Earth Day!

This picture is from a very cool book that we own Earth From Above

So...today being Earth Day, I thought it would be fun to find out what each of us do to be green.

~Do you use "earth friendly" cleaners?

~Do you recycle?

~Do you take your own bags to the grocery store?

~Do you garden naturally?

~Do you still use paper towels?

There are so many more things...share how you are"going green"!

Lucy and Friends

Lucy had her two friends from school, Camryn and Sophia, over for a playdate. This was her first time having TWO friends at the same time...playdates are definitely different with Girls than they are with Boys!

An Artful way to display my jewelry~

I recently did a little "re-do" with my jewelry.

I had watched a Tracy Porter video, where she used different vessels to hold lots of her jewelry....so I took all my jewelry out of the boring jewelry box....and I found a couple of old silver trays and piled in lots of bracelets...a cool small dress form now holds all of my necklaces ( I love them all piled on top of each other)...and just yesterday I found this cute little silver 3 tier tray to hold all my cocktail rings and dangle some earrings off of...I love how artful and interesting it looks now, and I feel like I am shopping when I am picking out my jewelry!

Cooking with Lucy...her video debut!

Lucy LOVES cooking videos and cooking shows. The only thing she watches on tv is The Food Network, and Ina, the Barefoot Contessa is her absolute favorite. Tracy Porter has also put some cooking videos on her blog and Lucy loves watching them!

So...it seems only natural that Lucy would be ready to create her own! This was our very first un-edited video...enjoy!

Need a little COLOR??

....on your body? I LOVE to be tan. I love the way I feel when I am tan, but my days of BAKING in the sun are over. I admit when I am on vacation I do lay in the sun because it feels so good. Of course, as I have gotten older I am much more conscience of using sunsreen and wearing a hat to protect my face.

Here in the Northwest, you could tend to look a little "pastey" ...so this is my "go to" spray tan! I have used quite a few, but I love this one. It really is practically mistake proof, the spray is so fine, and the color gradual. The lastest version has a new spray tip that I think is going to make it even better!

I, of course, do not use spray tan on my face...so to give myself a little color there as well, I love to use a bronzer. I am a big fan of Bare Escentuals and their Warmth is my favorite...a little goes a LONG way, so this jar last a really long time!!

So....if you're feeling like you need a little color, give these a try!

"Teeing Up"

The Easter Bunny brought Lucy a baseball tee...after Church she could not wait to get out there and play some ball!!
