Our Annual Garden Lineup {2025}

May 18, 2025 by Claire Leave a Comment

I had a request to share what we’re growing in our garden this year, so here it is! Everything we’ve planted and hope to plant this year in our backyard.

Last year we had some big garden successes: strawberries, zucchini, tomatoes, and putting in a lot of perennial flowers and herbs that my mom gave us from her garden. We have a row of hostas in front of our house now, and a big bed of lilies and phlox in the backyard. We also have oregano and chives that are coming back in our raised beds. Hooray for perennials! Less work and money :)… Read More »

Dreaming of an Unhurried Life

May 4, 2025 by Claire Leave a Comment

Blergh. Every time I sit down to write over the past few weeks, I get partway through the post, run out of steam, and save the draft for another time. It’s not that I’m picking topics I don’t want to write about–they’re just not on the top of my mind right now. And with everything else happening at the moment, I seem only capable of writing about what I’m currently mulling over.

So I’ll do that, I guess!… Read More »

A Brief Update + Thoughts on Busyness

April 27, 2025 by Claire Leave a Comment

Hello, friends. No, I haven’t fallen off the face of the planet. Nor am I pregnant, sick (well, I have a head cold at the moment but that isn’t the reason I haven’t been blogging), or shutting down the blog.

It’s just kind of been one thing after the other since the end of March. We had a packed spring break with playdates, doctor’s appointments and the general chaos of four kids at home for a week. Then K, C, and I started a new toddler-and-me class, Eric’s parents came to visit and suddenly it was Easter. Now we’re staring down the end of the school year–so many festivities!–and summer camps, more holidays and family birthdays, and getting our garden up and running.… Read More »

Two Months Without Instagram

April 9, 2025 by Claire Leave a Comment

It’s been over two months since I (somewhat spontaneously) deleted my Instagram account. I’d been thinking about it for over a year, and one day I just went through with it. Annoyingly, Instagram doesn’t permanently delete your account for an entire month in case you change your mind–but February 22nd came and went and finally my account was gone for good.… Read More »

Nourishing Recipes to Cook This Spring

April 1, 2025 by Claire Leave a Comment

Spring is a temperamental season in Minnesota. Last week it was in the 70s–today we took a walk in the 30s with snow blowing in our faces. Brrr. As such, “spring food” is not exactly radishes, greens, and strawberries for us. More like a continuation of cozy winter fare and working our way through our freezer/pantry garden larder.

I did not growing up eating nose-to-tail but as an adult, I’m learning to cook different cuts of meats for our family that are both healthier than just chicken breast (due to nutrition from the connective tissue and bones) and also more economical. The higher cost of living has motivated me to be more adventurous than usual this year!… Read More »
