This year my goal is to grow 2,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables. I think I can do it. With 16 raised garden beds, a greenhouse, a raspberry patch and a few more planting beds sprinkled throughout our property, I believe growing 2,000 pounds of food is an attainable goal. Even if I do Read More >>

Alright, listen up. Now through Wednesday night at {12:59 EST} you can score 140 FREE address labels from Vistaprint. You do have to pay a shipping fee of $3.50, but I think it’s totally worth it. C’mon, get creative and add a little spice to your labels. You can choose from thousands of designs, or Read More >>

My neighbor Francisco made these the other day and let me have a few to take home. And guess what? They were so stinkin’ good I had to whip up another batch. These pumpkin chocolate chip bars were a HUGE hit at my house {and we are not even vegan}. I’m telling you, these Read More >>

Before I headed over to Francisco’s house the other day to barter, I stopped by my neighbor Mrs. Active Wear’s house. Now the one thing you have to remember about living in high maintenance suburbia is, not everyone wants to barter with you {with or without the camera video present}. My neighbor Mrs. Active Wear is pretty Read More >>

This morning I headed out to the pumpkin patch and pulled all the remaining pumpkins. We’ve had so much rain up here in the Seattle/Tacoma area lately, I was worried the pumpkins would start to rot before the kids could harvest them this weekend with their friends.

It’s been over 6 months now since I got up the nerve to ask my local produce market for their scraps. What a life changer. I wish I could go back in time to when the Handsome Husband and I were first married, and didn’t have an extra dime in our pockets. If I had Read More >>

My goal this week is not to spend a dime at the grocery store. This of course means I’ll be doing a lot of bartering with my neighbors. Last night I showed up on my neighbor Francisco’s doorstep and asked if he wanted to barter with me. Francisco is a vegan, so I wasn’t sure Read More >>

Last week I traded my neighbor Francisco one of my Hubbard squashes for some of his homemade {vegan} chocolate chip pumpkin cookies. Yesterday when I was over at his house bartering with him yet again, he offered me a bowl of Hubbard squash soup. It was so delicious that I just HAD TO HAVE his Read More >>
