A typical day, now days

Juicing for breakfast. This day it was apple/carrot juice.

We pack up for a walk to the "park"-a large tree with a decent patch of grass underneath :)

Load her up in her Ergo!

At the park with some green juice.

Playing with her Under the Nile carrot.

Lots of this.

Sometimes we paint.

She doesn't quite understand the concept yet.

I carry her around as I clean the house.

We take lots of naps together as well.

Here are some of her bedtime stories.

And then we sleep. Goodnight world!

sunshine and rain makes my plants happy

I try to juice daily, but some days I can't find the time. If I want to juice I have to remember to wake up early enough before work to give myself time to wash the veggies, juice, and then clean the juicer. I love kale/apple juice. It's one of my favorite combos. I also like to make this one because my husband will drink it and enjoys it. Bonus!

I am so proud of my mini garden. I live in a small townhouse so space is limited. Here I have thyme, dill, Thai sweet basil (still small), chamomile (still small), and catnip. I cannot tell you how much my cats love fresh catnip. It makes a huge difference to give them freshly dried catnip as apposed to store bought catnip that has been sitting there for months.

My spearmint and peppermint always do awesome when it rains. They crave water and like the shade under my air conditioner. I am trying to grow my toothache plant in the black pot there. It has sprouted, but it won't get any bigger. I don't know what to do to help it out.

I think I may have solved the problem of the birds eating my Purple Cauliflower. Chicken wire! Who knew that birds would like such a thing? Every time the sprouts start to get big they get chomped by the birds. Maybe it is the purple stems that attracts them, I don't know. My Bennings Green Tint Scallop Squash is growing higher and higher. No sign of any squash yet. My Manoa Lettuce in the front always grows up fast when it rains too :)
