Life is…. life, these days. Fun, fulfilling. But I feel the need for deeper connections with humans, these days. More of them. And, I suppose, within my own family. Yet at the same time, lethargy has set in. Day in, day out. For me, maybe this is a “con” of the internet. I have dear [...]

It’s raining tonight. It’s a nice, cozy rain. We went to a birthday party earlier for one of Derek’s friends and it was a good time, good food and friends. There was a point were most of the kids were running in crazy circles around the house, faster and faster and louder, and eventually, two [...]

Derek is at school. Coffee is brewed. I will now sit outside and drink it in the sun for awhile. Then to work, packing up orders, then bikram yoga in a couple hours. But right now…. sun and coffee.

No particular order or importance. 1. 2 things I learned since having a kid: Sun butter sandwiches are just delicious! (Sun butter is like peanut butter but made from sunflower seeds.) Also, life is too short to eat anything other than whole milk yogurt (in moderation). What a simple luxury. 2. I Wish my house [...]

Life is pretty good around here right now. Tonight, after Derek goes to sleep, I am going to make this. to eat for dessert tomorrow. I am so busy these days, I don’t cook much to enjoy the process, it’s mostly about a scratch dinner that is also quick to do with a toddler underfoot. [...]

Not enough time around for all I want to do. It is no one’s fault, no one to blame, but with various illnesses, and other distractions and time sucks, I’m behind. I am behind on my glass straws. I haven’t updated that blog in weeks. Months. I just goofed on a big order and unless [...]

after a shower, sprawled out on the bed. It has been a lovely weekend, fabulous weather, lots of water, fun, popsicles and lounging around. And the riding of scooters. My kiln needed a part and we installed it, but it still has a heating issue. I have one more thing to try, then I just [...]

honey. I am eating local organic yogurt and local honey. The honey is AMAZING. It says here…. * All honey is from beekeepers in the Willamette Valley, Oregon—except for Fireweed from Washington and Orange Blossom from California. * The honey is gently warmed to under 115 degrees Fahrenheit and the wax and larger particles skimmed. [...]

Today was, and still will be, I hope, wonderful. I spent 2+ hours at a local sauna/spa relaxing, laying around nekkid, sitting in the wet sauna, sweating out toxins, taking showers and splashing with cold water infused with mugwort. It was terrific. Then I went to Powell’s and flipped through a magazine or two before [...]

Ooo. I just took a shower with Derek AND DLJ. We were all in the garden today, a lot, and we all were dirty! We got a yard of blended compost/soil/manure to top off our veggie beds and replenish our soil storage tanks for the growing season. Half of it is already in the backyard [...]
