What mysterious goody is coming your way?

What mysterious goody is coming your way?

A friend of mine is participating in the Craft it Forward 2013 challenge.  She asked her Facebook friends to comment on her wall, and is sending a hand-crafted goody to the first 5 friends who did so.  I am a big fan of home made goodies, let alone free loot.  Since I was one of the first five friends to comment, I will be receiving something exciting by mail before 2013 is through. Yay!

And as part of the challenge, I am now paying it forward to you.

CRAFT IT FORWARD 2013

I will send a handmade mystery item by the end of the year to the first five people who comment on this post.  Who knows what goodies I might send you.  I will say that it will involve a bit of enviro-nerd flair to it in the spirit of Yeah Baby it’s Cold Outside.

Interested in getting something from me?

Leave a comment below with a contact email address.  Let the crafting begin!

Mind you, like a true extrovert, he is having almost no troubles with the change (other than being a little more tired by dinner time). In fact, he barely turned around to say goodbye the first time he was dropped off at daycare.

I don’t think he even notices Continue reading →

I can’t believe that we are in the last month of summer so soon.

Already we have moved on from the uncomfortable hot days of July to the cool evenings of August.

This is my favourite time of the summer.  Not only because I was married in August, but also because I love the coolness that sweeps in, allowing me to relish the crispness of the evenings while snuggled next to the Dreamboat.

And on top of that is the realization that another holiday weekend has arrived.

Which means…[cue the bells and whistles]…camping! Continue reading →

Those Amazing Trees

If you thought this summer was hot, sticky and are hoping that next year the weather is just a little more balanced, then you might want to think about one of the most natural air coolants out there:

The tree.

Simply put, if we had more of them left, we would have more opportunities to experience their amazing powers of cooling and shading.

Think I’m exaggerating?  Well here are a few interesting facts about trees that I learned from the David Suzuki Foundation email newsletter this week:
