Daughters. Plural.

Goodness, it has been a while, hasn’t it? They say everything changes when you have a baby, but I never really comprehended the weight of that statement until I had my own.

Bereavement

Due to an unexpected loss in our family, the shop is currently offline. Completed orders will be shipped out, but no new orders will taken. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we need some time to grieve. Love,

H + J = K

Well, she’s here. Our little bundle of happiness is two months old and the light of my life. After spending five weeks in prelabor, we finally induced on the Ides of March for an otherwise all-natural labor. It was the single most physically agonizing experience of my life.

I did everything: food journals, herbal remedies, GI tests… You name it. I […]

Thank You

Today is my birthday. I thought it would be fitting to write the first post for the new blog, to mark both the milestone of the twenty-six years I’ve spent on this planet, as well as the milestone of a new online home for a brand that’s been many years in the making. I also […]

Why I Went Vegan (And Why I Quit)

I went vegan as a way to cut out foods I thought were making me sick. Several years ago, it seemed like every time I ate I was ill, worse when I ate meat. Going vegan was out of desperation even more than other reasons listed below. It was an experience I am glad I […]
