  • Bohemian Brights Etsy Shop Update

    Hey friends! I have been collecting some really wonderful multicolored and rainbow treasures that I just updated into my etsy shop! The brighter objects have sold faster in the past, so if you see something you love, grab it before it’s gone!

  • Spring Mill State Park

    My ideal adventure or vacation includes: something natural, something historical and something fancy. Today we unlocked that achievement by packing a picnic and taking the kids to the pioneer village at Spring Mill State Park!! I love this place! We usually visit once a year (see baby Felix in previous visits here) to watch the…

  • Throwback Thursday | Dot + Red

    Since I’m all in on the family history research these days, I thought I’d do a Throwback Thursday post with some of my grandparent’s, Dorothy and Walter (who’s nicknames were Dot and Red) wedding photos! If you think I get a kick out of finding old genealogy lines, imagine how much I love seeing these old…

  • Plantain Foraging for Springtime Allergy Relief?

    Last week I was picking up our package of bees from a local guy, Joe May, who’s sort of famous amongst bee keepers and gardeners (he’s got 100s of hives in his back yard plus over a hundred varieties of apple trees!)  While showing us a hive he split (sans any protective gear!) one bee…

  • Throwback Thursday | Eva Fisher

    In the past week I have been on a roller coaster ride of discovering lords and ladies, kings and queens, pilgrims and patriots – my epic family tree! Going into the process, I thought I knew a lot. Meaning I could get back to the early 1800s on my dad’s side of the family and…

  • Mother’s Day 2018

    Adam asked me what I wanted to do on Mother’s Day and I said shoot some photos with the kids and as a family so that’s what we did! These are already off to the printer and I can’t wait to get them in frames and on my walls. What a lucky woman I am…

  • Strawberry + Rainbows

    Ice cream date with Felix in Brown County. He is fiercely loyal to strawberry ice cream with rainbow sprinkles on top. Once finished he says “Mom, I could just fall asleep in a cloud right now…” 

  • A Walk Down Memory Lane

    CHECK out this old timey photo including my paternal grandfather Walter (bottom right). He was the youngest son in the family and only to inherit his father’s copper locks, earning him the nickname “Red”. We see a little strawberry in our blonde Beatrix!  Last Sunday morning, I woke up to a comment on my blog…

  • Sweet Violet Foraging

    A sure sign of spring is a yard covered in bright and cheerful sweet violets! We have loads of them and have been out picking batches for about two weeks. They’re not only edible but medicinal too. They can be eaten raw and have a subtle spicy or peppery flavor. I’d say it’s on the…

  • Notes from the Field | 007

    I told myself I wanted to sit down and write more, but every time I turn around it seems like another week has gone by and I haven’t made it much of a priority. Which is actually alright with me, because I’ve been doing a lot of fun things around the house and outdoors, spending…
