Have a Lovely Weekend + A Few Green Things

January 28, 2011 0

Hello Everyone. We have a super laid back weekend planned! My bestie Cameron from Green {Goody} is coming over for Tea and Wii this afternoon. I haven’t seen her in a couple of weeks and oh, how I have missed her! On Sunday, Eben’s school is having a family picnic – so, we will be spending the day at the beach. The rest of the weekend will be spent getting caught up on Valentine’s Day projects and cooking with my boys. While I start getting organized for the weekend, here are a few things I have been meaning to share with you:

– These bookcases have me reeling for our new home – I can’t wait to see my books again!
– I love the idea of a Trash to Treasure wedding theme.
– I think plantable Valentine’s Day cards are delightful.
– The organic elite surrenders to Monsanto, I am panicking!
– This is the exact reason that I adore dogs!
– An old Florida phosphate ore transformed into an energy park. Wow.
– Only in Miami! A mystery piano on a sandbar in Biscayne Bay?

P.S. Did you know that you can get more Sweet Greens’ fun here, here, here, here and here. And don’t forget to enter the 4 live giveaways!

I hope you have a snug as a bug weekend, I can’t wait to see you Monday.

Superfood of the Week: Hemp Seeds

January 28, 2011 0

Welcome to Superfood of the Week – this week’s goody is hemp seeds. If you are looking to add a power punch to your nutrition, hemp seeds are your answer! They are the most nutritionally complete source of food in the world! They contain a balanced ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fats and contain high quality protein and fiber. And they contain ALL 10 essential amino acids, potassium, magnesium and iron. You can add hemp seed to your daily routine by simply eating them raw, adding them to a salad or using the hemp seed oil in recipes.

How do you add the most nutritionally complete source of food in the world to your menu?

Branch: Felted Sting Rays and Sea Turtles

January 28, 2011 0

I am smitten with these felted Sting Rays and Sea Turtles from Branch. I love that they were intended as chew-toys for dogs but could also be used as toys and decor for a child’s or family room. These lovelies are handmade using all natural and renewable felt by craftswomen in Nepal – which just sweetens the deal.

+ Branch Felted Sting Ray or Sea Turtle $12
