Our home life in pictures

Eve has taken to pouring water on the floor and then "swimming" in it.

Our poor deprived children have to resort to pretend ice cream cones.

Yummy ...

This one kinda says it all

Yes, if it weren't for Eve's hand in the foreground you would never know that was a person.

Housekeeping tips from a worm wrangler

My older sister Cynthia recommended this book to me and it is fantastic. The author is actually an organic gardener so her take on housekeeping is that you set up your indoor "ecosystem" so that it requires as little work as possible, allowing you to get outside and do what you really enjoy doing.

Here are several things that have changed in our household as a result of reading this book:

threw out all our plastic cutting boards and bought another wood one

cleared kitchen counters to the bare minimum

started using white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide for ALL household cleaning

started using castile soap for everything but the dishes

using apple peels, lemon and salt instead of toxic metal polishes
