It’s been the week of new life; our garden is starting to grow well (as are the weeds!) and our little farm is bustling with activity.| Wyndelin Farm & Kitchen
The gardening season is upon us full speed. That time when weeds wait for no one and where daily there are seeds or plants needing to get in the ground yesterday. The girls and I went away for a few nights to a friends cottage by the sea and I was lulled into somewhat forgetting the work at home. I’ve quickly remembered though today, our first day home.| Wyndelin Farm & Kitchen
May 1st saw the sun shining brightly and cheerfully for our May day celebration! This has been a long awaited celebration by the girls, especially after reading of the May Day Celebration in the book, More All of A Kind Family. I admit, I love planning parties and I love having lots of friends in our home so I’m a pretty easy one to convince.

Quite a while back I started reading about Forest Kindergarten where early education is spent almost exclusively outdoors.

I love traditions and I love all the festivity around Christmas but this year many things were just too much. So they just didn’t happen. Or they happened late. Or they were modified. More than ever, our girls just want us, our time, our attention, and our affection. All things that I struggle to offer when life feels too full ...| Wyndelin Farm & Kitchen
When I first saw the idea a few years ago of wrapping 25 books as a Christmas countdown, I thought it was so great and wanted to do that with the girls. Fast forward the five years that it took from idea to action and the girls think its absolutely fantastic.| Wyndelin Farm & Kitchen
In a food processor or in the bowl of a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat honey and butter until well combined, scraping the bowl a few times if needed. Add in egg, vanilla and salt, mix well. Mix in the flours and psyllium husk until well combined. I really like using the food processor for this, it mixes up so quickly.| Wyndelin Farm & Kitchen
