I am so delighted with this book! Finally Jenna has come out with something like a sequel to Made From Scratch. Her other books are great resources and lovely contemplations, but this collection of witty and perceptive essays is what I have been waiting for.

As a longtime blog reader and fan of Cold Antler, I was familiar with the bones of her story, but I appreciate deeply the more fleshed-out work. The punk chicks/art school made me laugh out loud, and shearing/church essay might be my favorite, but the whole collection is moving and solid work. ( )

I wish I could think of something more to say than "meh," but this book just didn't have much in it. ( )

A great read and well written. I find Jenna's style to be both engaging, entertaining and informative. The life she writes about it one that makes me crave the world of a scrappy farm.
I'm excited to be able to at least out into practice some of the activities Jenna calls normal life when we embark on our farm life by renting some land with a a house. ( )
