Have a Lovely Green Weekend.

Hello lovely readers,

How was your week? Did you go anywhere new? Do anything exciting? I had a fantastic spring break with Eben. It was great to spend the entire week with him, having lunch together, riding our bikes, going to the library, chatting, watching movies and going to the park. I will be sad when he has to return to school on Monday. Did you do anything fun with your children?

My weekend starts early today, Mr. Sweet Greens will be home at noon and then we are off to pick up our new pop up camper. Yay! I am looking forward to bringing it home and stocking it full of all of the things that we will need on our family trips. We are so excited and have already planned our maiden voyage to the hot springs next weekend. Since, it is cold and snowy again, I think the hot springs are in order. Don’t you agree?

Tonight, we are thinking of taking Eben to see ‘Alice in Wonderland’. He has been asking to see it for a couple of weeks now. The conversation always starts the same, ‘Mom, do you know who plays the Mad Hatter? It’s Johnny Depp.’ He says this as if Johnny Depp is his best friend and it always makes me smile. Doesn’t the movie look fantastic? We have a major thing for Tim Burton in our home, so we are excited. Fun.

We are hoping that the snow will melt enough this weekend that we can continue to work on our raised garden boxes. Have you started your garden? We are growing seedlings in our bedroom and bathroom windows. Mr. Sweet Greens has our entire garden designed and I can not wait to see the finished product. What are your fave goodies to have in the garden?
Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend?

Glee Gum Review and Giveaway


Who doesn’t love gum? Eben and I recently received a package from Glee Gum full of different flavors of their fantastic natural gum and we were intrigued. Natural? You heard me right. Glee Gum is completely all-natural, with no preservatives, artificial flavorings, or colorings. Isn’t that fantastic?

Eben and I really enjoyed the Glee Gum, in fact, it didn’t last long. Now whenever we go marketing Eben always asks to get a pack or two of it. We found it at Whole Foods. We also received a Make Your Own Gum Kit, which was tons of messy fun. Wouldn’t the make your own gum kits be perfect for a birthday party, school classroom activity or sleepover?

Glee Gum has been so fantastic to give THREE of my lovely readers a 3 pack of Glee Gum and Coupon.

Art Tales: Win an Upcycled Trout Stuffed Animal Giveaway

This week’s Earth friendly Etsy shop is Art Tales, owned by Mary in Reading, Pennsylvania. Art Tales makes the lovely little LEFTZ soft plushies. LEFTZ are plush soft toys made with upcycled materials found at yard sales, thrift shops, or leftovers from Mary’s {the owner} home. These Eco friendly plushies are stuffed with recycled plastic shopping bags and are unique and fantastic. The eye {they only have one} on these little lovelies are made from layered vintage buttons. The reason for only one eye, Mary explains it best, ‘each plush receives a great big hug after completion. It’s such a big hug that one of their eyes just pops off.’ Is that fantastic of what?
Each LEFTZ is unique, there are no patterns, Mary uses her imagination to decide what type of the creature the fabric will become. I love the creatures that Mary creates, I think they are fabulous, colorful, unique and fun. Wouldn’t these make a lovely addition to your child’s bed or a fun accent piece for your family room?

Right now, I am quite smitten with:

Wouldn’t you love a LEFTZ of your own? Lucky you, Art Tales is giving one of my lovely readers, your very own Plush Trout to hug and love.
