Harvest Time Week Three – The Rusty, Trusty Tractor I don’t have any notes from our week yet. We had our big Alpaca field trip on Monday then we all got sick. We all have a nasty cold around here and just doing the bare minimum to get by. Poor Pixie sounds terrible… …
{this moment} – A Friday ritual began by Amanda at Soule Mama. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment you want to pause, savor and remember. Have a lovely weekend everyone ~ Michelle and Kimara
Butter Battle 2010 The Boy is 2 and 0 going up against the Kitchen Aid in the Butter Battle. For Week Two of the Harvest Unit our weekly activity was making fresh, homemade butter. We like to turn it into a contest… boy verses machine. Well the girls actually started the butter battle but just …
I got a new camera! Very exciting! My older camera (and will still be used camera) was fine but I found myself fighting with it. (I do love that my older camera takes videos… very important with a couple little dancers in our family). But now my mom and I both have the exact same cameras. …
This is a project that started this summer when I wanted to make my SIL a cute knit hat for their due-soon baby. I made hers, which turned out adorable, and of course Pixie wanted one. So I sized up the pattern and made a matching one for her in the same cotton ease yarn. Well …

After several days (or was it weeks?) of miserable heat and humidity that was making everyone cranky, the weather broke and we are now free to enjoy being outdoors again. We’ve spent hours outside in the last few days making up for lost time. Although Pixie loves being outside, she can’t go long without …
Last week we dusted off some of our books, pushed aside the stacks of papers I never got a chance to organize from last year and dove into a new school year. Although I didn’t feel totally prepared myself (our library needs some serious purging and reorganizing), the kids were ready for their routine to …
This project started off on a whim. I was at my mom’s and had forgotten my knitting bag at home. What to do while enjoying a cup of coffee while the kids played? I raided my mom’s stash of felt-able wool and came up with this cute little pouch. I was originally intending it …
