  • When friends ask me advice about gardening I often answer by explaining this concept rather poorly. So, if you asked for advice this is the word: Farmscaping. Due to limited size we have to maximize our garden plot each year and my solution was to inter plant with the purpose of drawing in pollinators. My result is a whimsical looking garden. (To others it may look rather unkempt) I like variation but most importantly I love bees and want them to visit. Several weeks ago I took a packet of sunflower seeds (no idea the specific kind) and casually walked our garden areas jamming the seeds in random places. I always focus on the vegetable patch but after that area I really can’t remember where the seeds ended up. I like to call it surprise gardening. I will be pleasantly surprised to see which seeds decided to grow. I suspect many were dug up by squirrels. Which reminds me, I do have another packet to plant. How do you garden? Here and there? Organized plots? Containers? #howdoyougrow #farmscaping #whimsicalgardener #lovethebees

  • I want to take a moment and post about this guy here. This is the Mister. He’s pretty great at providing the necessary amount of nonsense to our family. The resident Dude in a house of gals he has to endure quite a lot of hair balls. We celebrated his birthday yesterday with a simple dinner on the patio followed by his favorite carrot cake. We laughed well past bedtime for the littles and were filled with gratefulness that this guy is in our life. Happy birthday to the Mister! #themister #maybirthday #father #onedudefivechicks

  • I have been blissfully spending this rainy Mother’s Day inside enjoying a slow day of comfort. Some knitting a few books and the TV all to myself. I have been treated with a sweet cheese plate made by the littles and a glass of champagne. So cute these gals are today. #mothersday #slowsunday #girlmom

  • This beautiful person celebrates another birthday of her teen years. Another full week and weekend of events for us. As our time surrounding her birth was nothing short of chaos she arrived silently into this world. While she remains our official family instigator her quiet creative yet reflective personality offers us a delicate balance of stability. Happy birthday Lady O you have become quite a terrific presence in the world. #birthdaycake #maybaby

  • My Morning Routine involves coffee and driving. After the first wave of people are on their way to work, college, and high school I have some coffee and get ready for the day. The second wave of children have to be walked to school and the littlest will be driven to preschool. When the drop off is complete I’ll get around to my second cup of coffee. Sometimes that second cup isn’t happening until lunch time. As it goes in the Mother-hood. Nod to @nocterrabrewing for being my favorite driving around the town hat. It goes well with coffee and, if you live in the Columbus Ohio area, a pint of their many on tap brews. #eyecandygetintheframe #momlife #nocterrabrewingco #truckerhats
