{life with a curious and crazy 12 yr old} What has been going on in this crazy little brain lately? Eyebrow waggling, (bad) jokes, swimming in her new little yard pool, drawing dogs and dresses, decorating eggs for Dan (that’s Captain Underpants, by the way), rocking out with her headphones, reading good books (What IsContinue reading “Duendesday: Crazy All Over”

Recipe Thursday: Bread Book – Yankee Muffuletta

My daily work focuses on this cultural and natural emergency swing so my homestead workContinue reading “Tuesday’s List of Happenings and Things 2 Do”
Monday’s Muse
Who Said It Was Simple ~ Audre Lorde There are so many roots to the tree of anger that sometimes the branches shatter before they bear.
