Parents. We're stressed about the choices we have to make. Back to school? Stay at home? Have to work? Tough choices. But let me try to relieve one part of this burden from your shoulders. Your children's future will not be messed up because of this year or two of un"normal" school. I say this as a parent of a kiddo going into grade 2, having registered him to return to class, watching local Covid numbers daily to see how they're trending, + also putting plans in to place to home school while also working from home.

It's been on my mind more these days as I think about how we're looking to dive even deeper into the realm of simplicity + self-sufficiency. + as I learn, I will share with you. GREEN CLEANING! Why green cleaning, you ask? It lowers your exposure to toxic synthetic chemicals. In most cases [or all, as I've found], it's cheaper.+, most importantly, IMHO, it's easy. Why is this important right now? Well, friends, we're housebound. Job security might not be so secure. Our earth is calling us to do a better job of how we…
