A glimpse at summer
April 1, 2012Snow Day
January 24, 2012Saying goodbye to summer!
September 26, 2011Today seems like the perfect summer day even though it is already a few days into Fall. The weather is warm, sunny with a nice breeze. The girls and I enjoyed a nice lunch out and while they are both napping (yay!) I’m sitting outside on my patio soaking in the last of the [...]
Strawberry Harvest
June 20, 2011Summer is a day away and what better way to celebrate the start of summer than with strawberry picking! John, Charlotte and I visited C.N. Smith Farms on Saturday for the annual Father’s Day strawberry festival. We spent the entire morning picking strawberries, visiting the farm animals and soaking up all that nature has to [...]
The Blessing of Rain
May 16, 2011This weekend John and I started to tackle more of our garden. About a month ago we cleared the area for planting and this weekend we started to plant some of our seeds.

Day on the Farm
March 31, 2011The month of April starts tomorrow and with the beginning of April comes the start of the cranberry growing season.

Farewell to Mothering magazine print
February 17, 2011This week Revel alerted me to the new development at Mothering that they would no longer offer a print version of my beloved magazine. Mothering magazine is now exclusively a web only magazine. Since 1979 Mothering has offered women insightful, inspirational articles and stories for natural mothering. The November-December issue was there last. I was [...]
Holistic Moms
February 10, 2011I’ve recently become a part of the Holistic Moms network, South Shore chapter. I have my first meeting this month. I’ve been looking for ways to connect with moms on the south shore and despite my efforts going to free library groups and swim class at the YMCA, I haven’t made many mom friends. Most [...]
