Happy December you crazy kids. I love this month, this season. But I haven't always loved it. It can feel rushed and overblown and focused on all the wrong things. It can feel materialistic and fake and full of unrealistic expectations and piles of bills. But it doesn't have to. If you can remember and honor a few words. Presence over presents. Kindness is contagious. Give to those who have less. Slow down and honor the magic. Our wants have been repackaged and sold to us as needs in this growing age of consumerism. But we need little more than shelter, food and love. May your world be filled with warmth and the presence of those you love this holiday season.❄🖤

We saved the very last of the tomatoes from frost last week. They've since turned red but honestly, we're sick of tomatoes. We had a major bumper crop of them this year and I'm over them. So today I'm drying them in the oven and packing them into jars with olive oil. Homemade sundried tomatoes(but in the oven). The ole recipe is linked in bio.

Final yard cleanup happening this weekend. Snagged the last bits of life to dry inside. Enjoying this season of slowing, coming back to self, moving inside, and creating some hygge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I sort of feel like I skipped Fall this year, but I am REALLY feeling the holiday vibes this year. Do I resist the urge? Or just embrace it and be grateful that I'm getting into the holiday spirit for once?

One by one, my plastic things are used up or broken or worn out and need to be retired. It hasn't been hard to replace them with more sustainable options. Toothbrushes, hair brushes, combs, sponges... and now the dish scrubber. I can't wait to use this one! Made of wood and metal, when it's life is done, it will decompose and leave no trace. Make one change at a time. Do just a little bit better. "We don't need a handful of people doing zero-waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly." -Marie Bonneau ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Remember, your money talks. What you buy is who you support!
