Last week, I took one of my weekly walks where I bring my camera along to capture what nature is doing at the moment.⁣
⁣
The day was sunny and warm, and there was a slight breeze in the air. I could hear my boys laughing as they played in the field, and Charlie, our Aussie, was barking as he played alongside them.⁣
⁣
As I walked toward their sounds, I noticed a single duck paddling around in one of our ponds. I stopped and watched him for a few minutes, thinking about how happy he must be to feel the cool water on his feet and the warm sun on his back.⁣
⁣
When he was finished swimming, he climbed up on a rock, gave himself a hardy shake to remove the remaining water from his back, and began to preen himself so that each of his feathers was perfectly in place. Finally, he spread his wings wide and flapped them wildly in the air as if to show the world just how happy he was to be there at that moment.⁣
⁣
And you know what? I, too, was so happy right there at that moment because it was yet another sign of coming spring, of hope, and of a slow, peaceful moment in my day.

Sending love and light your way, @marleneadelmann,

Sending love and light your way, @marleneadelmann, and lifting you up in much prayer over the next several months! 💛✨

“I want my life to be slow. Slow rhythms. Slow love. Slow food. Slow coffee. Slow dancing. I want this slowness to be the echo of how nature creates deep-rooted beauty from the gentle momentum of a single small seed.” ― Victoria Erikson⁣

Consider the other kingdoms. The trees, for exampl

Consider the other kingdoms. The trees, for example, with their mellow-sounding titles: oak, aspen, willow.⁣
Or the snow, for which the peoples of the north have dozens of words to describe its different arrivals. Or the creatures, with their thick fur, their shy and wordless gaze. Their infallible sense of what their lives are meant to be. Thus the world grows rich, grows wild, and you too, grow rich, grow sweetly wild, as you too were born to be.⁣

It's Saturday, and that means it's time to give the house a good clean!⁣
⁣
Who else does the majority of their cleaning on Saturdays? I know I sure do, particularly during the colder months of the year when we don't have all the outdoor house projects going on.⁣
⁣
@branchbasics is my go-to non-toxic cleaner for pretty much my entire house. It works great, you can scent it with your favorite essential oils, a little goes a LONG way, and it's not harmful to your health.⁣
⁣
As a mama who is teaching her boys how to clean, using non-toxic cleaning supplies as much as possible is important to me, and I'm so thankful Branch Basics helps me do that.⁣
⁣
So, yeah. You'll find me wiping away the grime here and there in the house today before my parents come over to celebrate a very special boy on a very special birthday!⁣
⁣
Cheers, friends, and happy Saturday!

Looking for an easy DIY shaving cream recipe that works well and is good for your skin? If so, I've got one for you to try that I think you'll like. ⁣
⁣
3 Ingredient DIY Shaving Cream⁣
⁣
Ingredients:⁣
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil⁣
3/4 cup organic aloe gel⁣
Essential oils of choice to scent⁣
⁣
Directions:⁣
Combine all ingredients in your magic bullet (any ole blender or immersion blender will work too). Blend on high for 3-5 minutes. The mixture will turn yellow and creamy. Pour in a glass jar, label, and store in the fridge. Use as needed. ⁣
⁣
To Use:⁣
Wait about 10-15 minutes after getting into the shower to shave. Next, pour a small amount out in your hands, slather it on, and then shave away. The razor glides smoothly and those irritating red bumps don’t show up afterward!⁣
⁣
If you end up trying this recipe, and you don't love it, you can do what I do most of the time and simply shave with your conditioner. It works really well too!
