look what i found in palm springs...
Yesterday, my friend Kelly and I did a little vintage shopping in Palm Springs. While at Revivals, I found these cute little stools for my new studio. They're not really practical at all, but they're pretty darn cute and were only $15 each! We might recover them in a new fabric, but I a...
Sometimes I wish we had an official composter. We do the big heap in the backyard. It's behind a tree but there are times when it looks pretty bad - especially right now as the snow is beginning to melt and all the food scraps from the winter are out in the open. Fortunately we don't have to worry about bears! :)

A Good Composter is Hard to Find (But We Found It!)
As much as I'd love to tell you that composting came naturally to me, it just didn't. It takes some trial and error to figure it out, and it also takes a really good composter. Unfortunately, it took us five years and three failed composters to arrive at one that actually does what it's supp...

A Week Without Sweets and The Value of Breaking Habits
The minute my boys get home from school, they always want a "sweet snack", which usual means a couple of cookies or maybe a piece of candy if they have some from a holiday or special occasion. After dinner it's the same routine - "What's for dessert?", they ask! Imagine my surprise when, com...

How to Choose an Indoor Compost Bucket
It was time. The trusty, green, plastic compost bucket that lived under my sink for many years had to go. For months, I dealt with the cracked top rim but when the handle snapped off completely (showering my legs with compost - thankfully outside!), I knew that its days were numbered. Even th...
Sounds like these pom-poms will be perfect for cheering at a soccer game! Thank for stopping by Holly!

How to Make a Yarn Pom-Pom
We've been having fun with yarn around here. Fluffy pom-pom kind of fun! When our friends at MightyNest gave us a sewing & knitting kit to try out, I figured it was about time to teach Liam how to make this fun craft activity that I remember making as a kid. Yarn pom-poms are very simple to ...
Has the green bucket held up for you Tiffany? Mine did for a few years actually but when the handle broke, it was done for. :)

Kiersten - how often do you have to dump yours? You must have a lot of food scraps with all the cooking you do!

Good luck finding the right compost bucket Kristina! I thought the ceramic ones looked nice but I was a little worried about durability.

Yes, I agree Anne - I think many girls would like them too! Like I said in the post, I hate to make assumptions about gender differences but I do know that a lot of boys like these types of crafts and activities!
