This year I started a worm composting bin in my basement. We have a ton of paper (office and home!) that I have "processed" through my worms. The compost will feed my garden this spring a win-win situation! This article inspired me to be better at recycling our trash, I printed the things the recyclers take and plan to post it by the trash can so we don't miss as much recyclable stuff headed for the trash bin. Thanks for the inspiration!


My Resolution: Throw Away Less, Recycle More

I have a palm that I decorated this year with white Christmas lights. I bought clear glass ornaments from Michaels and placed feathers within then. I also bought a small glittery blue peacock that "roosts" in the lower branches. at the base of the tree I placed several gold christmas balls- they kind of look like eggs. I guess you could say it's my eccentric take on the partridge in a pear tree.

My mom brought one with her on a recent visit to my new house..I thought what a clever little housewarming gift! It's now in use in my guest bedroom and I can't wait for my flight attendant friends to drop in and we can have a giggle about my little hotel room. : )

I taught myself to roller skate on or front porch when I was growing up. It was also the place I would sit at to watch sunsets- we lived across from a huge cornfield so it seemed like there was a million miles out in front of me. After the sun went down, the lightning bugs would come out for their evening show. Magical!

In Girl Scout Camp- my friend KC & I spent out entire 2 weeks free time lashing together a tree platform with twine and branches we had cut. It was so much fun lounging around reading trashy magazines in a space we created!

okay true story- I bit the nose of my bozo the clown punch bag. No more bozo afterthat. This would have been a great replacement!

Would this work for high efficiency front loaders? I'm wondering because I've already gotten roped into buying the expensive HE detergent and I'd love an alternative!

I have one of those stone aromatherapy oil burners- a few drops of lavender and a drop of mint does the trick. Also would try grapefruit or orange for a perk up scent.

I just had a pineapple infused vodka last night- Amazing.
The other flavors they had behind the bar in apothecary jars were cucumber, ginger, assorted melon, grapefruit, pepper and vanilla bean. Amazing.
My friend was saying she had a Garlic vodka recently- not my bag of tea- but she LOVED it.
