Hi! I’m Anna and I write this newsletter as a way to explore my small part of the world as well as the many ideas and thoughts constantly swirling in my head. It is an honor to send my words and thoughts out into the world so that you can read them. I really appreciate you being here.

When I’m not writing I am mostly at home with my kids. We unschool and I spend a lot of time deschooling and unlearning so many of the conventional approaches to parenting and life that don’t work for my family. In spring, summer, and fall I tend a big garden, watch the honeybees gather nectar, and cook and preserve the fruits and vegetables that I harvest.

Throughout all of this, I am always pondering what it means to be a mother and a feminist, how to support neurodivergent children, how to find fulfillment and feel like I’m enough.

What to expect?

It’s always been hard for me to choose just narrow focus. I know it is more marketable to focus on just one thing, but my life contains variety and that will be reflected in this newsletter. My writing is anchored in a connection with the seasons and a hands on daily life, but I am excited to use this space to explore some bigger ideas that I often ponder.

I suspect that this newsletter will grow and change over time and I will do my best to keep you informed as that happens.
