homesteading in ohio
this morning we had to be up at (early enough to capture this stunning sunrise) to get to yet another doctor’s appointment. (it’s been one of those weeks.) since we were up, though, we made the most of it. we stopped at a local bakery and grabbed some treats; headed down to the Cleveland Metroparks and […]
today–well, this weekend, marks the official end of summer. yesterday I realized that once again I let time fly by….and the beautiful days were coming to a close way to quickly. so last night I sent a text to this guy; that said, “tomorrow we go on an adventure.” and this morning, we did. beach […]
When I was about seven, we moved from the tiny brick bungalow, and the only home I’d known, into a shiny, new, yellow aluminum sided four bedroom colonial. It was nestled on a the end of a cul de sac in a neighborhood that was full of strange kids who would become my walk to school […]
after a stressful few weeks: a large custom knitting order finally in the mail, we finally had matching days off; so the mister and I got in the car and headed south on a bright not so cold mid march morning. I planned it out in advance without letting him know where we were going. just […]
I’m sitting here sipping a delicious cup of tea/bourbon/ginger infused simple syrup, (mainly because I was feeling the tinge of a cold starting, but also because I had made a jar of the syrup last night and needed a good excuse to use it) when I started thinking about how often I turn to ginger for […]
everyone needs a time out now and then. I find that even though I spend a lot of time alone, I still need to place myself in some quiet isolation and just think things through. I used to “lock” myself in the bedroom as the kids were collapsing on the other side of the door […]
seems like just yesterday it was the beginning of spring, and here we are talking about pumpkins and apples and feeling the chill in the air. I’ve been working hard getting ready for a holiday craft show (more on that at a later date.) also, walks on the beach, lots of swimming and a few really […]
(finally) looking back, and realizing that we have moved six times in the past year helps me understand why lately I just feel like sitting on the bed zoning out to back episodes of shows like “keeping up with the kardashians” and “brooklyn nine nine”. mindless brain numbing occupiers of my time. but last […]
sometimes things don’t go as planned. so, alas we are moving again. moving; and moving on. I am ready for peace, and to focus on our goals. life this past year has been seriously crazy. I means seriously crazy; the stress landed me in the hospital the other night. but now, I’m ready to […]
the last morning with these two boys, in my tiny studio apartment on the Hudson River, I told them they could only watch a movie if they made my bed. “we don’t know how to make a bed!” figure it out, I told them. and you need to do it together, with no fighting. it […]
