So ready to trade in my wool sweaters for my linen So ready to trade in my wool sweaters for my linen sundresses all summer long! ☀️ ready for some warmer weather this week! 

Also, if you spend as much time outdoors as we do, these @blundstoneusa boots have been faithful to me all fall + winter long. Can’t wait to wear them with my dresses in the summer. #hikingmom #larissawears
Have you planted any seeds yet this season? What a Have you planted any seeds yet this season? What are you growing? 🌱 ad

This year we are growing tomatoes, cucumbers, kale, spinach, beans, radishes, and we started a few flower seeds indoors, and they're already sprouting! It's been fun seeing them make progress each day.

This past autumn, I was thinking a lot about this moment as growing our own food is something we are slowly working towards. I've been using the @Vitamix FoodCycler FC-50 all winter long to store away some recycled food scraps to use as fertilizer once we transfer these little seed babies to our raised beds. The FoodCycler takes our everyday food scraps and transforms them into nutrient-dense fertilizer! It stores easily on our counter (just 1 cubic foot) and it's equipped with a carbon filtration system to help eliminate odors. The FoodCycler is also super easy to use and extremely convenient. With our outdoorsy lifestyle, we aren't inside very much during the day, so we run our FoodCycler in the evenings, and when we wake up, we have fresh fertilizer for our garden. Right now, I keep it in stasher bags in our freezer, and now I'll have a jumpstart for both our compost bin in the new house, and for our spring garden!

My baby turned three today. So many mixed emotions My baby turned three today. So many mixed emotions! As her mom, it’s rewarding to see her learn, develop, and grow, and yet it’s so difficult to watch. She will forever be the squishy, snuggly bundle that they laid on my chest three years ago around this very moment. She smiled up at me, I kid you not, on week one and has been smiling ever since. She is still the happiest little soul, and just radiates joy wherever she goes.

She is still nursing... just once a day now and she still consistently makes her way to our bed each night. She runs up to me when she sees a stranger, and reaches for help when she’s hopping from log to log. Still, she can wash her own apple, get herself dressed, and memorizes our recitations at morning time. Growing so fast and still very much a little babe, so I’m going to soak in this year as best I can. I’m so happy that God chose me to be her mommy. 💓
Which linen dress do you like best? 1, 2, or 3? Do Which linen dress do you like best? 1, 2, or 3? Do you own any linen items?

Today on my site I’m sharing four reasons to invest in a linen dress this spring/summer. I also share where I shop for my favorite linen dresses! You can view the post at the link in my bio. ✨ #larissawears
“I’ve come to appreciate the importance of the “I’ve come to appreciate the importance of the many thousands of routine moments in a mother’s life, for it is in these moments that real greatness tends to be taught and caught... it’s the way I respond to my children in everyday moments that gives me the best chance of winning their hearts. If I have integrity and patience in the small moments of life that are so important to my children, and if I approach them with a servant’s heart, then I have a far better chance of influencing them in the larger and more critical issues of life.”
-Sally Clarkson, The Mission of Motherhood.

Who else sees a noticeable difference in your home when you’re able to really focus on your kids needs, big or small? (For me that means sometimes leaving the kitchen untidy to read a book, or choosing to put off work until bedtime to work on a special art project.) 

It’s such a treasure to be with them every day and sometimes I grow weary, but reading @sally.clarkson’s words remind me that the grace and gentleness we show our children doesn’t go unnoticed. As my own children grow into toddlerhood and older babes, I find I really have to focus on this more. These small moments make such a significant impact. ✨ #lichomeschool
“A quiet and modest life brings more joy than a “A quiet and modest life brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant unrest.”
-Albert Einstein 

I’ve really enjoyed the past few weeks as I’m trying NOT to do everything or be everything and instead just focusing on my family. As a type A personality, I can easily get caught in the productivity trap. Anyone else? Doing my best to only say yes to lifegiving things and choosing rest as we ease into a new season. 🌱

Getting as much wear out of my cozy winter knits a Getting as much wear out of my cozy winter knits as I can before spring hits! It was in the 60’s here last week so I had to change into a flannel for the afternoon. Which outfit would you wear? #larissawears
It’s #exploringnaturewithchildren #nestingbirds It’s #exploringnaturewithchildren #nestingbirds week! It’s no secret that we are pretty big bird fans in this household. 🐤 These little yarn birds are a project we did exactly one year ago as part of our #enwcnestingbirdsweek study. We also made this adorable little nest... The girls and I went on a walk and collected moss and twigs and other nesting items and made them into a little nest for their yarn birds with some hot glue. It was a hit and I can’t wait to do it again later today! 😍 I also included a shot of some of our favorite bird books in our own home library. Definitely worth picking up to read year after year. 😍 Do you follow exploring nature with children by @raisinglittleshoots? If not, going to link it in my stories so you can check it out! ✨
Do you seek out friends who are much older than yo Do you seek out friends who are much older than you? I’ve found myself really enjoying conversations with people who are in a completely different season of life than I am, and it’s so comforting. The other day I talked to my neighbor who is a good 30 years older than I am, she has a daughter that’s my age, and yet we chatted about things we are both extremely passionate about. We talked sourdough, cooking, meal planning, and home decor. All topics that were completely universal...and my cup was so full after. I don’t know if it’s me craving extra social interaction after this crazy year or if I’m just a total extravert, but either way, I’m going to make it a point to have more conversations with people I encounter in the future even if I don’t feel like I have the energy. 🙂

    I would probably get a bag by Michael Kors, like the Jet Set Travel Tote in navy or Selma Large TZ Satchel in Luggage. I have had my eyes on them for a while. Kate Spade is also on my wishlist. Their red Daley bag is adorable and the Finishing Touch Polka Dot Bangle Bracelet is a must!!

This year we are growing tomatoes, cucumbers, kale, spinach, beans, radishes, and we started a few flower seeds indoors, and they're already sprouting! It's been fun seeing them make progress each day.

This past autumn, I was thinking a lot about this moment as growing our own food is something we are slowly working towards.

“Given a chance, a child will bring the confusio “Given a chance, a child will bring the confusion of the world to the woods, wash it in the creek, and turn it over to see what lives on the unseen side of that confusion...

In nature, a child finds freedom, fantasy, and privacy; a place distant from the adult world, a separate peace.” 
— Richard Louv, Last Child in the Woods
