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?

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?

Springtime is supposedly here, except for the fact that I woke up today with a couple of inches of snow out my window? So instead of camping this weekend, I guess I will be doing my spring cleaning. Did you know that you can give your home a good clean without toxic chemicals? Better yet, you can make your own green cleaners that clean just as well as their pricey, chemical laden counterparts and at a fraction of the price. Visit my blog at Cascadian Farm for my eight favorite green cleaning recipes, everything from my Scrub a Dub Bathroom Cleaner to my Happy Feet Floor Cleaner.

How about you lovely readers, do you make your own green cleaners?

The Sweet Greens Goodies Club goody for February was a fantastic pair of vintage upcycled earrings from Beans Things. These sweet, simple and dainty earrings are made using vintage cabochons. Each subscriber received a pair in a fantastic color and design picked just for them. How fantastic is that?

And guess what? April’s green goody is in the mail. Shhh. I can’t say what it is because it is a surprise. Do you want to receive a surprise Sweet Greens goody in the mail each month? You can subscribe here.

Please join me in welcoming back one of Sweet Greens first sponsors, Andrew’s Reclaimed. Have you been looking for the perfect Mother’s or Father’s Day gift? Andrew’s Reclaimed is the shop you have been looking for. Andrew’s fantastic shop is full of home and garden goodies that he makes using reclaimed woods that are sourced from structures slated for demolition.

In his shop you will find a lovely collection of bird feeders, bee boxes, shelves, pet feeders and much, much more. I recently gave Mr. Sweet Greens the Mason Bee Nest and he is excited to install it into our garden and watch the bees move in. How great will that be this summer?

A big thank you to Andrew’s Reclaimed for sponsoring Sweet Greens, I am excited to have you again.
