“”No man can live without joy” is what Thomas Aquinas wrote. And I confess, it is true, I have known many dead waiting to die”.[i] * Here I sit, fireside, in a leather chair, sipping my Starbucks. I haven’t seen my husband or children in 24 hours. I’ve interacted only with total ...
It's inevitable. When you're at the waddling stage of pregnancy (so, the entire last trimester for me pretty much) you get asked two questions at least a billion times a day. 1) How much longer? 2) How are you feeling? Number one is usually met with shock and horror when I ...

You may recall a post I wrote back in January when I was half-way through this pregnancy, talking about the decision I faced of where to birth this babe. Since I live in a small town and travel to the city for midwifery care, I also have to birth in the city (I dream of having a home ...
Intentional & Alternative Living
{Average Sized Homes Around the World} I recently came across this graph depicting the average home size from countries around the world, and it intrigued me. Many of the comments on that article critique the way the numbers are depicted, but the fact remains - Americans are ...

Desserts
This is the stuff I grew up on. Commonly called "boiled icing", every birthday cake for every family member was covered in this fluffy sweet goodness. My mom's recipe calls for corn syrup and sugar, both of which are ingredients that I now avoid. So I modified the recipe to be ...

About Me
I’m a mom of four with an obsession for all things natural health, but I’m driven by wellness, not perfection. I’m an eternal optimist, a non-conformist, and a classic INFP. When I was 19, I married my total-opposite hubby, who is an ESTJ. This remains both the craziest and the best decision we’ve ever lived to tell about.
