Herbal and Orchard Garland
I call this my Herbal and Orchard Garland. It beautifully weaves together my love for gardening, herbalism, and home décor. The herbs I used here were grown from seed in my greenhouse and garden and were added to the garland fresh alongside dried fruit from our small orchard. This garland is multifunctional and can be used year-round to decorate your mantle, window frames, banisters, chicken coops and barn doors. It can also added to a fresh evergreen holiday wreath or Christmas tree! -

I thought it would be nice to share some of the subtleties that I believe give our home that cozy, calming comfy hygge feeling. -
Slow Living through the Seasons
Slow living. It’s a term that’s become increasingly popular over the last decade. But what does it really mean and how does one achieve it? And is it really all it’s cracked up to be?

Slow Living, Loaf by Loaf
In March 2020, our state shut down. Our schools closed, my photography business screeched to a halt and my husband began working full-time at home. There are a lot of mixed emotions that came with this shutdown. But we were grateful for our new home and land to stretch out. In fact, I couldn’t imagine a better place to call home during these times. As a way of channeling my anxiety and worry into something positive, I did what many of us did and jumped on the sourdough train! -
