"If someone said 'Write a sentence about your life' I'd write, 'I want to go outside and play.'" - Jenna Elfman Awhile back I mentioned that one of my all time favorite books was MaryJane’s Ideabook - Cookbook - Lifebook by MaryJane Butters. I also LOVE her magazine. If I could wave my magic wand and give myself a life makeover... I might just have to be the next MaryJane Butters. She rocks! Anyway, a couple months ago I got her latest book called MaryJane's Outpost - Unleashing Your Inner … [Read more...]
3 Of My Favorite Books
My hubby and I were doing a mini re-model project in my office over the weekend. I was pulling books off the upper shelves to clean and prep them for paint and came across a few gems that I absolutely love and wouldn't do without in my personal library.

This Organic Life
I had time this weekend to curl up in a hammock this weekend re-read one of my favorite books. While my kids were splashing around in a small pool I dived into the world of Joan Dye Gussow once again by reading the book This Organic Life Confessions of a Suburban Homesteader. The book opens with a quote by Wendell Berry, who wrote The Gift of Good Land. Might it not be that eating and farming are inseparable concepts that belong together on the farm, not two distinct economic activities as we … [Read more...]
