    Living Simply and Efficiently

    ByMary Crozier August 15, 2023August 14, 2023

    I recently purchased a new book, Simply Living Well by Julia Watkins. This hard cover book is a guide to creating a natural, low-waste home. The book is filled with great ideas and recipes on how to reduce what you consume and throw away. But it got me thinking about how we live. What are…

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier April 7, 2023April 8, 2023

    Happy Easter weekend! I love this time of year and have such happy memories of this holiday. Dad would buy us corsages to pin on our new spring coats.
