bowl counter dinner dump fill goes mixing pile wash
We are big composters. We compost everything - bread, tea bags, coffee grounds. I even dump out my old coffee in the garden. We keep a mixing bowl on the counter and just fill it up as the day goes along, then dump it in the mulch pile before dinner and wash it with the dinner dishes.

It's fun to think about plants not just as decorations but as functioning parts of our yard's ecosystem that attract wildlife to the garden.

We're looking for stories that speak to us. We're looking for stories that connect us with something true. But, instead, a lot of the time we get strippers. All I'm saying is, when boys are writing the stories, the percentage of strippers is bound to go up. And real stories about real women kinda don't get written at all.
eye hands rolling
The best things about womanhood might possibly even be the conversations. The chatting. The gabbing. The whispering. The hands-on-hips eye-rolling. The yukking-it up.
looks
Look for beauty in everything.
beauty imperfection human-condition

You are writing the story of your only life every single minute of every day.

There is no question that the objects that surround us impact our experience of the world.

Nothing that doesn’t push you past your limits can change your life. It’s true of work, it’s true of parenting, and it’s true — a hundred times over — of love.
