Hello!
I've been absent from this space for longer than I'd anticipated. I sincerely hope you are doing well and finding ways to intentionally slow down during the busyness of the holiday season to enjoy and savor the magic that it brings.
Some days it's easier said than done, I get that. It's fairly chaotic around our homestead during this season with the soap business, but I do try to remind myself to take time for enjoying the little things. Some days I'm more successful than others. 😊
During my time away from blogging I've also enjoyed a long break away from social media. I'm still figuring out how I want to fit that back into my life. Additionally, I turned the comments off on the blog so that I didn't have to monitor them (they are back on). Around the homestead I've been crafting, baking, organizing, and getting some to-do's that have been on my calendar for some time checked off. My newest adventure is working with freshly milled flour to create whole grain breads and baked goods.
I'm still not sure exactly how this blog fits into my life, but I hope to figure that out in the first month or two of 2026. I realize that I've struggled with this over the past couple of years. It's a space that I've loved for a long time, so I'm not convinced that I want to give it up, but I'm also not sure how I want to keep it going. I truly appreciate that so many of you have enjoyed what I've written and shared in this space over the course of the past 16 years. (how has it been that long?)
I wanted to take a quick moment to tell you that I'm incredibly grateful for you and to thank you for following along on our homesteading/homemade living journey.
Wishing you the happiest and coziest of holidays!

p.s. Jackson was not at all appreciative of my dressing him up and photographing him, but he's just so handsome. How can I resist???
