I received an email a few weeks back inviting to participate in a recipe exchange. It was a pyramid type of exchange and they asked you to share a simple, favorite recipe that you could write without looking. The idea would be that in the next week or so I would receive new recipes. I [...]
Last month Anni Daulter sent me a copy of her new cook book Organically Raised: Conscious Cooking for Babies and Toddlers. I’ve been preoccupied these past weeks, but every chance I get I pick it up just to soak in its loveliness. Well written and full of stunning photos of both beautiful babies and sumptuous [...]
I usually like to post on Mondays, but this past Monday I was busy preparing for and participating on Expectations Radio. Karen Angstadt, who is an amazing conscious birth mentor, hosts a live show every Monday, focusing on empowered childbirth. We met networking on Twitter and she invited me to be a guest on the [...]
Our Elimination Diet was perfectly aligned with our 21 Day Experiment. Koala and I went a three full weeks without soy, dairy, eggs, wheat, corn, or flour of any kind.

I am blessed to have a full native nursery at my finger tips. Stone is in business with the The Plantsmen Nursery. The Plantsmen restores and installs native landscapes and Stone implements the hardscape design and stone art into the project. Today we went to pick up some plants we are donating for our local [...]
FARMERS’ MARKET! It was a long cold winter, but that’s all behind us now that it’s farmers’ market season. It was sunny and warm, the birds were chirping, neighbors were waving and friends were abundant. Good food, live music, art and friendly faces were inside, but you’ll have to wait for those pics this a [...]
