30 days of thanks… day 3
Today I am so thankful for the beautiful weather we have been having here in Miami. So that my children have been able to go play at the park in the afternoons to run some of their crazies out! I am grateful for UNschooling in showing me it is possible for 4-5 children aged 2-12 [...]
30 days of thanks…day 2
Ha ha sneaking this one in there! Unfortunately for me I’m still very much thankful for Lexi and tea. I am also thankful today that salves can be made in a drawn out process giving me time to rest in between. I was so lucky to have lexi measure out the beeswax and cocoa butter [...]
Geography
WOW so I was looking though all my old sales today while having a coughing fit and drinking a cup of tea curious to see how many states & countries I’ve shipped products to over the past few years and I was pleasantly surprised! 45 of 50 states have been covered and lets try to [...]
30 days of thanks… day 1
Yes I know two posts in one day. I just wanted to say even though today I feel quite under the weather and have a to do list 84,000 things deeps that will never get finished I am thankful. I am most thankful today for hot cups of tea with herbs thoughtfully added by my [...]
Menu Plan Monday … September
Yes I know most people just post what they are eating that week but well there are many kids in our house and because of the dynamics of a military budget I plan for about a month at a time. I will link to anywhere I can for a recipe though I do tend to [...]
Packaging Revamp…Soap Bars
Well last we spoke I had a few ideas I was pondering. I bit the bullet and headed over to Etsy to hire someone to do the job after I realized it was beyond my skill to get it the way I wanted. After a couple hours of looking and getting sidetracked the way I [...]
New Small Body Butter Jars
I’ve been waiting patiently since December when I started getting low on my stash of the cobalt blue glass jars I use in my body butters to come back in stock. THREE different suppliers have told me they would be in as early as this past March so I waited… and waited… and waited some [...]
Why I’ve been so quiet
So as I had posted previously I had run a second Heartsy deal to try and offset the oversupply I had from Artscape. In about 48 hours I had around 135 orders between Heartsy and my regular orders. This is the second and smaller batch of orders awaiting pickup. I still have about 20 more [...]
Wednesday Wishes
I have to honestly say a major wish of mine has come true. We have all six of our kids living full time in our house. The last of our kids to come live with us was my oldest daughter Brenna, who arrived Monday afternoon. Meet Brenna. This post can be a bit of a [...]
Recipe … Red Beans & Rice
In keeping with sharing our menu for the month last Monday I’ll share one of our recipes with you today, or at least the way I mostly do it anyway. I tend to improvise in the kitchen a lot. I also had intended in getting lots of step by step instructions for the recipe but [...]
House Tour … Lexi’s Room
I know we’ve seen all the bits and pieces of this one. The quilt, the curtains, bits snuck in now you can see it almost all put together. Here you can see the quilt & the curtains on her bed. To match the embroidery work on her dresses Wendy also cut some little dresses in [...]
Heartsy
Well barely down from the whirlwind of the first heartsy deal back in April, the move, Artscape and here I am full circle jumping back in to the Heartsy ring. You might ask why. The simple reason is I over made for Artscape. I didn’t know ahead of time there were going to be 7 [...]
Packaging Revamp … 1st stage
It’s a double edges sword for me. While I LOVE , I mean really love cute packaging I also know that my soap packaging probably ends up in the trash, and thus I have trouble designing it. In a perfect world cost wouldn’t matter. I would have some fancy schmancy packaging that didn’t matter how [...]
What I’m Working On … Curtains
Are you tired of my home projects and ready for more soap yet? Sorry you will have to wait a little longer. I’m so pleased with how these little curtains I made to coordinate with Lexi’s Quilt. After being in a dark dreary row home in Baltimore I really hate to cover up the windows [...]
Tuesday’s Tip… Cutting veggies
Once upon a time I had 3 children under the age of 3. Yes I know that makes me a little insane. Even before the third boy came along I knew I needed to be able to cut down my prep time before dinner. I had plenty of time around 10 am to work in [...]
Menu Plan Monday … August
Yes I know most people just post what they are eating that week but well there are many kids in our house and because of the dynamics of a military budget I plan for about a month at a time. I will link to anywhere I can for a recipe though I do tend to [...]
