Can you believe the holidays are coming to a close. As you can guess, throwing it out in the trash isn’t the most Eco friendly way to dispose of it. Here are the 4 ways that I wrote about for Inhabitots this week – which way will you be recycling your tree?
If your living room is like mine – you have a nice bunch of candy canes leftover from the holidays. Don’t throw them away, incorporate them into sweets that your family enjoys year round. Visit Inhabitots to check out my top five recipes made better when a little peppermint candy cane powder is added to the mix.
How do you reuse your leftover candy canes?
Wondering what to do with that huge stack of holiday greeting cards and gift packaging left over from the festivities this year? You can reuse them by upcycling them into next year’s gift tags. My super simple process takes less than half and hour, leaving you with a cute stack of holiday tags to adorn next years gifts. Click here to read about it at Inhabitots and to get started – this is a great project for the kids.

Hello Friends. Happy Christmas Eve. Are you excited? Are your children excited? Do you have all of the presents wrapped? Is Christmas going to be a laid-back or crazy-all-over-the-place type of day for you? Today, we are heading to Coconut Grove to spend the day with family, here – sipping mango margaritas by the pool and watching the Koi. Do you think that I will be able to keep Eben out of the pond this year?
Sunday, we are spending the day at the King Mango Strut parade in Coconut Grove. The motto of the parade is “Putting the NUT in CocoNUT Grove.” Basically if it happened in the news in 2010, you will see a parody and satire of it at the King Mango Strut. It is super fun and if you live in South Florida, you don’t want to miss it! We arrive early with bagels and mimosas and sit back, relax and wait for the fun!
While, I get ready for a day of family and fun, here are a few green things I have wanted to share with you:
– I love these monogrammed mugs from Anthropologie – so did Eben. {above photo via Eben}
– North Point’s iBand shows you only need your iPhone and iPad to rock out on Christmas. {Thanks C}
– Your children will delight in receiving a personal message from Santa.
– If animals were able to talk will make you giggle.
– Would you stay in an ice hotel?
– Need a sweet last minute gift? How about peppermint hot fudge?
– Want to send a last minute newsinator? You will die of laughter.
– Here are 7 last minute crafts to keep the little ones busy while you wrap gifts!
I hope you have a fantastic weekend with your friends and family. Posting will be light next week – I will be camping on the beach for a few days. However, I will check in here and there!
