I believe that we must honor, care for, and respect the earth every day of the year.
We must encourage our children in their development of a sense of responsibility for our planet.
To build that, we garden, hike, explore, learn about and come to treasure the world around us.
Every day is Earth Day. Let’s try to get outside today to enjoy and celebrate our beautiful world!
Did you know that Marvel has published a graphic novel version
As someone who devours all things Jane Austen, I was thrilled to hear about this. I’m all about bringing nineteenth century literature to the masses.
My copy arrived this morning. I can’t wait to dive right in. Doesn’t Caroline Bingley (above) look deliciously awful?! I abhor Mr. Collins already too:
I’ll provide one last shot, because I know you’re dying to see their interpretation of Pemberley…
I can’t wait to get reading… After this, I’m tackling the Marvel Illustrated Sense & Sensibility
I love seeing apple trees blooming, bee boxes set out to pollinate the blossoms, and grapes vines growing here in Sonoma County, California. We live in a truly beautiful part of the country.
Want to see what this same spot looked like last fall? Here are photos taken just before the grape leaves fell off the vines for the winter.
Our daughter desperately wants to place real postage stamps on her letters.
I understand that she wants her stamps to look exactly like mine, but at 44 cents a stamp, letting her play with them just isn’t financially feasible. Besides, Mama has important letters to mail too!
Instead we photo copied stamp booklets onto plain white paper.
My daughter then cut them out and we fed them through her sticker making machine
Now she has postage stamps of her very own that look like mine!
The postmaster wouldn’t be fooled, but my three year old is tickled pick by her realistic play stamps.
Want to play outside but your neighbor is using his noisy weed wacker?
There’s no need to fret.
Just break out your kid-sized noise reduction headphones
They’re perfect for playing with the band at concerts and scooping dirt in the yard.
