Will My Kids Fall Behind? (And Other Homeschooling Questions)

I've never been this excited to get back to homeschooling... I'm in year five of this homeschool gig, so it's not exactly a novelty anymore. Yet I've found myself literally counting down the days until we're back to the books next week. What a weirdo. Is it because I redid our school room and I can't wait to sit on the new rug and drink my coffee in there? Maybe. Is it because we're doing a deep dive into American history ...Continue Reading

My Favorite Ways to Preserve Food at Home

And the topic of ...Continue Reading

How to Make Milk Kefir

I never thought I'd have to set up "territories" on my kitchen counters. The crock of continuous brew kombucha occupies the east end of the kitchen island, the sourdough starter lives in between the sink and stove, and the occasional fermented veggies (like sauerkraut) reside near the overflowing egg bowl. And now, there's a new member joining the club:  KEFIR. I've been aware of kefir for a long time, but always figured I had ...Continue Reading
