Low-waste gift baskets can be beautiful and functional too. Make a food basket with reusable jars of homemade food and arrange it all in a handy organizer container. Brown paper can be composted or used in the fireplace.

Whether you live in a tiny home or RV, or you just want to scale down holiday decorations, a small Christmas tree can be beautiful, meaningful & sentimental.
Come see how we really made our small tree shine!

Years ago I started exploring a more eco-friendly way wrap gifts. You know, one where we could still enjoy the festivity and fun colors but could also be easier on the environment (and our budget!)
Every household is different but here’s what we do. It works beautifully for us.

We’re PROUD to be American! For all our fellow Americans, enjoy your holiday, your family, your cookouts and the beautiful fireworks y’all.
Happy Birthday America!

In January many people make New Year’s Resolutions; lose weight, save money, pay off debt, etc. Sadly most New Year’s Resolutions won’t even see the end of January. The main reason is because they include no plan for action. “I resolve …to lose weight” is a great resolution, but a better one would be “I resolve to exercise on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for 1 hour per day”.
I like to make New Year’s Resolutions, although I call them goals. I make goals in several categories and then lay out steps to attain those goals. For instance “Expand the Garden” might be followed with the steps to attain that goal such as “add three new rows at east end of garden” and “Make trellis for climbing beans and cucumbers” If I have clear steps to attain my goals I’m much more likely to be successful.
What are your goals for 2013?

Our church is hosting a “Trick or Trunk” for the kids tonight. RancherMan & I will be dressing as a cowboy and a cowgirl to hand out candy to the local children.. I always enjoy seeing the little cuties all dressed up. Hope you’re enjoying your day today as well. BOO!
