Before I dive into this delicious creamy artichoke and fig pizza, I wanted to share some fun news with you. I’m hosting a free virtual class all about working with natural light in photography, I’ve been shooting with a camera for over 18 years...

These summer days are getting away from me. They’re flying by faster than my teenage self on a highway, and to be honest, I can’t say that I’m very upset about it. This has been the hottest and driest summer on record here in...

It certainly has been a while since I shared an update about the homestead. Now that I look at it, the last time I wrote about it was in the spring of 2020 when we’d planted some saplings out there to diversify the future...

This has been a season filled with highs and lows. I don’t know how to make this easier or soften the blow, so I will just say it as it is. I became pregnant with my first child, and then we lost the baby....

A couple Saturdays ago we drove out to the future homestead site and spent the morning picking wild blackberries. Well, I spent the morning picking blackberries, and Jeremy spent it taking some amazing shots with his old-timey wet plate camera. But I didn’t mind...

I was looking through instagram last week when I came across a beautifully golden forsythia blossom syrup from Colleen Codekas, dotted with yellow blossoms I recognized from a large shrub we have along our driveway. I had no idea it was edible until I...

The daffodils have emerged from their long winter slumber inside our raised beds, signaling to everyone within viewing distance that spring has officially arrived. Early spring is always such a funny time for produce, it’s still too cold for most of the traditional spring...

This was a very, very old post that I originally made back in 2012 (over 9 years ago now), and the years have shown me better ways to make a no-bake cheesecake. This one didn’t have any gelatin in it, so the cheesecake filling...

Time has certainly got away from me these past few weeks. I’ve been working on creating some new additions to my photography course, and that’s been soaking up all my time and creative energy as of late. But it’s nearly wrapped up, and now...
