Ahhhhh! I got the job!!!!

As you all know we have knuckled down and started saving for our land... finally 🤣

I want to contribute to getting our land too so I've applied to a bunch of jobs and signed up for instacart and door dash and skip the dishes.

While I'm still on the waiting list for skip and door dash, I'm set up and waiting for my card for instacart and I got a job with a greenhouse that serves Atlantic Canada 🇨🇦

I'm so excited to start watching our savings grow. I have so many plans for our land including food forests, medicinal gardens, herbal school maybe, summer festivals by local artists 🥰 thank you universe xoxo 😘

We are going to be quite for a couple weeks as we pack and move to a better neighborhood for the kids.

When we get back though get ready, I'm going to have a ton of things going up for sale. I'm going to offer gardening services, more on that later.

Oh and were going to have more space to grow food, which means more food to out away this fall and maybe we even have enough to go to the farm stand.

Be back soon like 14 days ✌🏻

ON HOLD UNTILL WE GET MOVED!

🚨 Prescription Drop Incoming 🚨

I've been working on a new product for the farm stand and I think some of you might need one... 😆

💊 Crochet Chill Pills 💊

Side effects may include:
• Reduced urge to throw your phone across the room
• Increased smiling
• Feeling slightly more emotionally supported by a tiny yarn object

No batteries.
No subscriptions.
No doctor's appointment required.

Just a soft, squishy little friend made one stitch at a time.

They'll be available next weekend in limited quantities, and I have a feeling they won't stick around long.

Question for you:

What kind of Chill Pill do YOU need?

💙 Anxiety Chill Pill
💚 Overthinking Chill Pill
💜 Burnout Chill Pill
🩷 Emotional Support Chill Pill
❤️ I Accidentally Watched The News Chill Pill
🤪 Other (tell me below)

The best answers might inspire future batches...

✨️ Psssst I can tell you right now they are perfect for tossing at your partner when they are in a mood and yelling "here you need a Chill pill" then they laugh and you laugh... problem solved 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My dream home

06/09/2026

Finally got around to using all those dandelion petals.... well half of it. I saved some for the jelly still. But I've infused some olive oil and made a personal batch that I made into a salve for hubby and I.

Going to be available to my local friends through the farm stand soon, end of the month, unless this surprise works out then I might have to push back a couple weeks.

So I'm learning to sew because well it's another skill I can have.... have you seen the state of the world.... anyways, I'm also trying to replace all polyester that's in my closet to cotton and linen and wool as best as I can.

Today I took a cotton bedsheet and made it into a really comfy, airy, flowy house dress. Is it perfect, no. Do I love it anyways, absolutely!

It's going to be crazy hot this weekend and that's just the beginning of the summer heat. This dress is going to be amazing 😍🥰 I'm in love! I want one more with a much lower backline. Maybe a little longer but not much I have to be able to chace the little one lol.
