When I make something that tastes as good as this ginger cilantro slaw, I imagine the clouds parting as the sun shines on my face while Jake Ryan my husband waves at me from across the street because he wants to give me a ride in his red Porsche with his cuffed pants and ohhhh […]
3 Natural Deodorant Pitfalls
Today I thought I’d talk about a few of the natural deodorant “pitfalls” (see what I did there?) I’ve picked up on since I started my crunchy, hippie, surprisingly NOT stinky natural skin care journey. I’ve had some people express frustration with using the “natural” stuff.

Pictures of Chickens…and musings on Chicken Crack.
We have 18 chickens. They’re just now turning 8 weeks old, and they just got to go outside for the first time. I feel like the parent of a teenager with a freshly-minted driver’s license. Every time they hop into the grass from their cozy coop, I feel like saying “be careful! Watch out! Don’t […]
