All summer long (and now well into the Fall) I have been using the power of wind and solar to dry a large portion of my clothes and bath towels thanks to a classic drying rack. I love the fact that I have saved pennies by not using my energy hog clothes dryer but I also just get such joy out of seeing clothes and towels blowing in the wind outside. Maybe my view of clothes on the line is a bit romantic but I always loved my summers at Grandmas's farm, helping my mom putting clothing and bed … [Read more...]

TGIF – NatureBox, Baby Books, and Fifty Shades
TGIF! Have a great weekend and Mother's Day all!
