Call us crazy, but is it ever too soon to start dreaming of fall? It’s our favorite season at Naure’s Oil and although we are definitely still enjoying the summer fun, we have to admit that we’re already excited by the thought of smelling pumpkin spice, sitting by campfires wrapped in plaid blankets, and making our children pose for pictures in pumpkin […]
Have you ever dreamt of or experienced something so magical that you wish that moment or memory could be captured in time? Maybe it’s even a goal, something you haven’t yet experienced, or a story held in your imagination. I remember summer reading as a child, closing my eyes and allowing my mind to take me to Green Gables to meet […]
With a month still left until the kids (maybe) go back to school, we find ourselves looking for new activities to try or family fun projects that can later double as holiday gifts for the grandparents! We’ve made sidewalk chalk, flower mandalas, and even homemade bubbles. Now left in the final stretch of summer, scratching our head for new inspiration, […]
Summertime holds so many nostalgic feelings. We would will fill the warm days with long bike rides, wind blowing through our hair and sidewalks passing under our tires as if they were a wonder-filled road leading to the next adventure. Poolside slushies that would change the color of our lips, lemons squeezed to highlight our hair, and first kisses stolen […]
The emotions and energy pulsing through our world right now are strong and persistent. Our communities have been navigating an ocean of various waves over these past few months and as we move through the uncharted waters many of us are working to ground ourselves and find a better or new sense of balance and peace. Whether you are looking […]
Mother’s Day as kids felt almost as special for us as it probably did for our moms. The excitement and anticipation of how much she’ll love your handmade tissue paper and pipe-cleaner flower bouquet, painted macaroni necklace, or handprint art could make your heart burst. As we get older and our gift giving becomes slightly more sophisticated, consider surprising the […]
Over the past few weeks, we have all been managing our unprecedented circumstances in different ways. Separately, but also together as whole, we have had to find new ways to live, learn, and cope. Our common ground is obvious but our individual responses are varied far and wide. Some friends are struggling with the daily juggle of working from home, […]
There are so many wonderful ways to describe this time of year: fresh, colorful, invigorating, and renewed, are words that often come to mind. But one word that is not often mentioned is, ‘consistent.’ Spring is so many wondrous, pleasant, and beautiful things, but consistent it is not! Some days we wake up and warm rays of sun dance across […]
It’s been a crazy few weeks as many of us are still adjusting to our temporary “new normal,” however, this week offers us good reason to smile! This is a very special time of year in certain faith and family traditions. Some of us take part in retreats, some prepare and share special foods, and a large number of us […]
This week we won’t sugar coat, but we will most definitely work to find silver linings and make the most of our current climate. Some of us had big spring break plans scheduled, others were looking forward to throwing our children a special themed birthday party. Maybe a few of us were gearing up to visit grandparents or some looking […]
