Easy Cloth Napkin Tutorial
I have an easy cloth napkin tutorial to share that made our family dinners a little more environmentally friendly! I am a newcomer to sewing. I can’t do fancy things with my sewing machine. I can only sew straight lines, sometimes not even that. I really have no business posting a sewing tutorial, given that...
{this moment}
Inspired by SouleMama: A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see....
Lunch with Papa
**Please note, due to zoning changes in the Main Strasse Village children are no longer allowed to dine at Zola 🙁 But if you have kids in tow you can always carry out from Zola!
Cabin Life
What is cabin life? It is an escape from reality. It is a magical place where the only things that matter are sewing projects, movie watching, book reading, sitting by the fire, new crochet projects, bread making, drawing pictures of robots, eating good food (and drinking good beer), hanging out on the front porch, and...

Watch Me Grow!
It’s been a busy couple of weeks for Henry! On Monday he reached the nine month mark (that’s 75% of a year, and it makes me very very blue that he’s growing soooo fast). But that’s not all! In the past few weeks he has: Learned how to pull himself into a sitting position, Mastered...

Back to Reality
The last few weeks have been rather chaotic around these parts, to say the least. My children’s school festival was this past weekend, and I co-chaired the event with my good friend Amy. We had some crazy fun together putting on this festival, but it was very very time consuming, and energy draining, and maddening...
Bob & Alaska
These are Max’s adored pets. A dog named Bob and a “cat” named Alaska. You might think that the cat looks suspiciously like an Alaskan Huskie. But you would be wrong. It’s a cat. I’ve given up trying to prove otherwise. Alaska the “cat” was a gift to Max from Aunt Tessy on his second birthday,...
