I discovered Abe's Market sometime last year when I came across a cardboard dollhouse with furniture that I knew my 7 year old daughter would just love. It ended up being a birthday present and my daughter still plays with it quite often. Even though it is made of cardboard it is still going strong. This store is part Etsy and part Whole Foods with a mix of posh and sustainable toys as well as some handcrafted stuff. But they also have a little Amazon, Groupon and Home Shopping Network thrown … [Read more...]
Farming Game for Kids
We recently added another board game to our collection. We LOVE games and mom especially loves games that have some earth friendly message or that encourage a curiosity in nature. A few weeks back I won a $50 gift certificate to a homeschool store, I used part of it to buy The Farm Game for Kids. I have to say that this is one enjoyable and educational game. The game has three levels of play so it is almost like having three different games in one. The first level is for kids starting at age … [Read more...]
Now Is the Time to Pick a CSA
Spring is just around the corner and pretty soon we will start seeing the first of springs harvest. I can almost taste the fresh leafy greens. It is time to start planting seedlings for your garden.

But it was hard to come to that … [Read more...]
Getting Settled
Yes, I moved again. As you may already now from my hints in other posts I moved yet again. Unlike my recent cross country trek from Arizona to Ohio, this time I just moved across town. My first place in Ohio was a very old Victorian house and I was very excited to do some green remodeling. Well I admit now that I bit off more then I could chew and with 3 kids to watch after every day I just could not see living in a fixer upper anymore. The street the house was on was also a major part of … [Read more...]
Arizona Resort Goes All Organic
I was elated to read this morning that a resort just a few miles from my house (and a place I LOVE to stay at) is going to be a pioneeer for the organic movement by going all organic. The resort is called The Boulders. An establishment right next to the resort called El Pedegral, is actually a Farmer's Market and festival that offers organic produce. Here I have lived next to this marketplace for years (when I am not in Ohio) and I never even knew what it was. Coming in October is an organic … [Read more...]
