Feeding Frenzy

Broccoli Before:

Broccoli After:

You can see why we don't let the ladies free range in the veggie garden. There would be nothing left for the humans.

Lavender Bottles

We have lots of lavender in our yard. Lavender is the perfect plant for our dry Utah climate. It's drought tolerant, attracts bees to the yard and has a lovely aroma. After a summertime rain the whole yard smells wonderful! Yesterday I put together some little lavender bottles for the shop so you can enjoy the beauty of lavender all year long.

Roller Derby

This weekend Poopsie and I went to the Roller Derby. The event was fun and entertaining but what struck me the most was sense of female empowerment. It was apparent the minute you walked through the gates. Not just with the players themselves but with every girl in the audience.

In our culture (especially here in conservative Utah) girls are told to sit down, be quiet, be sweet, be pretty, don't yell, lose weight and don't rock the boat. Those rules don't seem to apply with the Roller Derby crowd. Where else can you see a 200 pound girl in black fishnet stockings and a pink tutu! These girls are not afraid to be their authentic selves. It's all about the sport, the sisterhood and not about looking pretty for boys.

Next time we go we'll take our daughters.

Love, Kelly
