Stories from someone just fumbling through
This June and July I will be reprising my role as amphibian wrangler in Yellowstone National Park. What does this mean for Sweet Pea's Groceries, for teaching at Jo-Ann's Fabrics, for the Saugerties Farmers Market, for other tabling events, for my Etsy shop, for the brick and mortar stores that carry my products, and for… Continue reading The long and winding road ahead.
In classic Jaime fashion, this is my second attempt at this post due to the fact that my first attempt randomly included a pic of my bright-white, bare legs-- tattoos and all-- for reasons unbeknownst to moi. Sorry if I burned anyones eyes...it's all good. So here we go again... I wanted to do a… Continue reading The secret life of a bubble mailer.
Thanks to all my wonderful friends and customers for giving me one of the best days of my life yesterday at the Cayuga Nature Center's Maple Festival. I haven't felt such love in a long time. It was great being home, eating too much food, drinking too much great beer, holding babies and catching up… Continue reading The perfect Sunday

If you've ever used one of my products and experienced that special feeling one would equate to being sprinkled with fairy dust or gently tapped by the magic wand of a powerful wizard, please know that you are not alone. Unfortunately it's time for me to come clean (no pun intended but...) and finally end… Continue reading That special something is revealed
I recently finished book 1 in The Farseer trilogy: Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb. It was a fantastic read. My brother is sending me the next two and I can't wait to dig in. He says that they are right up there with the Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson--which I think is pure perfection. Needless… Continue reading I ♥ Reading
Sometimes I find myself jealous of my own creations. Today my jealousy comes from making and shipping an order of oreo soaps to the UK. I've always wanted to go there and my unappreciative soaps made it there before me! Maybe I should offer overseas hand-delivery as an added service from now on. Seems like… Continue reading Bon Voyage!
I just sent some samples out to a lovely lady who suddenly found herself suffering from extremely sensitive and dry skin. She has such a graceful way with words that I begged her to let me use her product reviews for my site and she kindly gave in. Here is what the lovely Lauren T.… Continue reading A Rave Review
I've been excitedly looking forward to Laura Emily's Apothecary Circle starting up since I signed up for it back in August. Signing up for the circle was my way of patting myself on the back for working my arse off in 2012. It was going to be my way of making sure that I practice… Continue reading The good & the bad
