Sometimes, getting the kids outdoors takes a little... persuading.
With that in mind, I've rounded up a few "citizen scientist" projects for us to participate in as a family this spring. Hopefully, these will motivate us to spend more time outside…

I keep my recycling in my bags, and drop off the recycling on the way to the store!
My husband hates seeing the bags of recycling lined up, so he very helpfully "reminds" me that the recycling wants emptying.

- Hi Robin. I totally get what you are saying about moving past the basics. I also feel that it's time to do a little more than just recycle and keep our streets and parks clean. I am taking one step at a time to do more. Recently I've become an eco-consultant to help those who haven't been as environmentally aware. I am still learning something new everyday and all I can say is it's a good think I enjoy challenges. It's overwhelming trying to remember everything!

I Have a Phone Book. I Do Not Need Another Phone Book.
Straddling the border of three states, I have three phone books. I have never once used these phone books to look up a telephone number; that is what Google is for. Rather, I use them to press flowers, as a cutting surface when using an exacto knife, as a weight to straighten curling… Continue

A Bird in Hand
What a difference a year makes.
This time last year, my husband could not fathom what had come over me. Why did I feel the need to bake my own bread, clean with vinegar, hang the laundry, plan a vegetable garden, feed the birds and squirrels? In an effort to show by contra… Continue
