About Lemonpuss
I am living the dream and staying home to raise my three kids while my wife and I try to renovate our 150 year old farmhouse and keep the grapevines from consuming the house. We are a free-range family, and I spend my days with the kids crafting, gardening, canning fruit, and keeping the peace. Some days I'm lucky enough to fit in a little knitting. (Now with more kindergarten!)Contact me:

What Caving Looks Like
Nights are in the 30s, days are rainy and in the 40s, and I need two duvets on my bed. I’ve caved and turned on the heat. I love our heat source. It cheers my days and make the evenings … Continue reading

Mighty Hunter
Merlin is having a field day with flies, moths, and any rodent stupid enough to breach our perimeter. He is also protecting the family from marauding midnight rolls of toilet paper, area rugs, and pipe cleaners. After a stealth attack … Continue reading
Merlin
We adopted Smokey Joe Wizard Merlin from one of our local SPCAs. I must have talked a good game during the interview because the shelter manager just handed him over with no reference checks or wait period. She asked me … Continue reading
Buddies
My friend and I are trading mornings taking care of each other’s kids. It is so fun having two babies in the house again, even for just a few hours a week. Gotta run – it is full on here!
