We had a very special treat last weekend when we received a load assignment headed to the Carolinas. I have not seen one of my dear friends since she was a blushing bride of 21. Now she and her husband are the happy parents of two little girls with a new baby on the way. And we were headed to their current home town! Check out my friend's blog here: http://www.choosetotestify.blogspot.com/ After a little fancy footwork to get together, the four of us were cozily reunited in their lovely kitchen at midnight. Over homemade whole wheat apple pie, we caught up and swapped stories. The following morning, both husbands headed off to work while we girls (both old and the toddler variety!) enjoyed a relaxing morning. We discussed everything from food allergies and teenage pranks to cloth diapers. I was excited to learn that FuzziBunz are my dear friend's diapers of choice since I've been doing a lot of research, but didn't know anyone who used them. Eventually, we took the girls for a walk around the neighborhood and to the local park. While we searched (and found!) caterpillars and leaves our conversation turned to Richard Louv's book Last Child in the Woods. As a former camp counselor, we often used this book as a basis for the need for children to experience nature. Louv coined the phrase "nature deficit disorder". During a time when so few children do anything, but watch tv and play video games, this book shows the effect of children who have not grown up experiencing the beauty and creavtivity that can be discovered in nature. This book is a powerful reminder of a truth that is embedded in our nature. Not only is it important for a child's physical and mental development that they grow up climbing trees and exploring nature, but it is in nature that children discover God through natural law. There are so many Church teachings on natural law, but the most natural way for a parents to educate their children is by taking them outside to discover the world He has given them to provide for their needs and to experience joy and beauty. It is sooo exciting that I could just babble on! To sum up my thoughts on this way of learning I will share and anecdote about my Grandmother. When we were children, she would point out ever sunset, every flock of geese and every rainbow and then have us make the sign of the cross explaining that it was to remind us that God loves us so much that He made a world full of miracles for us to witness every day. Even as an adult I still think of my Grandmother's reminder each time I witness a sunset or any other simple miracle!

O friozinho chegou! Pelo menos aqui no estado de São Paulo, em especial Botucatu, cidade de ventos gelaaaados (rs). Cachecol, lenços, casacos, luvas, botas... ai, ai, nada mais gostoso e elegante, não é mesmo?! Eu AMO as estações mais frias. A pedido da nossa leitora Pâmela Nunes, hoje vamos falar sobre as polainas. Além de protegerem nossas pernas do frio, dão um toque diferente e charmoso ao look. Você pode formar um look mais sério ou um mais divertido, só tome cuidado para não ficar parecendo que acabou de sair da academia ou da aula de balé. Sapatos que já dão a ideia de estar usando polainas. As polainas podem ser usadas por cima de leggins, calças skinny e meias (de lã ou de seda). Aposte em tons parecidos, procure sempre uma ou mais cores no look e combine a polaina. Se suas peças são todas muito sóbrias, aposte em uma cor mais alegre para as polainas e deixe o look divertido. Nos dias não tão gelados, vale apostar nos vestidos. Fica lindo e super romântico. Você pode colocar uma meia de seda da cor da pele e apostar nas polainas com bota, sapato ou até sapatilhas. Coloque uma jaquetinha por cima e pronto! Existem vários tipos de polainas: de lã, de crochê, as que lembram mais um tecido de meia e etc. As mais grossas, como as de crochê, não ficam muito boas com coturnos e sapatos com o cano um pouco mais alto, nesse caso valem as mais delicadas. Para as meninas mais baixinhas, a combinação da polaina da mesma cor do sapato, deixa as pernas mais longas. Usá-las por dentro da bota só com um pedaço aparecendo em cima, também fica lindo. O QUE COMBINA: Polaina + tênis; Polaina + scarpin; Polaina + bota de cano curto; Polaina + bota de cano longo (por dentro); Polaina + sapatilha; Polaina + oxford; Polaina + coturno; Polaina + cachecol ou xales; Polaina + meia-calça; Polaina + leggins; Polaina + calça skinny; Polaina + vestido ou shorts. São MUITAS as opções e cada uma tem seu estilo, vai de vocês escolherem qual é mais "sua cara". ;) Lembrando que elas podem ser usadas "fofas" perto do tornozelo ou esticadas até o joelho (estilo meia de futebol), mas tome cuidado com o tipo de calçado, nem todos ficam bons com os dois estilos. Inspirem-se nas imagens para não errar! Espero ter ajudado nossa leitora e que vocês tenham gostado do post sugerido. Beijinhos ❤

