Beat the winter blues / prep your garden

A great way to fight against winter blues is to start thinking about your garden this spring! YES you can start planning now. Get out those library books, purchase some of your own and begin. Today's podcast is me detailing how I am doing this in my own life this year and I hope it inspires you to do the same.

Documenting your family (life) in the winter

It's that grey sickly part of winter (at least here in the midwest) that makes you feel sad and a little trapped. This episode is to give you some ideas out of that, by pouring your time and excitement into recognizing and documenting the beauty around you this chilly season. Also note, at the end of this episode I said something about there not being a podcast for two weeks...I just can't read calendars! I was wrong, there will be one this next week!
