Two Summer Poems
We know you’ve got your hands full tending your flourishing summer garden — or full of the bountiful, fresh produce from the Farmer’s Market — but take a moment to enjoy these two poems about gardens.
My Garden by Emily Dickinson
New feet within my garden go,
New fingers stir the sod;
A troubadour upon the elm
Betrays the solitude.
New children play upon the green,
New weary sleep below;
And still the pensive spring returns,
And still the…

A baby doll quilt’s smaller size makes a quilt project very doable for an 8-year old. Including piecing the top together and machine-stitching the quilt herself, it took only two afternoons. As her mom, all I had to do was prepare and add the…

Paper Crafting: Small Envelope & Card
Two teenage sisters from our church gave us some thank-you cards they made from a template similar to the one I’ll share here. The little cards were so cute! The girls and I made bunches of envelopes and cards ourselves not too much later. We tucked them in larger envelopes to send away in the mail, or handed them out as-is to folks locally whom we wanted to thank or…

Healthy Slaws
by Wardeh Harmon
I want to give my husband credit for our newest healthy habit. We eat salad every day and have for many years. One day, he got to thinking about some of the healthiest vegetables to consume — the colorful ones, like dark leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots — and wondered how we could include them in a salad that was actually fun to eat. He mused that perhaps…