ECO SHOPPING in VERMONT If you know me, you will agree that one of my quirks is a profound love of thrift shops. I have been haunting these places since I was about 14 or 15 years old. I remember how I discovered that unique, cool stuff could be found in these places, by asking my friend's sister where she bought her [way cool, embroidered gauzy boho/gypsy] shirt? She told me she had purchased it in a thrift shop in Rutland called "Gypsy's". And a star was born.... This paragraph has been edited for clarification: In 2001 to 2003, I was so very, very fortunate to have been hired as the Store Manager at The Second Glance ReSale Shop in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The store (still in operation) supports hunger relief efforts for The Open Door. (Every dollar beyond operating costs supports hunger relief program for Cape Ann) The generosity of that community was beyond wonderful. I bought many items while I worked there, most of which I still own. I loved dickering with people, and I think they loved it, too. I loved this job! If you visit the City of Gloucester, be sure to check out Bananas where you will find a lovely selection of both new and vintage clothing - always clean and pristine. Tell Richard or Debbie that I sent you! :) "The Hunt" - why I love thrift First of all, I have said countless times that to me, "the hunt" is the fun. The challenge. Go ahead into your local mall, and have a look around. Yesterday, I went into the local mall where I found the same styles hung in multiplicity. There was no sense of adventure, no discovery; and, quite frankly, there was nothing unique or interesting. When I shop thrift, it feels as if I can find something that says "me" - almost always in perfect to excellent condition, often with the original tags still on it. Like they say on the television show - you'll never know WHAT will walk through that door. The difficulty of the "hunt" is commonly too many clothes on a rack, jammed in like sardines, but I've been doing this so long, that I can scan a rack, and if the fabric is interesting or catches my eye, I will examine it. I normally won't pull out every article to look at it. Let your eyes do the walking - look around, under racks and against the walls. Open drawers and dig in boxes. Create your own style This is another factor that I truly love about shopping at a thrift or re-store. I think most of my clothing makes a statement about me, and I am frequently complimented on my clothing. At home, I love to show off what I have bought for furniture or goods - and then tell you the price tag. Find something that makes a statement about "you", would be my advise. When you hit it, you hit it. When you don't you don't: Save money Here is the biggest factor about shopping thrift. Go ahead, look online or go into a store for comparison. If you have never done this, it is definitely worth your time. Instead of going into a long diatribe about the obvious, let me just share with you some of my best finds: 4 Solid Mahogany, ornate dining room chairs - total cost? $2.00 each! I found them at an estate sale, in Plainfield, Vermont .(I bought new suede to recover them for about $24.00. Still, worth the price.) 2 over sized red velvet pottery barn chair covers, still in the bag, never opened.. Original price tag $699.00 each (that's $1,398.00 total). I bought both of them for $8.00. Ralph Lauren crocheted vest w/ the tags still on it. Original price? $159.00 - I paid .75 cents, in Saugerties, New York. Large Victorian Chaise Lounge - $40.00 (needed to be reupholstered - that's not a problem for me, I did it my self!) Victorian red velvet covered mini love seat in excellent condition, and did not require reupholstering- $50.00 Hand-Carved Colbalt Salt Glazed Williamsburg pottery vase - .25 cents 2 pairs of Jessica Simpson boots (in the box/never worn) - original price? $198 each. I got them - free, at a church give away. Wilson Leather coat, hooded and lined, tags still on it, never worn - original price tag was $499.00? Yup. I got it Free at the same give away....and an extra bonus was finding another free one for summer time when Russ and I travel on the motorcycle. This was a very short list of things that I have found out hunting, and I maintain my bragging rights! Pass it on My mantra is to pass it on. Who doesn't like to get a bag of clothes from a family member or a friend? Didn't fit? Don't like it after all? Not really your style? Give it away, sell it, or consign it. Pass it on! You are still recycling, and saving. And of course, the 3-R's... Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Open your mind when looking around one of these stores. Like it but not sure? Can you recover it? paint it? glue it? stain it? sew it? Don't let a little laziness let you loose sight of the big picture! Check out some of the amazing "Up-Cycling" that people are doing (pictured below). In my opinion it is a gift to the world, as it's eco-friendly. These crafty and creative people really deserve some credit! If you get sick of stuff, have a yard sale and make a few bucks back. Donate the rest. Just don't bring it back into your house! Rinse, wash, repeat. Up-Cycled Products - Look what YOU can do! Upcycling is cool, in my humble opinion!
