Hey there, I thought it was time to look back at a few posts and share some updates with you. Today’s post includes a success, a failure, and a modification. The Failure : I made a space for native bees, and they never came! I was really bummed, because I was so excited to have […]
Lemon is our ingredient of the season! So far we’ve used it in a buckle, in bars, in a savory pasta, and in the shower. Oh, and there are a couple of lemon popsicle recipes! This is also one of our many essential oil posts. Hands down, one of our favorite perks at the beach is the outdoor shower. We love […]
Today we mention the use of essential oils to deter moths. If you’re interested in more essential oil posts, check out our archive. It’s also National Moth Week! Want to know the difference between moths and butterflies? While we love moths and try to live in harmony with nature, there’s something we just can’t come […]
On the first (or second!) Wednesday of each month we like to pause and take a look at what’s going on in the world around us, with a particular focus on animal activity, farmers’ fields, and environmental holidays. Ahhh, we love July! We are well into summer, yet have quite a bit to go. Both […]

This is part of our ongoing series on using essential oils for home and body care. You can see our archive of essential oil posts here. We’re celebrating Pollinator Week around here with a series of pollinator-related posts. When you grab a bottle of bug spray, I’m guessing that “pollinator” is not the first word […]
