I had an awesome week for finding/buying second hand things I have long been looking for this week. The thrift store near my home had this awesome picnic basket for only $4. It is sturdy and in very good condition. It came with 4 plastic plates, plastic cups, and plastic utensils that appear to be new in package. I plan on donating those items back to the thrift store and putting light weight, stainless steel plates and tumblers in their place. Regular silverware in cloth napkins will work for … [Read more...]

WildCraft – A Game for Holistic Families
We love to play games in this house or uh... couldn't tell ya by this post on educational games, or this post on eco theme board games? Until my kids can give me a run at Gin Rummy, Hearts, or Bonco then board games do the trick. For MANY months now the favorite for my kids has been The Farming Game.
