The Joy of Local

This time of year I look forward to the fresh local produce. Whether I go to a pick-your-own farm or check out a local farmer's market - the chance to not only support local farmers but also enjoy organically grown fruits and veggies is always a win/win.

Crafting and stuff

I reworked my website www.TheArtfulMommy.com in hopes of organizing my creativity and possibly (eventually) making an income from it. I'm not sure if my jewelry will finally sell or I'll start getting more into photography and photo shoots. I may dig out the easel and sell a few paintings - does it count that I gave a few to a friend who offered to buy them because I felt bad taking money for them?

Until I figure THAT part out - the website is started and getting situated.
