because we like the "little things"... (By Laura)

So we have been doing lots of making of things.  The girls and I made a rubber egg over the past few days with vinegar, an egg and a jar.  Remember that experiment?  Fun!

We've been making chai, as you know, and (a family favourite:) kale chips....

(YUM!)

...and caramel apple cider (so delicious!)...

And Ryan has made, once again, his famous home made yogurt.  How I love it.  Yum!  

This is all a part of the change.  It's not just about a smaller home.  It's not just about less stuff.  It's about enjoying the simple, enjoyable things in life - having the space the enjoy it!  Having the time and the moments to enjoy it!  Even though life has been hectic over the past while, we are carving out space for these things, and it makes all the difference.  

Here are some recipes fer y'all.
