Cucumber Agua Fresca with Lemon and Mint Recipe
Sorry y’all, I had a more intense, deep, and thought out post planned for you today, but I had a rough day today, found out that a friend of mine just died out of the blue, and I really wasn’t in the proper headspace to be writing that post, because when I write it, I […]
Homemade Vegan Parmesan Cheese Recipe

Garden Envy, and a Potato Growing Experiment
I have garden envy. Or maybe farm envy. Or homesteading envy. Not exactly how sure I’d define that. But back to that in a moment. In our old apartment, back when we had a yard, we experimented growing potatoes. A potato, in fact, and we didn’t follow instructions so well, didn’t do everything we should […]
Homemade Diaper Rash Cream and Hand Lotion
Imagine not needing to buy anything expensive from the pharmacy, and still be able to treat your baby’s diaper rash. Imagine having a good, soothing hand cream to use on your dry, chapped hands.
