Give A Little Green

Do not litter~ Train your self and teach your children to pick up after themselves and throw trash away. Also, pick up any litter that you may come across.

Lights out ~ Turn off the lights when you leave a room and remind your kids to do the same. In the day time let in light from outdoors shine through!

unplug~ unplug any electric items NOT being used, saves electricity and increases fires in the home.

Turn it down~ adjust your thermostat a few degrees, run fans!

Save water~ wash full loads of dishes and full loads of clothing. Make sure that facets are not dripping and that toilets are not running.

Recycle~ magazines, newspapers, cans, glass and more. Get your whole family involved and reward them at the end of the month with an ice cream or a sweet treat.

Get crafty~ Going green can inspire your kids' creativity. Use unused items around your home for art crafts. Such as shoe boxes, toilet paper rolls, old magazines and so on.

~ Give a little green and care for your world!

Spring Is In The Air

Spring is in the air! Here in Texas, we have had some bazaar days in our daily weather forecast. One day, we are enjoying the bright warm sun ,wearing spring clothing, and the next day cloudy and cool with cool crisp winds and heavy rains, and we are back in winter clothing or at least wearing a sweater.
Being that it is Spring Break time, we have really enjoyed these warm and sunshine filled days. The days are longer now and more pleasant for families to enjoy the great outdoors . We have been outside playing with the children,enjoying taking walks and picnics, time is spent also working the land, and now getting the garden ready for planting. Although, we here can not plant much, we are expecting at least one more freeze.
Spring time has to be the most blessed time of all! I love to see everything growing new leaves and wild flowers starting to cover our Texas grounds. In Texas, everyone is in waiting for the beautiful Bluebonnets to cover our countryside! In the country, the cattleman have new calves to tend to, and just all the new creations on this Earth are taking place. It is amazing to watch the wonders of this fine world.
My little sweet children are dressed in pretty pastel colors and enjoying mother nature. My little girls planted seeds yesterday for some wild flowers that they had picked out, it will be fun to watch them grow together and also to pick together as they gather their pretty bouquet of flowers......
