easter in the mullies & happy earthy day!

to the mullies we go!

wait... don't jump.  that water's too freakin cold still.

here's our easter recap starting with the day before festivas...

the day before easter = flour making day... i had the white stuff all over my face 48 cups later. thankfully, christina came over and dusted my nose off.

that sounds super bad.

we made naturally dyed eggs for the first time.

here is the sweet "how to" link from another local mom who made a successful food change to help her child with ADHD and subsequently found jamie oliver's food revolution loooong before i even did:

but mom said: dye free easter eggs

cool your dye off.

chris thought so while trying to match up eggs.

minions are my favorite.

batman forever.

yes, we eat sweets & put stickers on our face.  the best quality we can get our hands on...

i like to dress up all classy like.

my parents, kiddos grandparents, our next door neighbors = riot

making "wentel tee-fingers!"

75 degree easter = driveway beach party

today's earth day = don't forget to water my seedlings.  i am growing a bigger garden this year.

Started my seedlings a few weeks ago to try my hand at growing some lettuce varieties, herbs & cherry tomatoes!  Here is my indoor greenhouse tray on windowsill!  All organic seeds & soil matter:)  My husband hopes to start building outdoor planters for me soon.  See those little green sprouts already?  Whooo hoooooo!

Since our food change in Jan, I have great news to report!  He is OFF of his blood pressure meds, has had no headaches in a couple of months, is down 41lbs and bought all new pants last week... from a 36" waist to a 32"!!!!!  What success all around.  Thanx for all your information along the way.  It really helped.

holy mackerals you two hotties... i am so impressed and so inspired - i think i am going to start a cooking herb garden this summer.  i'm really needing to cut back on the amount of flowers i get (can't bust my budget) and perhaps that could be a great way to cut back on spending all around!

gotta shine up my green thumb, it's been in mittens for toooooooo long...  bye bye chicago winter!!!

i am loving this link on edible gardening tips.  cheers to getting dirt in our fingernails and the new adventures of eating what we grow.  i can't hardly wait:)

lovely links to gardening and avoiding pesticides

and one of my favorite programs e.v.e.r:

the edible schoolyard project

off to play in the sunshine... it's my birthday today and i have to say, each year that passes by is better than the last...  lucky lucky lady i am
