You see it in them, don’t you, the children? That quiet weariness that no child should know. That neon static scream of too much, too much, too much behind their eyes. The screaming dark. What can you do to help them endure?

Throwback to when my eldest was somewhere between 1-2 years old and she’d snatch snacks from the pantry while looking like an escaped convict.

Why is @LadyHollowTree screwing meat to a board? Has she lost her mind? Well…

I will never get tired of people sending us photos of our honey, candles, and mugs after unboxing them. 💛💚

We need to be careful here. Look around and you’ll see what I mean. Listen for it. You’ll hear it. A sort of prayer for our own inadequacies as parents, teachers, adults. Maybe kids don’t need “resiliency”. Maybe they need innocence.

It becomes a sort of weird prayer we say when we realize we’ve let children down, that we haven’t protected them well enough. They get exposed to something, some violent media, a traumatic experience, an accident, etc. “Hey, it’s good they’re building their resilience.”

“Resiliency” has been a buzzword for about a decade. I think we’re getting it wrong. “Children need to be more resilient!” we proclaim as they are faced with challenges. We nod. Dealing with challenges successfully is good. It has become a cop-out though.

@OldHollowTree @LadyHollowTree Got my order in the mail. I adore everything about this. Thank you so much! I'd happily mail a bottle return. Can only store so many of these adorable bottles. 😆

Well, we did it. One hundred and eighty six packages packed and shipped out all across the country since our launch on Friday. Thank you for making it such a success. We’re fired up and ready to expand. More honey, more cozy home goods, more family, nature, and tradition.

Call me old-fashioned, but nothing beats a cozy, classic Halloween — some of the new decorations these days are downright terrifying to me 🫣
