09/29/2022

This family was out geocaching for the Warren County Geocaching Amphibian Adventure when they spotted a little tan frog. They remembered reading about them on one of their earlier Geocache cards and were able to identify it as a spring peeper from the telltale "X" on its back! How fun to recognize amphibians from the geocache cards while finding more of them! Thank you for sharing with us.

Don't forget, the Warren County Geocaching Amphibian Adventure runs through the end of October so if you haven't completed your Adventure, think about what parks you might need to hit still!

Turkey Trot on out to the Warren County Conservation and Annett Nature Center Fall Nature Market at Middleswart Lodge near Annett Nature Center today from 5-8. Lots of great vendors! I will have decorated cookies in various sizes (and a few pumpkin spice flavored too) and also Paint your owns. https://facebook.com/events/s/fall-nature-market/1184961672371468/

Any extras I will post to page later this week 🦃

Design by

In addition to my classic sugar cookie flavor this market I will also have some pumpkin spice flavor decorated cookies too. But don’t worry plenty of classic sugars to go around!

How much Cool Whip do you like on your pumpkin pie? I just noticed my pie cookies will have a variety 🤣

I will be at Warren County Conservation and Annett Nature Center Fall Nature Market this Thursday from 5-8 with Thanksgiving/Fall cookies. Everything is heat sealed so will still be fresh for your holiday get togethers. More info on pictures or link https://facebook.com/events/s/fall-nature-market/1184961672371468/

Hey friends! Find me along with some of my favorite local makers and bakers Thurs at Warren County Conservation and Annett Nature Center Middleswart Lodge from 5-8pm, just south of Indianola.

My space is limited, so let me know what you want me to bring! 🖤Kristin

Thanks again to everyone that braved the cold Saturday! Some things went quickly so I am baking and decorating a few more for Thursday…because I’m a people pleaser 🤣

There will be Thanksgiving/Fall regular and mini packs of decorated cookies, along with paint your owns. And bonus even a few pumpkin spice flavored cookies as well!

Hope to see you Thursday from 5-8 at Warren County Conservation and Annett Nature Center Fall Nature Market at Middleswart Lodge . More info on link or the pictures on this post https://facebook.com/events/s/fall-nature-market/1184961672371468/

Any extras I will either post to my page or do a popup sometime in my cookie house TBD - will post more info later this week.

Turkeys and pumpkin pies and lots of minis oh my!!!

Full disclosure I am a bit of a hot mess when it comes to deciding designs, sizes and how many to make for events/popups. I basically make a bunch of dough, grab some cutters and see what happens. For Halloween I barely made any minis and didn’t notice until I set up and the few I brought were gone in minutes.

For Thanksgiving I apparently am doing the opposite…I have a crazy amount of minis 🤣 So if minis are your jam I can hook you up. Don’t worry I still will also have regular singles and paint your owns as well. Most everything will be Thanksgiving/Fall themed. After these two events I will post an update on any extras.

First up is the Holiday Market at Speckled Hen Farms Iowa Winterset this Saturday 10-4 https://facebook.com/events/s/holiday-market-on-the-farm/1088556868690096/

Next Thursday will be the Fall Nature Market at Warren County Conservation and Annett Nature Center Indianola at Middleswart Lodge 5-8. https://facebook.com/events/s/fall-nature-market/1184961672371468/

After this it will be Christmas cookie time! I am doing some local Xmas events and also hope to have some popups at my cookie house as well…more to come.

Fat little turkey design from sugarcravings

I figured I way over baked and would have an impromptu cookie popup in the cookie house tomorrow. Instead you guys showed up and bought everything 🤯 Making notes for Halloween 2023 (make more next year, sorry to those who missed out 🥹) I love doing popups/events but trickiest part is figuring out what people like and how much to bring.

Thanks again to all you spooky people who stopped by. Looking ahead to Thanksgiving I have two events with info links below. I hope to also have something in the cookie house prior to Turkey day but no promises at this point 😊

Yesterday was such a wonderful day filled with many moments of peace, joy, and deep rest. The Warren County Conservation and Annett Nature Center is such a healing place and I’m grateful to host a fall retreat here every October.

Yesterday was my 6th year hosting Practice on the Prairie: A Wholehearted Retreat. This retreat once again sold out. Mother Earth blessed us with the most gorgeous fall day.

These wonderful women came together to nourish their bodies, minds, and spirits and gathered in community with courage, compassion, and meaningful connection. 💞

As we continue moving through the season of Autumn, may we remember that we are not in nature, we are nature. We can let go of behaviors, thoughts, and feelings that no longer serve us (like the leaves of a tree) and move forward with gratitude and a sense of starting anew. 🍁

• hollyhock blooms on our century farm •

Last year, I did a Propagation Workshop at the Warren County Conservation and Annett Nature Center. It was one of my favorite classes. Guests learned different methods of propagation then left with many plant starts and even seeds!

I showed them how to collect/harvest seeds from Hollyhocks. They are a plant that propagates naturally with seeds - via wind and rain.
I have many left if anyone would like to get some at one of my next events.
These seeds come from Hollyhocks in a variety of colors, from my family’s Century Farm!
Sometimes we have some volunteer Hollyhocks pop up in the cow pasture - pretty to see!

I’m curious, if you attend this workshop, and planted the seeds - are they growing? Tag 1 OAK in a photo!

That's a wrap!

5 years ago the Central Iowa Trek the Parks Challenge started with a super basic idea and goal to get families outdoors more. As I was filtering through all the submissions and seeing the pictures, I got teary-eyed. I LOVE seeing the mamas holding their babies, kids getting dirty + laughing, and watching you explore local communities while supporting local businesses.

THIS is the goal and I thank you for making it a success each year.

Huge thanks to all the sponsors + donors who support this challenge. It would not be possible without you!
