In celebration of Earth Day 2013, members of the Homestead Bloggers Network have partnered with BuyGreen.com to make going green even easier! With a generous gift card for $250, BuyGreen.com makes going (or staying) green even easier! So what can I find at BuyGreen.com? Maybe the question should be, “what can’t I find at BuyGreen.com?” From [...]
I love gardening and I love even more when I can trust the source of my plants. This fall I planted some garlic from Peaceful Valley/Grow Organic and you can see them doing well in the photo below I took earlier this winter. Soon the ground will be warming up and we’ll put down a [...]
A few days before the most romantic day of the year, a lot of you are probably searching for more innovative ways on how you’ll celebrate that day with your beloved. While it’s nice to have a candle-lit dinner, serenaded by string quartet, be surprised by a humongous bouquet of flowers or a hundred big [...]
I stumbled upon an offer from Melanie at Only a Breath to create a little button with your word of the year. Your One Word. The word that will be your focal point for the coming year. It was a no-brainer for me because this word is something I’ve been gearing up for – it’s [...]
I’ll be honest: compulsory gift giving is not my favorite thing. My absolute biggest pet peeve is being stuck at Christmas, obligated to give gifts to people who don’t need a thing and no time to spend racking my brain on something creative. Gross. Birthdays aren’t quite as bad, because it’s a day to celebrate [...]
This is a guest post by the fabulous Kim Moldofsky highlighting the topic of a twitter chat I’ll be participating in tonight – #STEMChat! This month’s #STEMchat is leaning toward our Maker roots and is more STEAM than normal, that is, STEM plus Arts. Thanks to this month’s sponsor, littleBits, we’ll be talking about #MakeTheHoliday- sharing [...]
I absolutely love giving gifts to people, but I don’t love to brave the crowds. Now that the holiday season is here, shopping for those special people on my list usually comes with crowded shopping malls and crabby people. There is always the option of shopping online, but sometimes it can be overwhelming finding the perfect [...]
A few nights ago, I was Pinterest surfing on my phone and saw a recipe I thought looked healthy and possibly yummy, so like a hundred times before, I repinned. The next day I did something shocking. I actually tried the recipe. Originally posted on Anja’s Food 4 Thought as Banana Pecan Granola Bars, and [...]
My kids have been playing sports this past year and one of the things I’ve noticed is that it is so much easier to get them to drink water when they are staying active on a regular basis. While the human body is 65% water, the human brain is 75% water – and with children’s [...]
Isn’t it amazing how dependent that we have become on cell phones these days? I admit it, I’m an addict. We don’t even own a home phone any longer. Do you? And, not only is my cellular phone my only phone, but the customer service on most cell phone plans is absolutely horrendous! I don’t [...]
