This past weekend my husband and I visited one of our twins at Bryn Mawr College. Bryn Mawr is also my alma mater, so it's always extra nice to visit my child at college.

How to Become an Urban Homesteader
Thanks to Park Seed for this guest post. Over time, technology and modern conveniences have become essential in our lives.
