We’re not growing strawberries for a big harvest. We’re growing them for one berry we grew and cared for ourselves.
�Sometimes it’s about the joy of watching something grow because you cared for it.

A few flowers already showing up feels like a small victory.

Here’s hoping we get to the berries before the birds and our small dog does.🍓

This little pillowcase trick is the easiest and least messy way to get dried lavender buds off the stem.

We harvest our lavender each July, dry the bundles, and then use the buds in our handmade bath and body creations like shower steamers, bath bombs, soaks and sachets made with clean ingredients and a whole lot of love. 🌿🫶

Save this idea for your next lavender harvest!

If you love lavender, our handmade lavender collection is available now in the Brighten and Bloom shop.

I just learned about this viral seed snail method originally created by

After running out of space and needing to pot up my seedlings, I decided to give it a try.

Everything I am reading is so positive, so here’s hoping my little seedlings will be very happy in their new snails.

I even started a few varieties directly from seed in the snails because once you make one, they are so fun to roll up. 🐌

If you’re concerned about microplastics for any vegetable varieties, I saw suggest wrapping the material in parchment paper first.

That’s what I did, I loved the tight little sushi-roll look of it.

I’ll share how these grow, so follow along. 🌱

Have you tried this method for starting or potting up seedlings?

The habit that can make the biggest difference in your health is often the simplest one.

Walking.

You can do it in the rain, the snow, or the sunshine. You do not need perfect weather or a perfect schedule. You only need to begin and keep going.

As I have gotten older, I have learned consistency matters more than intensity. Step counts can be helpful, but there is no need to obsess over numbers. What matters most is showing up for yourself each day and continuing to move forward.

A daily walk can support your heart health, lift your mood, increase your energy, and create a time for mindfulness.

It is when I listen to podcasts or books, return phone calls, process ideas, catch up with friends and think clearly without distraction.

When you protect this habit with supportive gear and realistic expectations, walking becomes something you look forward to every day.

Do you make walking a regular part of your routine?
