Ever since we moved back to the country I've been feeling a stirring inside me to consume less and create or make more. We got chickens, I've gotten back into baking our own bread and we've cut out eating out during the week. We also have an overabundance of thrift stores and "rummage sales" around here that lend themselves to scouting out amazing...

Growing up in Russia I had the luxury of eating the most...

My "mother's day gift guide" is very simple this year... I just really want/need a nap. With two kids who still don't have sleeping through the night figured out a one hour, heck even a half hour, nap seems like such a luxury.
