Thursday, June 11th, 2009I’ve mentioned Planet Bike in passing before, but I think it’s time to show them some direct affection. First off, they make really great bike accessories including headlights, taillights, fenders (mine are yellow!), computers and ping pong balls (I’m confused)– all of which helps us bike safer and happier, which is good stuff. But do [...]
How Much Space Do You Need?
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009I was reading an interesting article at Treehugger called “Downsizing Your Home: How Much Space Do You Really Need?” this week and wanted to pose the same question to you all, Tiny Choosers! See, I just moved from my cute 1BR apartment with a small storage space into a quite large house – it’s just [...]
Going Vegan(ish)
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009Holy moly, has it really been three months since I wrote my post stating my intention to go vegan for a month? Seems like this entry is two months overdue! I guess time flies when you’re not eating dairy… It’s been quite an interesting ride. I’ll spill the beans upfront and tell ya’ll that I [...]
Lovely DIY Briefcase
Monday, June 8th, 2009I came across this link for a DIY Briefcase a couple of months ago, while I was packing to move, and it was so timely. See, I have this thing where I don’t like to throw away boxes. If I buy something that comes in a box, it’s easy for me to just store the [...]

Easy Peasy Tip: Talk
Saturday, June 6th, 2009While it’s never good manners to blab on to people about subjects they’re not interested in, there’s also something to be said for introducing folks to subjects which may be new to them. So the next time you find yourself talking with a friend or family member, or making small talk at an event, try [...]

How to poison my Poison Ivy
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009I’ve just moved to a lovely new home and I have a great new giant YARD to play in. Yay! Unfortunately, after living for so long in relatively wild-less areas (NYC, then residential Pittsburgh, and then residential NJ), I’m really kind of at a loss for how to deal with some of the challenges this [...]
Homemade Nut Milks
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009Apropos of earlier conversations we’ve had about homemade soy & nut milks, Karina sent me this link today titled “Make Your Own Organic Almond Milk for Pennies” — an appealing title if ever there was one! And it reminded me that I’ve recently been making my own almond milk, but have neglected to write about [...]
Washcloths Saved!
Monday, June 1st, 2009Thank you all for your help on my recent post about how to save my nasty, oily, and slightly dirty washcloths! They were dingy, greasy from use, and just couldn’t get clean again. After I posted back in early May, I piled all of the washcloths up near the laundry and just thought about washing [...]
