Pass it Along!
When I started reading about permaculture, I was excited and yet...a little overwhelmed. Overwhelmed, because I knew that in a few months time- we would have saved enough money to finish our backyard. But, a few months was not enough time to know what we wanted to do, and why.
To my surprise, after a google search, I was pleased to find a legit, experienced, permaculture landscaping company right here in Utah! And I want to share it...
If you are interested, here is his website!

We hired him, and would recommend him to others.
Pass it along!

Finished at last!
I passed the MBLEX, the "Comp", and have officially graduated from school!
Aaaaaaaahhhhhh.
That means, I am a Licensed Massage Therapist!
That means, I know what psoriasis is, where bile is stored, which chamber of the heart pumps blood to the lungs, and what really causes a brainfreeze! I know how to manually move lymph fluid, ease edema, and help relax a hypertonic muscle. I know how to work out "knots," and the name the bone and attachment of every muscle in the body. I know the Oriental meridians, and Ayurvedic chakras.That means, I got everything I wanted from my schooling!
I am proud to be an LMT.
And excited to break some of the misconceptions of what that means.
And...this means, after 15 months, we get our nights back!
Yaaaaaaaaahhhhh!
aka: I get to snuggle in bed with Brandon before we drift to sleep.
I get to go to bed by 10:00...or 9:00...or 8:00!!!
I get to put our kids to bed without a nightly "pass-off."
I get to live, practice, and experiment with what I have learned.
I get to someday write down the volumes of thoughts about health that I have had churning.
I get to give a gift that helps ease another's pain.
And love my career.
I get to go into hibernation for awhile.
And start gathering the licensing to work out of my home, when the boys are in school next fall.
I get to dig my toes into the dirt, and take care of our plants this spring!
And enjoy the best summer of our lives (without a thought of homework)!
I want to shower Brandon with gratitude.
Because it would have been absolutely impossible
To complete or even attempt school without his most loyal support.
I am so grateful and happy.

Vietnam Food Forest
Here is the link I have promised some of you!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5ZgzwoQ-ao
"300 year old Food Forest built (in Vietnam) on 2 acres of land and still functioning well in the same family 28 generations later...."
It is so incredible. Can you imagine??
Did this Grow?!
When Benny was two, he was hooked on the question:
"Did this gwow?"
At least 20 times a day.
He held up everything...
The bowl. The apple. His shirt. The sandwich. His train. The blanket, the salamander...
Did it grow?!
Some were obvious. The apple. Yes. The flower. Yep. The tree. Uh, huh. Salamandar. Yes.
The sandwich? Well...technically. The wheat on the sandwich, yes. The spinach. Yes. The cheese...well yes. I mean, the growing cow ate the grass, and "grew" its milk. The chair? Well, that wood once grew. As did paper. The house, for that matter...yes. It grew!
He taught me something.
That plants are involved and connected to almost everything I partake of in my life.
And if it is not a plant, it is likely dependent, at some point,
upon one to exist.
I am grateful for those little dears.
They make the world beautiful. They live. They cleanse. They flavor. And shelter. And texture. And smell. They feed. They sustain. They enliven. They sit in my windowsill,
and cheer my soul.
