    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…

    ByMary Crozier August 14, 2023August 14, 2023

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier August 4, 2023August 4, 2023

    Is it really the first Saturday in August? I cannot believe some children are already back in school. Are you wanting summer to stretch out or are you ready for fall? I am hanging onto summer, especially as we are enjoying it in the cool mountains of Arizona. It has been a very busy week…
