Garden Makers Seed Collections.

It has been so warm here in Colorado for the past couple of days. The sun has been shining and I didn’t even wear a jacket when I went out this morning. I can’t wait until we can start planting our garden. Wouldn’t these garden marker seed collections from Potting Shed Collections be perfect for starting a bird, butterfly, herb or veggie garden?

How about you lovely readers, when do you start to plant your garden?
What are you planning on planting this Spring?

More Camping Love.

Since we are chatting about camping and since I possibly put you in the mood for summer. Here are some Eco friendly camping options that just made me smile this morning. I love all of these options because they are much more compact, use far less gasoline and are sustainably made, compared to the huge diesel pushing class A motor homes.

Tonke Campers are hand built in Holland, which means lots of teak wood, clear glass and chrome. Not to mention that you can just stop anytime to take a nap, or have tea while enjoying the scenery. Plus for some reason, it reminds me of my grandmother. {Love}

Did you know that nearly 70% of all Airstreams ever produced are still on the road? How is that for long lasting? I also love that nearly every piece of an Airstream is recyclable. Plus they are so cute, right?

The EarthRoamer XV-JP is an awesome expedition vehicle built on a Jeep platform. It has solar powered batteries, and a hot water tank, which means showers. Yes, it has a shower and a toilet. When Mr. Sweet Greens sees this, he is going to want it. He loves a Jeep and this would be the perfect excuse to buy one, except for the $110,000 price tag.

Happy Campers

Our family loves, loves, loves to go camping. Ever since the sun started to come out here in Colorado, the sunny 40º weather has us thinking about springtime and camping. Did I just talk about 40º weather as if it we summer? Crazy. Anyhow, since we have several 3 days camping adventures and one 10 day planned so far, we are seriously considering purchasing a camper. The only problem is, we need one that is small enough to be towed by our car, that will fit in our garage, sleeps at least 3 {plus 2 dogs} and it absolutely has to have a shower. Right now, we are leaning towards a pop up camper, but I would love to hear your suggestions.

Lovely readers, can you suggest a camper for my family?
