About Me
Welcome! I’m Erin, mama to two little kids. I’m a woman of many hats- mother, teacher, toy maker, author, gardener, & crafter, among many other things. Our family lives in Indiana, where we try to make the most of life, which means things can be a bit chaotic at times. Our days are filled with homeschooling, weeding, naps in the striped hammock, and pie baking, of course!-

Frosty
It’s hard to believe that the first frost of the season is here. I won’t lie and pretend I’m too horribly sad. I love the cooler weather that requires a sweater and a warm cup of cider in my favorite mug. There is something satisfying also about seeing my frosty breath on early mornings while [...]
