Are you hosting Thanksgiving this year? Have you considered immersing your entire dinner party into the Thanksgiving feast process? This week at Cascadian Farm, I shared my 5 steps to getting back to our roots to share the complete Thanksgiving experience together from start to finish.
What are your thoughts on this?
Does your entire dinner party share in the experience?
Or is the process left to one or two people?
Do you think it would make a difference if everyone was involved?
Here is another fantastic little video from Annie at the Story of Stuff. This time Annie shares with us The Story of Cosmetics. It is a scary story. If you haven’t already removed all of these nasty toxic chemicals from your cosmetic and personal care products, watch to see why it is so important. As Annie says, Toxins in – Toxins out!
We have to work together to get new laws passed to make sure that all of our personal and cosmetic products are safe. After all, it isn’t 1950 anymore.
Have you removed all of the toxic cosmetic and personal care products from your beauty routine?
If not, why not? I would love to hear your thoughts!
I have been looking for fun stocking stuffers for Eben this year and just found Yoga Planet’s 50 Fun Activities for a Greener World. How much fun would it be to try out each of these fifty poses and games together as a family. Each of the cards is in line with one of the planet’s natural elements: air, earth, fire, water and space. Fantastic. This is definitely on my list.
How about you lovely readers, what types of fun games do you like to stuff in the holiday stocking?
Does your child eat school lunch or do you pack a lunch for him? In my opinion – packing your child’s lunch box is usually the way to go. There are 6 essentials that should be packed each day, do you know what they are? If not, read 6 Essentials to Pack in your Child’s School Lunch Box. Are there other essentials that you always pack?
Hello Friends. Do you have any fun plans this weekend? Tonight, we are going to the theater to see Let It Be…The Beatles. After everything that Eben has been telling me about The Palm Beach Pops – it sounds like we will have a fantastic time! I am really looking forward to an evening with my boys – and they will be wearing their suits and ties, which just makes me smile. While I get dressed up for our night out, here are a few green things that I have been meaning to share with you:
– Add one of these little notes to your child’s lunchbox or your husband’s suitcase. Sweet!
– These hand drawn paper dolls are delightful and FREE!
– These clouds and umbrellas could brighten up any room.
– Jordan is moving to Paris for a year – and I am kind of jealous.
– Have you heard of EtsyKids? Fantastic.
– Grandpa Sweet Greens is coming over this weekend to watch Toy Story 3.
– I wish I could find these berries at our Green Market on Saturday – the radishes above were a find!
– It is chilly in Florida today, (low 70’s) I wish I had one of these to snuggle up in.
I hope you have a cozy weekend with your family. I will see you back here on Monday – I miss you already.
xo,
Sweet Greens
