Could you live in a micro house? Think of a 12×12 space? Each home features a dishwasher, microwave and modern oven combo. As well as a bathroom, closet, and plenty of natural light. Would this work for you? If it were just me, I could definitely live in a micro house from Twelve Cubed. Fantastic.
We recently received a crate of organic fruit from The FruitGuys. Have you heard of them? The FruitGuys are known for bringing fresh seasonal fruit {brain food} from local farms to thousands of American businesses and homes across the country. Fantastic, no?
The FruitGuys work with local farmers to help them succeed and achieve green practices. During peak season 70-90% of the fruit mixes offered by The FruitGuys are locally grown within the regions they serve {East Coast, Midwest, West Coast} and go from the farm to home or office within 3-4 days.
My family recently received a large crate of fruit from the FruitGuys. Luckily, we are huge consumers of fruit, because there was a lot of it. {I used some for my surprise valentine’s brunch for Mr. Sweet Greens and Eben} Our crate carried juicy apples, pears, kiwis, oranges, tangerines, bananas and blueberries. All of the fruit came packaged in an Earth friendly crate made from recycled cardboard and soy based ink, which also protected the fruit perfectly.
I think the FruitGuys is a fantastic idea for someone who owns a small or large business that wants to provide their employees with a healthy brain snack each day. I have worked in many large business offices in my day, it would have been nice if fresh fruit was an option at our Monday morning meetings, instead of bagels or donuts. Don’t you agree?
Also, the FruitGuys have organic fruit crates that would be perfect for your family. You can purchase either a 16, 25 or 50 piece FruitCrate. How fantastic would it be to have one delivered to your door?
The FruitGuys have been so lovely to give ONE of my readers a 50 serving organic FruitCrate.

Happy President’s Day. Do you have the day off of work? Mr. Sweet Greens had to work today, so it is just Eben and myself. We don’t have any formal plans, just a relaxing day at home. Maybe, we will make these fun log cabins via Martha Stewart to celebrate President’s Day. I mean peanut butter mortar, it doesn’t get much better than that, no?
How was your week? Did you get your valentines done? If not, here are a lot of fun ideas that you could do before Sunday. Are you ready for the weekend? I know, I am. My weekend starts with Eben’s class Valentine’s Day party this afternoon. How fun is that? I love to see little kids dressed up in red, white and pink for love day. It is always so much fun to see them exchange and open valentines. Their delight is precious and genuine.
Sunday morning, Eben will wake up to find the first clue to his Valentine’s Day Scavenger Hunt on his bedroom door. This is always his favorite part of Valentine’s Day, searching for the clues. What comes next is a secret, but if you promise not to tell. I have a surprise Valentine’s Day brunch planned for Mr. Sweet Greens and Eben. I am going to decorate our dining room in red, pink and white, complete with a fancy table setting and hearts hanging from the chandelier. On the menu, heart shaped waffles, omelets and for dessert {of course you have to have dessert after Valentine’s Day brunch} heart shaped cinnamon rolls. I can. not. wait. I love, love, love brunch.
The rest of the weekend is going to be devoted to relaxing and enjoying each other’s company.
How about you lovely readers, what are your Valentine’s Day plans?
Your weekend plans? Are you doing anything fun? How about for President’s Day? Do you have the day off of work? Do you have anything fun coming up?
