It's April, aka Earth Month. This is the time of year when we see an influx of earth-friendly messages and community events, when people are (at least talking about) planting trees and everyone is just a little bit more aware of their impact on the environment. So, I figured this in celebration of Earth Day … Continue reading Our Sustainable Living Inventory

We ran out of toothpaste, so I made some!
Rather than going to the store to purchase more, I thought I'd try to make my own toothpaste. There are a few reasons I wanted to try making my own toothpaste:#1 - I feel absolutely HORRIBLE every time I throw away an empty plastic toothpaste tube. I know that plastic is going to sit in … Continue reading We ran out of toothpaste, so I made some!
A House that Love Built
We found some time this week for a fun family project (and finally got around to using a cookie house kit we purchased back in December!).

It's just so exciting to try all of the pumpkin and pumpkin spice versions of our favorite foods. (I didn't buy the pumpkin pasta sauce this time, … Continue reading We’re Going to Turn Into Pumpkins!
Hot Summer Days and Silver Linings
It's been hot this summer, like really hot, like immediately-melt-the-ice-in-your-drink hot. We're talking humid, stifling, 90-degree temperatures for the last few days. And our air conditioner is not working. (We're in the process of fixing it. It seems like it is only in need of a small repair, not actually "broken." At least, we hope.) So, over the last … Continue reading Hot Summer Days and Silver Linings
Some men bring home flowers…
Some men bring home flowers; my husband brings home books. Please don't get me wrong. I really do like flowers and the way they look and smell, warming up the house, but my husband knows that I like books even more. He knows how much I love to read and how much I love to be … Continue reading Some men bring home flowers…
