. We are all giddy with excitement. I’m sure there will be lots of sharing when we get back. Until then, I hope you all are finding your way toward [...]

Tie-dye, plaid, & loafers: L3 stylin’ his way, in the summertime.
