The next Seacoast Eat Local Farmer's Market is Saturday at Wentworth Greenhouse in Rollinsford. I love the Rollinsford Market, and am excited to see what the farmer's have for us this week. Since I started going to the Farmer's Markets I've wanted to make myself some reusable bags. I use reusable bags, but they are [...]

I shall again sing the praises of those little Ancona egg machines. If you don't have chickens, but want a couple in the back yard, this breed is brilliant. While reading [...]

When I was in college I went through a period of time where I enjoyed reading biographies. One that touched me greatly was Amy Carmichael: Let the Little Children Come. She was a woman with an intense love for children, and did amazing things for children in India, especially for girls who would have otherwise lived [...]

We are avid public library visitors. Mostly Mini and Husband, at this point, while I have them picking up a lot of inter-library loan selections. Since we value the Library we try to support it outside of the tax money that we already "donate". So when the librarian sent out a request for prizes/gifts for [...]
Update on the children’s products laws January 8, 2008

I commented a few days ago about writing to my Senator and Rep about concerns with a new law going into effect February 10. Changes have begun to take place and it looks like a good start. Products made with natural materials such as wood and cotton will not be needing testing. Great. They are [...]

I had my first vegetable garden this year. We were quite successful and learned a lot. I LOVE tomatoes fresh from the garden. Fresh green beans [...]
