Welcome New Sponsor – Sea Glass Designs

October 6, 2010 0

Waiting

Please join me in welcoming Sweet Greens’ newest sponsor: Sea Glass Designs. Sea Glass Designs is a lovely little company focused on designing natural sea glass and sterling silver jewelry. Each piece is created using a unique piece of sea pottery, glass or even pebbles that are hand picked from the shores of our beautiful oceans.

Rita Laidlaw is the designer at Sea Glass Designs and she has been collecting sea glass since she was a small girl in Nova Scotia. She has passed down her healthy addiction to her children – making it a fun family business.

You can find Sea Glass Designs in several museums and shop throughout Canada and The United States and in Sea Glass Designs’ online store. Wouldn’t a beautiful piece of jewelry that the ocean helped to make be the perfect holiday gift? I am quite smitten with the Sea Stones Beach Pebble Necklace, isn’t it fabulous?

A huge thank you to Rita at Sea Glass Designs for sponsoring Sweet Greens. Would you like to learn more about becoming a sponsor? If so, please click here.

A Tiny Home in the Woods

October 5, 2010 0

Mr. Sweet Greens wants to build a tiny home in the woods of North Carolina. He loves the idea of living in Florida during the school year and when school is out – head for the hills for the summer. We are planning a upcoming trip to look at property. I really like this little lovely space from Jeffrey S. Broadworth. Doesn’t it look cozy? Can you imagine enjoying dinner with that view?

Are you getting ready for Halloween? Now, that I am home from Cascadian Farm – I want to dedicate this weekend to decorating for Halloween with my boys. I saw these Halloween treats over at Martha Stewart – and really I can’t wait to start baking.

Do you like to make Halloween treats for your family?

Have a Lovely Green Weekend

Hello Everyone. Happy 1st day of October, can you believe the holiday season is just around the corner?

I have finally arrived in Washington and it is just as beautiful as I remember it. Oh, how I have missed the Pacific Northwest. I am snuggling down in bed after a long and exhausting travel day – missing my boys. Especially since tomorrow marks my 11th wedding anniversary with Mr. Sweet Greens. Dear Mr. Sweet Greens, Happy Anniversary, these have been the best years of my life!

This weekend Cascadian Farm is participating in the Skagit Valley’s Festival of Family Farms which I am so excited to be apart of. I am excited to take a tour of the farm with the head organic farmer, Jim. We will also be visiting a nearby fish ladder and visiting all of the nearby property. How fun is that? I only wish that Mr. Sweet Greens and Eben could be here with me to pick pumpkins and go for a hayride. I will take a lot of pictures to share with you next week.

I can’t wait to get home, decorate for Halloween with Eben and make my favorite pumpkin chocolate cookies with him.

What are your weekend plans?

Green Health: Does Your Energy Level Need a Boost?

September 30, 2010 1
Now that the new school year is in full swing and the lazy days of summer seem like a daydream long lost – are you feeling a little burned out and sluggish? If your go-to ways to boost your energy aren’t living up to their potential – try something new. Here are some of my suggestions:

1- Acupuncture: Known to help balance and revitalization of energy levels, Acupuncture is a centuries old practice that can slash fatigue significantly – that is if you can get past the needles.

2- Homeopathic Remedies: There are many homeopathic remedies that can improve your energy levels without sacrificing your health. Consider consulting with a homeopathic practitioner or check out books on homeopathy from your local library.

3- Aromatherapy: You can simply place a few drops of essential oil on a hankie, your pillowcase or in your bubble bath to get the energy improving benefits of aromatherapy. Some of my favorites are peppermint and rosemary.

How about you lovely readers, what energy pick me up do you use?
What has worked? What hasn’t?
