The PowerPot V + Lithium 4400 Battery Bank Review and #Giveaway

        First and foremost I truly believe we need to start teaching our children how to survive without all the luxuries they have become accustomed to - you just never know what could happen in the future.  This is why I garden year round, sew as many things as I can, make as many of my own products, and use as little energy as I can.  I also teach my kids how to do these things right along side me.

Global Garden Friends Oystershell Garden Pot/Ultimate Plant Cage Review and #Giveaway

        Each year I grow this huge beautiful garden that produces some really great fruit and vegetables in the beginning of the year.  Then towards the middle to end of the summer, I get busy spending my time with the kids or friends.  It never fails, I forget to water my plants one day, one day only and everything goes down hill from there.  The plants somehow slowly begin to die or just don't recover for the rest of the season.

The Birdhouse Chick Bouteille Hummingbird Feeder Review and #Giveaway

        Being such a gardening freak can have its ups and downs throughout the year.  This is mostly due to the fact that I live in Michigan and the weather here sucks throughout the winter.  Each spring I look for new and decorative planters to accent the plants I've started over the winter.  I love adding different wind chimes and decorations to the potted plants as well as around the in-ground gardens.

What's It Like, Living Green? Kids Teaching Kids, by the Way They Live Book Review and #Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

        Do any of us really realize how many of the things we use each day that are not only harmful to the earth but ourselves and our loved ones?  People may not have lived longer lives a couple hundred years ago but in my opinion they lived happier and healthier lives.  Change doesn't happen over night and you'll kill yourself if you try to get rid of everything potentially harmful in one day.
