Sweet Greens

Hello Everyone. How was your Thanksgiving? Are you enjoying your long weekend? Are you planning on decorating for Hanukkah, Christmas, Solstice or any other winter holiday? Do you plan to have a holiday tree this year? Are you choosing an Eco friendly version?
While I try to decide the type of tree that I want to do this year, here are a few things I have been meaning to share with you:

– Are you doing an advent calendar this year? I love this reusable magnetic one from Martha Stewart.
– I wish I had this market bag to take with me to the Farmer’s Market..
– I am in love with the new ads for The Beatles. You?
– This print it yourself wrapping paper is divine. You could use 100% post consumer waste paper and water based inks. Plus, did I mention it’s FREE.
– Does your dog need a mustache? I know that mine do!
– Wow! I would love to make 1 few wine bottle lights.
– I love the twinkling of the lights on the holiday trees. Don’t you agree?

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and get ready for Sweet Greens 2010 Holiday Giveaway Week that will start bright and early on Monday morning. I would love for you to invite your friends and family!

I miss you already!

Sweet Greens

Hello Everyone! Our Thanksgiving is now over – the guests have come and gone, the kitchen is clean and Mr. Sweet Greens, Eben and I have snuggled up on the sofa to watch a movie. Can you believe that another Thanksgiving has come and gone – again? It will soon be time to get ouy the holiday decorations!

I am very thankful for my fabulous husband who supports everything that I do and for a sweet as pie son who is the joy of my life. I am grateful that we are now living in a warm climate and tomorrow will be spent at the beach. I am thankful that we were able to spend Thanksgiving Day with Mr. Sweet Greens’ father and 95 year old grandparents. I am also thankful to be a blogger and for having so many lovely readers that share their lovely words with me each day.

I hope that you too enjoyed your Thanksgiving with friends and family, and that you had a delicious piece of pie or two. Happy Thanksgiving and have a lovely night!

Just a little reminder that Monday starts the 2010 Sweet Greens Holiday Giveaway Week. I will be featuring five fabulous giveaways each day – all week long. There will be things for everyone on your holiday list, with the giveaways totaling well over $1500. The 2010 Sweet Greens Holiday Giveaway Week will be followed by the 12 Days of Etsy – again an event that you won’t want to miss with over $500 in giveaways!

Every day life can get very busy, leaving very little time to think of ways that our lifestyles can impact the health and happiness of our family and the environment. Read my 7 tips to a healthy and happy family lifestyle at Cascadian Farm and see if your family is on track.

How about you lovely readers, how do you ensure a healthy and happy family lifestyle?

I just realized that Hanukkah starts in 9 days and Christmas isn’t too far off either. And guess what? I haven’t purchased my holiday cards yet! The holidays have really snuck up on me this year. I need to decide quickly which greeting card I want to go with. Here are some that I am smitten with:

– Night Owl Paper Goods: I love cards that are Eco friendly – but when they do double duty, I fall in love. These personalized wooden holiday cards that are also a photo and a calendar in one – make me swoon. Especially the Beep Beep Road Trip – these are perfect for The Sweet Greens Family. {above}

– Ms Jordan Kay has a fun assortment of holiday cards made from recycled vintage records in her Etsy shop. They are bright, colorful, green and remind me of my grandmother!
