It’s summer. You’re in the garden, you’re at the beach, you’re on the soccer field, you’re sipping wine on a patio. Wherever you are, you’re likely soaking up the sun. So, with that in mind, I’m here’s a quick DIY to help your skin recover just in case you’ve maybe stayed out a bit too…
in the garden :: spring 2024
The spring has come to a close, and it has been my favorite spring on this property so far. This was just our third spring here, but it was the first time that we’ve had capacity to do some of the extra things simply for the sake of beauty and pleasure, rather than focusing solely…
in the garden :: april, may, and june 2023

The birth photos were taken by my amazing doula Anna Botz and the close up picture of Alder’s face was taken by Rob Morgan, friend and photographer extraordinaire. He was born over…
living smallish :: kids’ room
I will never forget when we first walked through our little Minneapolis home-to-be with our realtor. We climbed the narrow staircase, looked in the first bedroom, then walked into the second. It was a small room and the realtor asked me what we would use this small room for. I said, “A bedroom, of course!”…
life abundantly
