    Concussed

    Five weeks ago, Kim fell down the stairs on her way to grab a late-night snack and gave herself a concussion. I heard the tumble from our bedroom and rushed down to find her sitting on the second step from the bottom, cold tea spilt everywhere, with her head in her hands.

But before I get into all things Woo, I’d like to start by saying that this space isn’t going anywhere, so don’t worry 🙂 Ever Growing Farm will continue to grow and I will continue to write about all our adventures as often as possible. I…
