Teaching and inspiring people to live more wholesome, healthy, simpler lives. Homesteading Wilderness Weekend Retreat. Monday, August 3, 2015. And I cleaned clutter (or at least hid it in my bedroom upstairs, with, you guessed it, the door closed). I polished kitchen counters and the stove so that they were positively gleaming! You know who IS loving this heat? The laundry dries in about 20 seconds, flapping in this incredible heat and wind. And the calendula flowers? They grow new blossoms as soon as I ...

Teaching and inspiring people to live more wholesome, healthy, simpler lives. Homesteading Wilderness Weekend Retreat. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Ice bergs, tooth in a lake, and anger. This week, I took my three children and escaped to the mountains for three days. I desperately needed to get away after several separate crises happened all in one week. I was hurting, and on top of that I was mad at my husband and didn't want to be near him, so the mountains sounded like a great hideout. For the next few d...

Teaching and inspiring people to live more wholesome, healthy, simpler lives. Homesteading Wilderness Weekend Retreat. Sunday, November 23, 2014. These days, you need to be careful of crossing our path. Sparks have been flying in every direction. Steve and I are finding ourselves sucked into a powerful vortex of creation, which finds us armed with knitting needles and axes, and which catapults pieces of yarn and fiber (in my case) and wood chips and saw dust (in Steve's case) into our space. Yes, I could.

Teaching and inspiring people to live more wholesome, healthy, simpler lives. Homesteading Wilderness Weekend Retreat. Monday, July 28, 2014. Our week was packed to the very top, every ounce of fun you could possibly imagine crammed into a finite amount of hours per day. If there only were more hours! On the island, we stayed with our friends Scott and Brigit, who run Sweet Grass Farm. Once back from our island getaway, lots of food needed my attention. I harvested and froze broccoli and cauliflower&...

Some people seem to think that home schooled kids don't get enough socialization. Ha! Folks Luke wore the buck skin shirt he made. Don't worry, the deer he is shooting at is not real. That's Steve and the boys in the lake. Me? Let's see, what else happened this week? Preparing the figs from our tree for dehydrating:. And doesn't Steve look oh-so-happy for getting...

Teaching and inspiring people to live more wholesome, healthy, simpler lives. Homesteading Wilderness Weekend Retreat. Sunday, May 31, 2015. I really, really liked this cat. Although I'm allergic to cats, I let him come inside in the evenings so we could pet him and give him some love. He always hung out with me in the garden, hiding behind bushes and rubbing up against me when I sat down. I miss him. One very small consolation is that. 1) We found Oscar and don't have to wonder what happened to him.

Teaching and inspiring people to live more wholesome, healthy, simpler lives. Homesteading Wilderness Weekend Retreat. Monday, September 29, 2014. But I won't talk about this right now, no, I won't. Balm for the soul, I tell you. What with majestic Mount Baker and Shuksan looming so large. it puts all your problems into perspective. And the huckleberries! Our tongues and lips looked vampire-like after hiking up these alpine meadows dotted with blue berries. Kai caught a fish! Of course, there was lots an...

Teaching and inspiring people to live more wholesome, healthy, simpler lives. Homesteading Wilderness Weekend Retreat. Wednesday, August 26, 2015. Update on our wildfire. Right now, I am living and breathing two things:. 1) The wildfire that's burning very, very close to our house (and spreading). 2) Marketing my online cheese making course. This was a flare-up on Monday, when the fire ran up Newhalem Creek. Photo taken two minutes from our house. We are not in danger, I think. Everyone re-assures us...
