    I have spent hours and tried various ways of making these boogers.  Kailey did these last year in her botany class with our homeschool group.  I found her page of tiny skeletons and thought these would make a great addition to fall.  I’ll modge podge them to something I’m sure, but for now they are in between two panes of glass in a frame on the mantle.  Anyway~  this ‘recipe’ is the only one out of a million that have

  Usually when I am setting up our nature table for a new month, I am thinking about how the upcoming month is reflected in nature. I am remembering what gifts nature had given to us the years before and wonder what gifts might be new to us this year. What we will see, hear, smell, touch, and taste throughout the month? As I changed the nature table from July to August I thought about how enjoyable it is to pick

  With its unique design and ground-breaking technology, the Skyplanter by Patrick Morris allows you for the first time to grow plants upside down inside your home. With a Skyplanter you only need to water your plants once a month. Its internal reservoir system feeds water directly to the roots, so no water evaporates or drips and the soil is locked in so there’s no mess. And what a great way to conserve water! What’s more, as it’s suspended from your ceiling, it

  Eco gifts: beautiful pear terrarium I don't know about you, but when I see things I like I make a mental snapshot to put in my mental "I'd Like to Have This Someday" list. So imagine with me, you are walking through the Tuesday Morning Close-Out Store, picking through all of the stuff in the bins. You move to let someone pass in the narrow isle, when you spot..... YES!!!! I did a double take. It was a moment where I

  I love a centerpiece that grabs attention and gets a reaction – especially from my children. Whether you are having a large group for dinner or simply having a friend over for tea it is so easy and fun to create a little something different for the moment you share together. Wheatgrass is grown in a 5-inch cast iron skillet that I picked up for a few dollars at a resale shop. Place soil and seeds in skillet, keep moist and in

  Fall is one of those seasons that just happens for everyone at a certain moment.  For me, last year, it was just something in the air.  This year, it happened to be the turning of the calendar to my favorite month of September. I was playing in the park with my girl a few weeks ago, and noticed the beauty of the fallen leaves from a nearby magnolia tree.   It was instant inspiration!  Up close, I loved the shape and caramel

  //  DIY Nature Pendant Necklace Jewlry making It occurred to me after we were already driving home that we probably shouldn't have taken a few of the acorns we found on our trail hike.  At the minimum we probably broke some sort of nature center law and/or etiquette about leaving nature exactly as we had found it.  Aside from rule breaking though, we probably caused a squirrel to have to work a little harder for his meal that day, which does make

  Fall Wreath  Since the weather is starting to change, I decided to slowly start adding fall decor.  I've started with my front door.  I found a grape vine wreath at the thrift store and ripped all the old decor off.  It was horrible.  I should have taken a before pic.  I added some faux leaves, gourds, and pumpkins from the dollar store.   I think mine looks a lot like the Pottery Barn Harvest Fruits Wreath.  No way am I paying $89.50 for
