We’ve been very loosely homeschooling the girls for about a month or two. We are still trying to find our rhythm since baby boy arrived in September and my work has been insane since it’s the holiday season. Today I’m sharing few thoughts about homeschooling, including a few elements I want to incorporate into our […]

Disclaimer: this post is going to be extremely long! So grab a cup of coffee and let your boss know you’re going to be late for work 😉 I’m sharing our home water birth story, why we decided on a home birth, and how we welcomed our newest little one into our lives. Joe and […]

As a work-from-home mom with only 1-2 days per week devoted to an 8-hour work day, I have to be so, so careful and intentional with my time. Over the past year I’ve had to implement a few somewhat basic, but nonetheless necessary, routines into my life. I’m not a very “good habit” person by nature, so these […]

An Intentional Autumn took place November 10-14 at Foxfire Mountain House, a stunningly restored 100 year-old inn in the heart of the Catskills. We welcomed thirteen students (and […]

As a [mostly] work from home mom to an incredibly busy 3 year old and a not-so-busy 19 month old, almost every day looks different for us! I try to devote 2 days per week to work. The girls go to Nana’s house one of those days, and my sweet mother’s helper comes over on the other day. The […]

It was such a pleasure to sink one’s hands into the warm earth, to feel at one’s fingertips the possibilities of the new season. – Kate Morton, The Forgotten Garden Each year we’ve been at our little VA farmhouse, we’ve added a bit to our garden! The first year, we did nothing except manage what the […]
