The “ish” in Healthy-ish might actually be the most important part.
Because healthy isn’t perfect.
The “ish” is the learning.
It’s questioning.
It’s paying attention.
It’s making better choices when we can.
It’s growing some of our food while still buying plenty of it.
It’s cooking from scratch most often, but not feeling guilty when we don’t.
It’s moving our bodies because they deserve to move, and resting them because they deserve that too.
It’s caring about what we eat without making food a source of guilt or shame.
It’s changing one thing at a time instead of trying to overhaul our entire lives overnight.
It’s understanding that what works for one person might not work for another.
It’s getting something wrong, learning something new and changing our minds.
It’s mindset.
Gratitude.
Curiosity.
Balance.
Accountability.
And slow, sustainable change.
It’s knowing there will always be another thing to learn, another skill to build, another habit we could improve.
And being completely okay with that.
We don’t want Healthy-ish to make anyone feel like they aren’t doing enough.
We want it to remind people how much they can do.
Grow one tomato.
Cook one more meal at home.
Learn where your food comes from.
Read one label.
Plant something for the pollinators.
Spend more time outside.
Ask more questions.
Change one habit.
Then maybe change another.
There is no finish line where you finally become “healthy.”
We’re just trying to live a little better, understand a little more, and take better care of ourselves and the little piece of the world around us.
That’s the “ish.”
And honestly, we just think there’s a whole lot of freedom in it. 💛
Alright, we're burning daylight.
Let's see how much ground we can cover tonight!
Our first garden plot is officially ready for cardboard and compost!
But we decided to check the soil in one last area.
Just beyond the cedars....
It’s been growing wild for years, with roots working through the ground and each season’s growth breaking down where it falls. Nature’s been tending this spot long before we arrived, and it looks like lovely fertile soil!!!!

🎶 And I have read the golden seal
That tells of how the seedlings feel
Reminds my heart what love can yield 🎶
We didn't just score free horse manure.
This stuff has been aging for 20 years and has practically turned into beautiful, rich soil. And it's absolutely crawling with worms!
Just look at all that life! 🤩
There’s something especially beautiful about the first frost this year.
For the first time, it doesn’t mean packing up and heading back to the city. This time, we get to stay.
We will get to watch the seasons change and winter settle in all around us.
Good Sunday morning!!!
We are finally waking up to our first real frost this morning! It's beautiful, twinkling in the porch light!
It looks like we're in for a lovely, clear and crisp autumn day.
Hope you all have a peaceful Sunday full of little moments worth appreciating 💛
What a productive and satisfying day! We've been busy from start to finish, and it feels good to finally put our feet up.
We hope you've all had a wonderful day and get some good rest tonight.
Goodnight from us 💛
Awww, we got matching blisters!
Same hand, same spots and everything!
Sometimes quality time looks like shoveling shit together! 💛
What's for dinner, friends?!
We're having a late dinner tonight!
Cheese and cucumber sandwiches with some leftover roast beef pulled from the freezer.
Quick and easy after spending an hour shoveling manure!
When an ad pops for free aged horse manure, you load up the shovels, pull on your rubbers, and go get yourself some free poop!
Marge is all tucked in under her mushroom cap once again.
To bring her back to life I use equal parts dehydrated starter to water, followed by lots of mashing and stirring!
Once the flakes are rehydrated (which can take up to an hour), give a first feeding, followed by regular feedings! It's that simple!
It can take a few days, sometimes up to a week of regular feedings, for a dehydrated starter to become fully active again.
