A Caregiver Boost

/in , /by

Hiya;

Happy Wednesday! We hope you are doing good, treating yourself well, and enjoying nature. It was cooler in Kansas yesterday so we spent some time outside. Also millions of birds are migrating and they are very vocal. The symphony is delightful. A hawk also brought us great delight by chilling in our backyard Monday. And the full moon made the stars shine bright Monday morning.



With the Heartland Caregiver’s Conference fast approaching,  we are busy plumping up our Hello Caregiving YouTube channel @HelloCaregiving. Over at our Etsy shop, we have been stocking our virtual shelves with more printables that help caregivers keep their loved ones engaged. And yesterday, Delaina released a poetry reading of “As a Caregiver, I Learn to Lie Better,” from the poetry collections Paper Birds on her YouTube channel. She even talks about the value of “compassionate deceptions.”

How are you doing? What has delighted you so far this week?

In love, light, and caregiving,
Delaina and Kristin

Saturday Markets

/in , , /by

Hiya;

We hope your day is going well and you can enjoy the sunshine or whatever your weather is like. We have pale blues skies and it is a warm October day.

We love Saturday’s they are built for small business, farmer’s markets and charity car washes. If we had a stall in a Farmer’s Market today, here are the three things we would be thrilled to share with you.

1. Our anthology Paper Birds is celebrating its 6 month book launch birthday. It is hard to believe that it’s been a half a year since our Paper Birds left the nest. Thank you to you all for your support and helping us make this dream a reality. You have made four poets from two continents very happy.

2. We have been using Norwex products in our home for a decade and now we are consultants. Our favorite Norwex products are: The Mop, Microfiber Kitchen clothes (less paper towels), window cloths, the deodorant, and our soft plush bathrobes. This month we will be testing the face clothes and the laundry soap. We will let your know. 

3. Our Etsy shop has a new spooktacular offering, a Halloween Countdown sheet (two varieties orange or pink). This countdown calendar includes a QR code to Spotify playlist we created full of Vintage Spooky Music from the 1920-40’s with a few exceptions. This playlist is great for the sandwich caregiver household with classics for all ages (‘cause it’s really not that spooky).

When you go to your local Farmer’s Market, which stalls do you stop at first?

Have a great week!

In love, light, and Market Day,
Kristin and Delaina
