Thank you! Yes! The price might be slightly different due to shipping costs (you can inquire via the online form on the print subscription link). I think you wold LOVE it, Ruth!
I know I would! Would also love one of those mugs...Hmm, will need to see about shipping. I once ordered a single small volume for a curriculum in the US and they charged me 40$ in shipping!
The mugs are pretty awesome. I have all three styles, lucky me!
Why don't you just fill out the form on the website -- it doesn't take any payment info at that point, so you wouldn't be actually signing up to pay, just inquiring about what the cost would be. Rates for outside the US vary because the shipping is different depending on the location, so that's the best way to figure it out.
I followed your suggestion, just to see the pricing, but it sent me the authentication link for premium access....afraid to click this in case I commit myself to payment before knowing how much it is :)
Don't worry. I'll let our EIC know that you have not yet committed, and I'll ask him to be in touch with pricing info. I'll CC you. Sorry for any confusion! We're still working out some of our processes.
I loved the print edition of Hearth & Field so much! It's been a treat having it on my bedside table to read before bed. I especially loved your article on Talking to Strangers. Thanks for all your hard work on it!
I’ll be continuing my homeschool planning this weekend! I actually really enjoy the planning stage because everything on paper works out so well. Reality is much…messier 😂
There is definitely something comforting about it. Schedules work so well on paper...ha! I enjoy it, too, but I think I'm feeling daunted by the reality that homeschooling will be taking a great deal of time each day this year. But I know it will work itself out and that it will be really good to start school again!
Oh I loved Serena's piece, and found it entirely aligned with my own thoughts about the unfortunate dichotomy we often find in medical/prenatal/birth care. Have had the other pieces from Ivana and Nadya saved for when I can get to them. (We also buy a lot of scotch tape! haha)
I really enjoyed the pieces by Nadya and Ivana. I found Ivana's particularly interesting because it seems to be written in response to a cultural chorus of "just outsource everything!" but I've spent a lot of time in cultures where the voices hiss, "don't you DARE outsource anything; if you do, you're a terrible wife / mother" - and so the emphasis needs to be a bit different. I was glad that she pointed out there is nothing wrong with outsourcing when needed, and frozen pizza is fine! My other observation is that I think outsourcing becomes more normal when "the village" is no longer around. I'm sure plenty of experienced aunts and grandmothers helped potty train the toddlers of many a household in history - but extended family and villages are now replaced by paid task-rabbit folks in many ways. (Actually, that makes me wonder if we're in a modern version of wealthy families having servants that do the tasks? Private chefs instead of Cook living downstairs? A cleaner instead of a "char woman"?)
Isn't it funny how it really goes in both ways? I agree that there are subcultures in which the emphasis goes to the extreme in one way or the other. But I have yet to meet the subculture in which there is support for both hard work and stewardship and mutual support. Except perhaps in some individual extended families?
That's a fascinating comment about outsourcing instead of servants, too.
“I have yet to meet the subculture in which there is support for both hard work and stewardship and mutual support.” Yeah. I think this balance is really really hard to find. I might say that it’s more common in the UK? I’m not sure my experience is wide enough to know, but certainly it is much more common for mothers to work full or part time (often due to tax factors, which we’ve talked about before. )
Yes, I am still thinking about what you said in our last conversation about mothers and making money. There do seem to be different mores in the UK about both earning/work and about support. I'm curious to talk more! And I owe you an e-mail! It's been a crazy few days at my house...
(Actually, that makes me wonder if we're in a modern version of wealthy families having servants that do the tasks? Private chefs instead of Cook living downstairs? A cleaner instead of a "char woman"?)
I have thought this too. After all, the wealthy have outsourced...forever. Thinking through history, most cultures had an elite class that had a lot done for them.
People always make jokes about how moms hide chocolate, but the real treasure is the hidden stash of tape, scissors, and staplers! I'll take that Lindt bar and raise you a three-hole-puncher!
That print edition of Hearth and Field looks heavenly! Do you ship to Canada? I might add it to my birthday wishlist this year :)

Sorry to trouble you with administrivia.... Thanks for helping out :)
$40 shipping for one little book is highway robbery!!
Congratulations on the print launch! How exciting, and it looks great!
Thank you!
Weekend plan is REST after teaching Faith at our parish VBS this past week :)
That sounds like a great plan!

Micaela, thank you! I'm so happy to hear this.

So much scotch tape. And masking tape, my preferred tape for walls and furniture! Ha!
The Journal/Magazine is absolutely gorgeous! I was in utter awe when I received my copy! I’ll be anxiously awaiting future editions! 😍😍😍
I am so happy to hear that, Tanya! I hope you will continue to enjoy it (and show it to your friends!).
Yes, yes, yes!! ☺️

LOVED the scotch tape article 😂 When I buy a pack of tape, I hide a few so I have it when I need it!
People always make jokes about how moms hide chocolate, but the real treasure is the hidden stash of tape, scissors, and staplers! I'll take that Lindt bar and raise you a three-hole-puncher!
Very true! Because we can get along without the chocolate, but when you need tape, there's not much that can substitute for that!
Hahaha! Truth! The chocolate is just a cover for the office supplies!
