Sweet on...

Ah, Valentine's Day! Once a day about sweethearts and lovers, for me Valentine's Day is now very much about spinning a little magic with my kids.

For us it is a burst of warm love in the midst of our coldest (and seeming longest, despite its 28 days) month. To celebrate we had a sweet morning of heart-shaped mochi (cut with a cookie cutter), pink steamers (colored with this awesome natural food coloring that I special ordered from my coop), and some serious Valentine crafting.

So what am I sweet on this February 14th?

These crafty hands and their little man (who, at 6, is referring to himself as "a young teenager"),

and these magical bluebird eyes and the magical Bluebird girl they belong to.

There is also my amazing man (the big, grown up one) who I actually got a date with on Saturday!

Life is sweet.

What is making your heart sing?

Welcome! I'm Rachel Wolf. You'll find me here sharing my thoughts on living a more present and joyful life, despite the chaos swirling around us. I believe in embracing imperfection, living an authentic life, and savoring every drop of these fleeting days.

No, you won't find me feeding into the myth of perfection, but you can count on me to show up real and raw with lessons and beauty that I find in the ordinary.

I'm an interest-led homeschooler of a teen and a ten year old, and the owner of LüSa Organics. Together with my kids and husband Pete I live on a small, scruffy farm in the Wisconsin hills. Kick off your shoes and stay a while!
