It has been raining a little every day, sometimes at night. I like the rain. I love the tiny little drops of water sent straight down from heaven above. All that life needs a good soaking and the best part is when more life grows. Everyone has their windows open listening to the rain falling…
In the garden…garden tables and infusion oils.
It’s that time of year again, gardening time. I’m so looking forward to this. Everyone around here is telling us to hold on a minute there because April sometimes gets a freeze before that old Winter decides to pack up and leave. They tell us to plant after April 15th. I didn’t wait completely though….
Thrifting and felting.
The other week when we stopped off at one of the restore shops, they had a whole box of old magazines. The name of this magazine always makes me laugh. It’s a magazine that was everywhere back in Arizona, and now here in the Ozarks I’m seeing it as well. I picked up a couple…
The Sugar Gum Tree.
I discovered something the other day, I mean learned something new that is. It’s about a certain kind of tree. The first time I came across this tree was on one of my early morning walks through a cemetery. There are all kinds of huge mature trees through out this peaceful cemetery. The tombs go…
The storm is over.
Day two of snowmageddon and so far it felt like the Winter storm from last year and the year before that. I wonder why this one came with so much terror. Exploding trees, a whole grid collapse headed our way, depending on who you listened to in the media world. There was more humor with…

Don’t throw it away. Anything that your food comes in, or products come in, you may be able to use it for something else. So instead of sending it to the dump, look at it for awhile and see what you can do with it to make it’s purpose something else. This is a small…
Finding your peace through hobbies.
The other day I came across this little clip in my recommendations. It was 105 relaxing hobbies to start. Starting new hobbies are not only great ways to relax us, they are good for memory skills, and our mental health too. It’s also a great way to work on keeping our motor skills in tune…
DIY pom pom crafts
I am a big believer in keeping children off the screens as much as possible. Doing crafts with the kids helps keep them busy and teaches them skills. Yarn crafts are fun and frugal ways to make cute animals and pom poms to decorate with or play with. Making your own toys is always fun….
Mother’s Day gifts from the garden.
“ To be a Mother is the most beautiful blessing. Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mothers.” Here in America we celebrate Mother’s Day Sunday May 11th. This is an older post of mine as I did not have time this year to make up some fun DIY’s to share with you all, I’m…
ASD tabletime crafts…counting cups.
Supplies needed: Jelly beans, small package of toy carrots. Holiday seasons are the prefect time to shop for home school products. You can use jelly beans for math lessons for adding and subtracting. Or you can make a jelly bean necklace counting as you string them. There are all kinds of little erasers and Spring…
