It would be great to have less product posting on AT and affiliated sites, I agree! As someone that is trying to severely limit my consumption of new items it is overwhelming (and a bit boring) to...

I really love these pillows!

We actually have a beehive! We're using a "top bar" hive and so far our bees are thriving, the queen is laying eggs and honey is being stored! We're part of the "urban beekeeping" m...

A friend told me that the Shaklee bottles do not have ingredients listed, anyone know if that's true for all the products? I wouldn't like not knowing what is in there.....

Jill, I know we don't know each other at all but I just have to say: You are completely insane! And brilliant at the same time. What an amazing and unique event to have as part of your wedding e...

I would definitely try the "no dig" method of gardening, either with lasagna layers or building a raised bed and filling it with a combination of soil and compost. Here's an article from L A Times...

I typically don't eat anything when I drink tea, but do think scones are a good partner (my friend makes a lemon/cranberry scone to die for).

You can combat the legginess by putting the pots way down under the soil, just let a bit of the stem and the leaves stick out of the top. And your answer to my question last week about...

we were lucky enough to have a tree fall in our backyard and made those blocks ourselves! all you need is a fallen tree, a saw and some sandpaper for smoothing out any really sharp edges.

I'm wondering why you are starting beets in peat pellets? They are definitely best directly sowed. If it's weather related beets do well in cooler weather. Same for let...

Elsita is such an inspiration! She has a great attitude and is a really talented artist as well. I love her blog!

cool!

Learning Tower! How could I forget that one. Indispensable.

play silks! lots of different colors of them. you can use them for dress up, making little houses, wrapping "presents", etc. a set of lyra face pencils. a stokke chair.

I can't say enough about the inspiration that Amanda has given me since I found her blog early last year. I love the book and highly recommend it!

Cute!
