After eavesdropping on a couple of friends who are giving themselves a new photo challenge each week, I have decided to do something similar. I’ve missed my camera! This week’s theme is all about the beauty that Autumn presents us in all her glorious colors. We always talk about Spring being a new beginning. But, [...]

I have been working on making a great loaf of homemade bread again. I use to make bread all the time, but haven’t regularly for several years. I’ve been experimenting with different recipes and trying new things and today’s attempt turned out really well; I’m pleased!
The Cinnamon-Swirl loaf looks very good this time – nice [...]

Time to check in and be accountable for my projects. Does anyone else feel like once you start a project, it has a life of it’s own and it anxiously awaits completion? I didn’t feel this until a couple of years ago when I was sorting and organizing the closet in our office/craft room. Suddenly [...]

Hey! It’s nice to be back! Garret and I spent a week in Arizona for our youngest daughter’s wedding (more on that later), and there was just way too much going on to keep up the blog. I missed every last one of you, though, and I’m so happy to be back!
Tonight is our Cub [...]

Mung Beans turned out to be a favorite. The sprouted beans taste just like fresh peas straight from the garden! These are particularly yummy on a salad, but I found myself occasionally grabbing a bite straight from the fridge for a ‘snack’. And they were super easy to sprout. Try them and let [...]

Sunflower Lettuce??
Hmmmm… sounds… intriguing. Since I was shooting (punny?) for a lettuce replacement first and foremost, when I heard I could grow ‘lettuce’ from sunflower seeds, I was most curious and decided that would be my first sprouting experiment. The package on the Sunflower Sprouting Seeds I bought says, “Sunflower Lettuce is a favorite mainstay [...]

On our new ‘reduced-budget, living-out-of-town’ journey, I have discovered items that it would be good to be more self-sufficient with. I can say that I’m only going to the store once every two weeks to save on gas and impulse spending, but that means that for at least one week we go without certain perishables; [...]

My list this week is simple and full of the little things that make my life right now awesome.
I am thankful for:
1. Discovering how little ’stuff’ I need in my life. I thought I was a fairly simple gal with a pared-down life before. And then we moved here and started our post-business journey and [...]

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been dreaming of growing fresh herbs and vegetables. Maybe its spring fever; or I’m getting more accustomed to the idea that if I don’t grow it, I have to “drive in to town” to get it. Or that I now live in a climate that doesn’t fight against [...]

My next big learning curve is, I believe, going to be in the “Business Management” department. Trying to determine what to make, how many to make, what sells, how much to charge, how often to post, how to keep my store fresh… It makes me a little weak but it’s really just energizing! I love making new [...]
