The summer sun beats down on the farm as we celebrate a major milestone – the launch of Sunshine Bubbles Podcast after two years of dreaming and planning! We're thrilled to finally share our authentic best-friend conversations with our High Vibe Tribe across all major podcast platforms including Apple, Spotify, and Audible.

Life on the farm during these dog days of summer brings both joy and challenges. We're watching with amusement and patience as our older dog Ruby slowly warms up to puppy Ripley, celebrating small moments of connection between them at the farmer's market beach area. Managing six energetic children while balancing farm work requires creativity and intention – like our attempt at creating a magical experience at the "Mermaid Lagoon" that quickly turned into a mosquito-driven retreat! The sweet victory came when we watched the children independently apply our homemade balm to their bites without complaint, showing how they've embraced our natural lifestyle.

Our farming adventures continue with innovative container gardening for onions and an exciting mushroom cultivation project using six varieties of oyster mushrooms. We're partnering with Field and Forest, a local Wisconsin company, to expand our knowledge of the fascinating fungal kingdom. The process involves soaking straw in hydrated lime, layering it with spawn, and waiting for the magic of mycelium to produce nutrient-dense mushrooms that are "anti-everything" superfoods. Throughout all these experiences – from siesta naps in the grass to drilling drainage holes with an eager five-year-old – we're learning to embrace both the work and wonder of farm life.

The milestone tenth episode of Sunshine and Bubbles' High Vibe Tribe podcast feels like pure summer magic as we celebrate the season while sharing wisdom from our hemp farm. Between wrangling children on summer break and tending to our newly planted chakra garden beds, we're finding moments of pure joy in the simple things – including introducing our newest family member, puppy Ripley!

This episode centers on a beautiful concept we call "spiritual bartering" – the reciprocal exchange of energy that happens when you share your unique gifts with the world. As we reference scripture about using different gifts according to individual grace, we explore how identifying what makes you feel most alive creates an infinity loop of abundance that extends beyond human interaction to include exchanges with the earth itself.

Our plant ally spotlight features wild roses (Rosa Multiflora) currently blooming throughout our farm. These delicate yet thorny beauties offer medicinal benefits including heart-opening properties, improved digestion, and anti-inflammatory effects. We share how to harvest and use rose petals in teas, salads, and hydrosols, plus the vitamin-rich benefits of rose hips that form after blooming.

Farm updates include our thriving hemp plants, particularly the autoflowers already budding just 30 days into their 60-day growth cycle. We're excited about incorporating these beautiful flowers into bouquets at upcoming farmer's markets and festivals. Speaking of which – catch us at Thiensville Farmer's Market on Tuesdays (9am-2pm), West Bend Farmer's Market on Saturdays, and at the Homegrown Music Festival on July 12th where we'll be sharing sound healing experiences!

Summer beckons us outdoors, inviting exploration of the natural world that surrounds us—especially through the curious eyes of children. As school breaks free and routines dissolve, magical opportunities emerge for connecting with plant allies growing right in our own backyards.

The humble plantain (Plantago major) reveals itself as more than a common "weed" but rather a powerful healing companion for inevitable summer scratches, bites and stings. Native legends teach us this resilient plant follows human footprints across the land, spreading its medicine wherever people travel. When crushed into a simple poultice, it immediately soothes inflammation—nature's first aid growing freely underfoot. Meanwhile, red clover blooms alongside motherwort, nettles, dandelion and wild raspberry leaves, each offering distinct healing properties for those willing to identify and harvest them.

Against this botanical backdrop, children voice surprisingly profound concerns about environmental sustainability. "We're the last generation to see fireflies," one young voice observes, connecting garden spraying practices directly to declining insect populations. This ecological awareness emerges naturally when kids engage with the outdoors, discovering connections between human actions and environmental consequences that adults often overlook.

Beyond plant identification, summer creativity flourishes through hands-on projects like crafting herbal refresher sprays with rose water and essential oils. These activities balance screen time with sensory experiences, teaching children they can create rather than merely consume. The mantra "create, don't wait" extends beyond crafting into musical exploration, worship team participation, and even AI-assisted songwriting—all ways young minds express themselves while discovering their unique gifts.

For those seeking accessible plant medicine, community spaces like farmers markets and even local grocery stores now offer hemp-based wellness products alongside traditional foods. This "grocery aisle medicine" approach makes natural remedies more approachable, bridging the gap between conventional shopping habits and alternative health practices.

How will you embrace the natural pharmacy growing in your yard this summer? What conversations might emerge when you invite children to explore the plant world alongside you? The season's greatest gift may be simply time—time to notice, gather, create and connect with both the Earth and each other.
