Ah, New York City! Brooklyn! I am here with some of the Taproot team, walking the aisles of the National Stationary Show (and being wowed by all the talent), visiting our stockists and a few of our contributors, and exploring the city. Everything is so much greener here than at home! It's a treat to see so much blooming - and we have plans to head to even greener spots later in our stay. Though I am by no means a city girl and can easily become overwhelmed by the pace and the magnitude of such a place, on this trip I am happily being led around by those know where we're going, and enjoying sinking right on into the energy of this special place with so many beautiful people. Okay, and eating a lot. Like a whole lot. SCRATCHbread grits for breakfast, a visit to Doughnut Plant along the way, and neighborhood dinner at Peaches - with a whole long list of food stops we have yet to make. And on that note, more grits and a walk in the park are calling me now...

Greetings! I'm Amanda Blake Soule - mother of five, author of four books on family creativity, editor & owner of Taproot Magazine. I live with my family in an old farmhouse in Western Maine where we raise animals, grow vegetables and make lots of things. I write about it all here on the blog. Thank you for visiting!
