Gazing balls for your gorgeous fall yard… craft tutorial

Organic Lifestyle / By

“Gazing Balls” just doesn’t sound right, does it? I mean, I have a spam filter and all, but dang. Gazing balls? I almost wrote “Glitter Balls” but oh my goodness that’s worse. So “Gazing Balls” it is. Overlook the name. Ahem. Because this craft is a really fun and simple one to do outside with your children this fall. Everyone loves the cooler weather and the bright, vibrant colors that fall brings, right? Why not capitalize on all this fall freshness and add some sparkle to your fading garden beds, getting them beautiful for the darker, colder winter months ahead. […]

Guest Posting on Delia Creates!

Organic Lifestyle / By

Hello Monday. Today my week starts off to a great start, as I am guest posting on one of my favorite blogs, Delia Creates. She is running my crayon melt tutorial, and I couldn’t be happier! I’ve followed her blog from the very beginning… she and I started our blogs at about the same time, and watching her blog grow and evolve has given me plenty of inspiration to put my heart into my own blog as well. Not to mention she is a fabulous photographer and her crafting and recipes feed the artsy and cozy side of my soul.

Saving Summers Seeds (say that three times fast!)

Organic Lifestyle / By

Remember my tutorial, back in June, about allowing some of your garden fruits and veggies to go to seed and how to harvest and save them for replanting? If enjoy gardening, you’ll take twice as much pride and twice as much pleasure in planting seeds that you’ve saved from your own garden.   Propagating your own garden from your own seeds means you have basically a free garden, assuming you use your own compost for fertilizer. That’s my goal… add one or two new crops to the mix each year, but re-grow my old faves from the previous year’s seed. So

Grape Jelly Time

Organic Lifestyle / By

Around here in SC we are wrapping up grape picking season. You have another week or so to get yourself (and your kids!) out there picking the lovely muscadine grapes that are growing right on the vine. After you come home with them, you’ll want to be sure to make the easiest jelly on earth out of ’em. This is my favorite preserve to make, because there is no hulling, cutting, dicing, getting the seeds out, milling, peeling, etc… that comes along with strawberry jelly, apple jelly, cherry, etc. I guess it’s about equal to making my other favorite preserve,

Thoughts On Health… my fav water filter

Female Health, Healthy Weight, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By

  You all know how I feel about fluoride. I’ve blogged here about why I avoid it in my toothpaste and why I don’t really want to be drinking it, either. In fact, as I get older and have passed the age of peak bone density (and anyone who is over the age of 30 has) I want to preserve bone mass more than ever. I really think it is important that I avoid fluoride altogether (and soy too.) Alas, this is impossible. If you eat food grown from the earth, you consume fluoride. Thanks to the government mass medicating

Recipe: Organic Marinara Sauce from your backyard

Organic Lifestyle / By

  Well, not exactly from *my* backyard… more like from my local farmer’s backyard. As you all know, the tomatoes in my own yard didn’t take off much this year. We had a lovely crop (and it’s still coming!) which gave us enough tomatoes for fresh salads and straight eating this summer, but not enough of a crop for me to can them into sauce. Knowing this, my hubby came home one night after work with three huge baskets full of local fresh tomatoes from John’s Island… Now if you are smarter than me, you will not begin to make

Ode to a blueberry

Healthy Weight, Organic Lifestyle / By

  It’s blueberry season here… get ’em while you can!     My lovely friend the blueberry, how do I love thee? 1. I love thee because you are local and native to our country… the perfect food if you are looking to eat locally and eat healthy. 2. I love thee because you are loaded in fiber, vitamin C, manganese, and vitamin E. 3. I love thee because you are loaded in antioxidants, especially the anthocyanins. 4. I love thee because you can be frozen for storage and still retain full antioxidant powers. 5. I love thee because even
