Just for fun…

I absolutely love this tumblr site!  It’s full of funny references to crafting…and it doesn’t hurt that each reference has a different background picture of Ryan Gosling, who has become the unofficial Arts Administrator for crafters with a sense of humor.  I litereally laugh out loud every time I read some of these submissions.  Check it out!

Cheap and Easy Greenhouse Ideas

Neat article about simple, cheap greenhouses for beginners found on www.treehugger.com.  Some of these greenhouses can be built by re-using materials like windows.  The”hoop house” is commonly used to start seeds early or grow greens well beyond their normal growing cycle, then taken down and stored when it’s no longer needed.

Greenhouse made of windows

The first of many.

My first blog post – I’m a little nervous!
  
I hope to use this space to share things I come across in my daily job of managing the well being of my family, myself, my friends, my career – my life.  Mostly I’ll be sharing thoughts and ideas on balancing healthy, active, chemical free living with the real life constraints of time, money and energy.
 
Here I’ll dabble in a bit of food, natural remedies, child rearing, exercise, science and technology, books, and my ultimate guilty pleasures – all things beauty and fashion.
