Little Moon arrived in March 2013. Each month we share our latest adventures in the land of parenting, Herring style. Herring style is a little crunchy, with a dab of redneck, and dose of Yupik. This includes, but is not limited to: cloth diapering, hunting and babies, advice from our families, getting dirty, reading books, breastfeeding, and minimalist parenting.
Hunting, fishing, farming, foraging, gathering, gardening, jarring, collecting, canning, pickling, plucking, providing, subsisting. We value the ability to provide food for our selves and our families. Join us as we navigate the land and the seasons to put food on the table.
Life is a vast and complex place - full of options, opportunities and challenges. When it gets all too overwhelming, Katie reminds herself to look down and focus on the small and lovely details that make life so sweet. These biweekly posts will feature five little details observed and collected through photography.
We all are surrounded by amazing people with inspiring stories. Each month we will introduce you to two people who inspire us to live lives our 15 year-old-selves would be proud of.
Coming Soon!
