new spaces / new year: dinner helper

January 13, 2012 Creativity

It seems like all we do is prepare food, eat food, and clean up from eating food with a family of six.  Do you ever feel that way sometimes?  We recently started a chart of “dinner helpers” who are responsible for, well, helping with dinner.  Caroline, 6, and Johanna, 4, are the only two on [...]

new spaces / new year: a baking station

January 12, 2012 Bake

We don’t buy bread.  And for that reason, I am supposed to be on top of things in terms of baking our daily bread, rolls, etc.  This is definitely a weakness lately– just ask my family.  They know those days well by eating crackers with their lunch.  I’m pretty tired of it, too.  You see, [...]

food and the home: creating traditions

August 12, 2011 Bake

hip aromatherapy play dough

August 4, 2011 Art

My children are becoming increasingly familiar with many essential oil uses in our home.  I can’t get over how much essential oils are changing the way I act, look at healing, cleaning, playing, etc.  I have a few exciting recipes to share at another time of our summer’s bug spray and sun soother using essential [...]

make your own reusable produce bags

July 28, 2011 Create

Life is good…now.  Tomorrow is the last day of swimming lessons, I recently got my car back since not having it for 6 days, and stuff like that.  Yesterday I did things that I just needed to do to feel like a happy mom: take the kids to swim, tidy, and run. This morning I [...]

February 24, 2011 Eat

As things are slowly coming together in our disheveled house right now (and I’m preparing to host the first non-traditional homeschooling meeting right here in my living room tonight!), I thought this would be the perfect time to share some pretty incredible deals with you.  Two deals you can’t pass up.  Here we go:
