Andrea Borsvold: The joy of books stacked sky high (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As I do a little fall cleaning, organizing and decluttering, I’m amazed at how many nooks and crannies hold books in our house. Each kid has their own bookshelf, a few favorite books in their side tables, and library books mostly in their set spot (as to not lose them before returning). The same goes for my husband and me — we have the whole back wall of the living room lined with 4-foot-tall bookshelves, each full and overflowing. The dream is an entire library wall, floor to ceiling, but who n
Andrea Borsvold: Back to school also means getting back into a rhythm (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We are a month into our school year and our fourth year of home-schooling. It was not a strong academic month, but four weeks of adjusting from the loose summer schedule (if you can call it that), to a more rhythmic predictability to our days and weeks. The beauty of home-schooling is that we get to choose what that rhythm looks like and where it might change year to year or month to month. Priorities sometimes change. Even our school room changed in our house this year. But it’s all for the bet
Andrea Borsvold: The garden offers some late-summer lessons (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have kind of hit that lull in the garden season, where I’ve put in so many hours of care and while the harvest is still coming in, the garden just feels like one more chore. I get to this stage every summer, where I sometimes forget to water things and weeding is a thing of the past. I try to harvest every other day, but at least get my eyes on the plants each day. The garlic is cured, trimmed and put into dry storage. The onions are ready to be braided and stored. Apples are coming in from va
Andrea Borsvold: I'm opting out of endless consumer cycles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We as consumers are being trapped into subscriptions and endless rentals, sometimes for features on products we already purchased. And the control has reached the point where businesses can remotely disable features or use of your property when you choose to opt-out of the eternal payments and use what they already have or find a cheaper option. These financial shackles are not only costing us our hard-earned money, but also trading our freedom of ownership for digital feudalism. Let me explain
Andrea Borsvold: We're savoring these final days of summer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m in complete denial that summer is soon to be over, but as the garden harvest starts rolling in, I know that to be entirely true. We are thoroughly enjoying the cooler days, with windows open to let the house breathe, and sweatshirts becoming regular morning attire. We are cool-weather people, through and through, so we are elated. But we’re not done having summer fun yet. We just discovered how amazing the closest outdoor pool to us is, so we’re going back at least one more time before they
