I want this for my girls. Yet, I only have myself to blame since I am an uber-consumer of Steve Jobs’ shiny new must-have objects. I’m working on changing, though. I’d love for our family to be a non-consumer family that rises above the morass of advertising culture. Raising Minimalist Children in a Society of [...]

Trees of Tov Wa-ra
by Sam Harrelson on 29. Aug, 2010 in Asheville, Family
So far this this weekend, here are the things made from the fruit trees and vines in our yard: – 5 “bottles” of wine that will take 3 years to age and lots of grape juice and wonderful jelly from about 15 pounds of our concord grapes. – More applesauce and apple butter than we [...]
Thoughts On Being 32
by Sam Harrelson on 22. Aug, 2010 in Education, Family, Philosophy, Technology
I turn 32 today. I’m halfway to 64 (will you still love me when I’m 64?).

Google Voice hates my mom’s southern accent: Not even close. Love them both, though.
MH's First Splinter
by Sam Harrelson on 20. Jun, 2010 in Family
Mary Hudson got her first splinter today while we at lunch (at Asheville Pizza and Brewing, which is just fantastic). It was a doozy. Thankfully, someone with us had tweezers (I left my Swiss Army Knife on my keychain which I didn’t have with me). Maybe it was because it is Father’s Day today, but [...]
