I sent The Girl Who Thinks She’s a Bird to fetch the free produce from the market this past week. When she walked through the front door with her loot she announced, “There were only 3 boxes.” She looked defeated.

My friend Mama JJ has me hooked on this granola recipe. I pretty much want to marry it. Delicious does not even begin to describe it. Not one bit. If you have never tried to make your own granola before, put it on your bucket list. Seriously, because once you make it, you’ll be like… Read More >>

I think you guys are going to be a little surprised this Wednesday when I announce how many vegetables I was able to harvest this past week. I don’t know if it’s because we had such a long {and wet} spring, but all the cold weather crops are growing like nuts this year. I can barely Read More >>

Yesterday was a bit of a blur. The HH worked for a few hours in the morning, I ran errands, The Girl had practice, and Monkey Boy did what all normal teenage boys do on a Saturday morning, slept in. And then as soon as we were all back in the house together, we had Read More >>
