Welcome to Spring

Hello Friends. Welcome to Spring. Can you believe it? Are you ready or what? Springtime in Florida is fantastic – it is like the warmest summer day in Colorado. I see many afternoons spent lounging at the pool, reading on a blanket under a large shade tree or playing at the park.

How does your family spent warm spring afternoons together?

Welcome New Sponsor – Sparkover

Please join me in welcoming Sweet Greens’ newest sponsor: Sparkover. Sparkover is jewelry that is made from computer leftovers that have been given a new lease on life. We use materials that are vintage, or old stock, but everything that we use to make our jewelry was headed for the landfill. Sparkover is taking back the intricate insides that was used to make technology work by turning it all into something cool and fun and we’re giving it a new purpose.
If I were going to go shopping at Sparkover I would have to pick up a Totally Awesome Circuit Board Ring, a Circuit Board Mustache Necklace and a pair of Mini Sparks Earrings! You should jump over to Sparkover and check out what they have to offer!
A huge thank you to My Little Green Shop for sponsoring Sweet Greens. Would you like to share your Eco friendly goodies with a great green community? You can advertise on Sweet Greens too, click here to get started! I would love to have you.

Have a Lovely Green Weekend + A Few Green Things

Hello Friends. Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? We are soaking up every last possible minute of spring break fun. Right now, Mr. Sweet Greens and Eben and splish-splashing in the pool and I am catching a few rays poolside. Tomorrow, Eben and I are going to spend our morning baking. We are celebrating the birthdays of Eben’s grandfather and great-grandfather. Papa is turning 96 – what an achievement! Eben and I are in charge of dessert, oh the possibilities! While I start making a list of ingredients that we will need, here are a few green things that I thought you might enjoy:

– This raw footage of the Tsunami tragedy in Japan is heartbreaking.
– Here is another way we can all help Japan.
– A happy piglet just makes me smile.
– If you are in Paris, you have to know how to get to the flea market.
Brownie Popsicles? For real.
– Wow. Rediscovering Machu Picchu is fantastic!
– I am going to adopt a sea turtle and you can too.
– These Salvor Kimono Onesies that I wrote about for Inhabitots are animal attractive.

I hope you have a delicious weekend. I will see you back here on Monday.

HOW TO: Make a Recycled Orange Carton Dollhouse

Do you have two empty juice cartons in your recycling bin? If you do, you can make your own dollhouse that’s easy to take on the go. Your child can help to decide where to place the door, windows, accessories and you can use the leftover carton scraps to make doll furniture. With a draw-bridge closure, your child can leave everything inside and take it with them wherever they go. It’s the perfect size for little dolls or Lego mini figures! Check out my photo step-by-step instructions to learn how to make a portable dollhouse this afternoon
