Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

No big deal, but I thought I would write down some of the things that have been working in my family. I hope it can be helpful. I am looking for ideas about how to simplify the home, homestead a bit, make life pleasant in general and how to love life even amidst its distressing disguise.

Finding Elegant Simplicity

FWIW...

I love your simplicity post. Very nice.

I stole your idea of using Sharpies to label mugs. Great idea!
