April 30, 2010 0

Hello Lovely Readers,

This weekend we are hoping to have another run at our first camping trip of the season. If there is no snow, we are heading for the hills. And with us, will be our new, canoe. Some husband’s bring their wives flowers home, my husband brings me home a canoe. Yes, a canoe. We have been wanting one for a bigillion years and Mr. Sweet Greens found an like new Old Town Camper Canoe for $300. SOLD! I think this will be a fantastic family activity, don’t you agree?

How about you lovely readers, what are your weekend plans?

The Goodbyn Lunchbox: Good For Kids, Parents and the Planet

April 30, 2010 0

Eben was super excited to come home from school yesterday to have a package from Goodbyn waiting for him. Why do you ask, would Eben be so excited to receive a lunchbox? Have you seen the Goodbyn Lunchboxes? Case closed. He was excited to decorate it! He took those 3 huge rolls of stickers and went to work for about an hour customizing it to his specifics tastes. When he finished his masterpiece, he advised me that the bottom middle section is specifically for Earth friendly stickers. (He even mentioned that the diamond was mined in an Eco friendly manner!)

I love the Goodbyn because it is Eco friendly, food grade quality, dishwasher safe, recyclable and easy to pack, it holds a lot of food and is fun to use. I love that it is designed by your child, it is their creative energy that decides how and where to use the stickers. I love individuality and this lunchbox stands out in a crowd.

How about you, what do you think of the Goodbyn lunchbox?
Do you think this is a lunchbox your child would enjoy.

Welcome New Sponsor: Padmala: Yoga Inspired Jewelry

April 30, 2010 0

Please join me in welcoming Sweet Greens’ newest sponsor Padmala. Padmala is a yoga inspired jewelry line offered by the same people that have brought us Lotus Pad. Do you remember Lotus Pad? All of the pieces in the Padmala collection are made from the finest gemstones, silvers and gold vermeils. Here you will find modern malas, a twist on the traditional 108 bead counting. Wouldn’t one of these necklaces make a fantastic Mother’s Day gift? I love the Ocean Jasper Bracelet and the modern mala necklace with three silver cubes.

A lovely thank you to Padmala for sponsoring Sweet Greens. I am super excited to have you.

Do You Need to Smile Today? Watch: Babies

Being a Mother is one of the loveliest things in the world. Don’t you agree? From the time, I found out that I was pregnant with Eben, until present day, he occupies my thoughts constantly. I love to have a special bond with this small person, a bond that only a mother can have. Fantastic!

Guess what comes out in the theatres on Mother’s Day? Babies: The Movie. Follow four babies around the world – from birth to first steps. Watch the trailer and you like me, you will be teary eyed. Lovely.

How about you dear readers, do you love being a Mom?

Vintage Fun for Kids: Vintage Pedal Cars

April 29, 2010 0

I love, love, love vintage cars. Do you remember this about me? My Dad is a HUGE vintage car lover and has a shop at his home that is full of vintage cars and their parts, around 30 in total. His love for ‘old cars’ definitely rubbed off on me. I also love fantastic kids design that is full of color and gets the imagination rolling. So when the two meet in the fashion of Vintage Pedal Cars from the 1950’s, I start to think to myself, ‘If I start to collect these, where will I put them?’ Aren’t they fantastic? The colors, the shapes. Now, how to tell Mr. Sweet Greens I want to start collecting something this size?
