02/24 Building Our Backyard Structure

We’ve wanted for years to have some sort of backyard structure in our backyard. But it’s been sort of difficult because, first of all, we haven’t the materials to build it, or the absolute know how to build it. We’ve needed an idea to help design it. But, also, the time is an absolute necessity and we have none. So what to do? We decided to have it professionally made.

02/23 Homemade soaps are best to use

I love keeping clean. Who doesn’t, right? But lately… I’ve been researching the products that we use to keep clean and discovered that there are many harmful chemicals in products that we use on a daily basis. Take our shampoos, for instance. There are many dangerous chemicals in common brands of shampoo that are reputed to cause cancer and other dangerous diseases. These chemicals are usually added to make the shampoos lather better or clean better, but at what cost? There are many dangerous chemicals added to soaps and body washes also which is why I recommend using homemade soaps which are free from harmful additives.

02/18 We Added a Pole to Feed the Birds in Our Backyard Garden

My husband and I have little time anymore to maintain a full blown garden, so we downscaled our flower garden to suit our busy lives.  We make time every weekend to go out and maintain our flower garden and relax for an hour or two before our busy day starts.  We decided to add a bird feeder pole to our little garden in order to further enjoy nature on the weekend.  We like what this addition has done so much, that we try to sit out there in the early morning before work and talk as well as in the evening before bedtime.  We have reconnected in many ways by doing this and we are both more relaxed.
