HeyJaredGrowing Season
I like to grow things (mostly food), and in the process, I experience a lot of growth as a woman on this earth. Here are my thoughts on the wisdom in the soil.

An Ordinary Morning of Note (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One question I get asked quite often by many different people in my life is: “What does a typical day look like for you?”. I get it. My life isn’t common, and people wonder what the heck I get up to all day since I don’t go to a normal job (anymore). The truth is that my daily life drastically changes depending on the time of year. I shared a typical morning from early Summer, and I’m going to continue each season. Obviously, things change day by day. The jobs change, the obligations change. I c

Life Update: Summer Highs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s already after mid-July, and my kids’ two-month summer break is almost halfway over. It’s been a gift to have them home with me. It always is.

As you know, if you’ve been reading here for a while, this year has
