Is it almost that time again? My kids are already asking for homemade Popsicles using fresh juice, green smoothies, and fruit smoothies. Last I night I dug out our Tovolo rocket pops and star pops and perused online for one other set since the 5 of us can go through 12 pops on a hot summer day in no time. I won't buy in a store unless they are marked BPA free or they indicate the type of plastic used. There are lots of cute options online though. Besides the ones I already mentioned (above) … [Read more...]

Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution
So did you watch the premiere? I caught up with it online and it was an absolutely fabulous show. I am so happy that something like this is on prime time TV.

Natural Bathwater Colors
One of the first products to get the boot from our home when I started this journey to a more natural, green life was the little tub of Crayola bathwater colors.

If you look at these tubs you have a not-so … [Read more...]
A Weekend of Sewing
On this lovely sunny Friday... even though we have a teeny layer of snow on the ground... I really feel like cleaning up my sewing area and getting to work this weekend. Who knows if that wish will "materialize" but I DO have a mighty long wishlist. I would like to make some sun dress, pillowcase dresses, and halter tops for my daughter, a cape or two for my youngest boy, a couch pocket for TV remotes, a hanging laundry bag for the bathroom, some pot holders, a baby blanket for a … [Read more...]
