The other day my best friend and I took our kids to this cool garden area in Washington. There are different gardens - like English, herb, veggie, and more, plus a couple of ponds, a forest, fields, bees, greenhouses, and more. The kids had a great time. Actually we’ve been there before and Cedar always […]
I went to my favorite local antique store today to take some photos for an old-stuff feature I’m adding to Junk Creation. I was there an hour or two . . . it blurs.
After that I went to the grocery store. Since I drink way too much water, I decided to stop by the […]
Another place I blog, a green network, RiverWired had this up. This video is way too much fun and reminds me of that tofu video I love.
By the way, if you like green, check out RiverWired, they’ve got green celebrities, green building, green home solutions, gardening, products, eco top ten lists, and more. Plus […]
I have a friend who showed me this rain bowl he made with his kids - an experiment that’s mainly common sense, but it’s not like I would have thought to do it. You might also call this a solar powered water purifier.
This experiment allows kids to see how clean rain happens, even when our […]
In a comment thread of a post the other day, we got a little off topic. The original post is about a cool way to help support families dealing with Autism, but in the comments we started chatting about baby names (weird right). Anyhow, I thought as something a little different and fun we could […]
So, I caught Michael looking at beer can butterflies.
Yeah, weird I thought. Then, wait a minute. It makes perfect sense to pick up trashed beer cans on the street and turn them into butterflies. After all, butterflies are almost magical creatures that go through much change to be what they are.
In his artist’s statement, Paul […]
Yesterday we looked at juice dyes you can make. Today, here’s something to use those dyes for - finger paints.
What you need to gather:
1/3 cup grated natural, organic, pure soap - liquid soap won’t work as well, I tried once, but give it a shot if you like (I could have just messed up). You […]
Hey all, I got a heads up about a cool podcast that I’m sure you’ll want to check out.
The Celsias Show hails from Celsias.com, an international environmental blog, and the goal of the show is to add some edgy humor, fun, and interactive elements to some serious issues like global warming, carbon credits, and more.
The […]
When I was a kid I read this book - I can’t remember the name, but I do remember that it was about a large Jewish family during the depression maybe, which is besides the point, because it was the kooky kids in the book I liked. Anyhow, one of the young girls in the […]
There are all kinds of cool treasure hunts you can try. For Cedar’s fourth birthday we created a nature treasure hunt. The kids loved it, and it got them all outside and out of my house :)
I drew pictures of things you can find outside - if drawing is not your thing, you can cut […]
