This lovely lady to the right is my 8 year old daughter. I have two boys and yet she is the one who would gladly spend every available moment outside playing with friends and getting dirty. She is such an outdoor girl and she needs boots that will not only keep her feet warm during our cold Ohio winters, she also wants some that are fashionable. Whether you are splashing in puddles or building a fort you need to look good right? Well, I hear that you do anyway. The good folks at Bogs offered … [Read more...]
Worm Factory for Indoor Composting
A couple weeks ago we welcomed some new "pets" into the house... Red Wrigglers (worms). They even have a posh new condo in the kitchen so they are getting royal treatment.

But I started to feel guilty about that as I … [Read more...]

We have … [Read more...]

I absolutely love what they do and what they stand for. This spring/summer will be busy, busy as she is also going to be playing T-ball and practice begins in … [Read more...]
Eco Wrap
TGIF! Have an awesome weekend everyone! I will continue spending lots of time with my oldest son who is on spring break. We have been doing crafts projects, going to the movies, going bowling, and I think we are going to the zoo today if I can swing it. While at the movies I fell into a pothole and sprained my ankle which now has a golf ball size lump on it. :( But to cheer myself up I got my spring/summer haircut early. I hacked off my shoulder blade length hair...2 inches or so in length on … [Read more...]
