Sweet Stuff mid spring
May 18, 2009
We're celebrating a sweet someone's birthday this Monday, a few days early because of a camping trip that coincides with the real "birth" day. Hope this finds you enjoying the sweetness of May.
Mama Speak
- Impossible Things & Breakfast A little inspiration for your day.
- I've been enjoying Graceful Creative's Living Mindfully posts. Trying to do that more often.
- Laundry Line Lesson, it's not just about drying the laundry.
Homeschool
- Getting it All Done, a great post on homeschool schedules and routines (by the way I don't get it all done!)
- Take some time at 5 Orange Potatoes for more outdoors inspiration. Lovely blog.
- All natural homemade playdough, wonder if you could use beet juice for pink?
Urban Homestead
- One ripped bedsheet: What I wish I could do with an old sheet if my machine didn't stitch in reverse. (getting it fixed - can't live without our machine).
- Paradise Unpaved Now that is a lovely driveway.
- I make almost all of our soap and body care products but this recipe for homemade deodorant is definitely next on the list. Thanks Creative Kismet for this link.
- I want to find myself some of these vintage beauties. Seems I'm not the only one wanting to get rid of the plastic in my kitchen.
Neighborhood
- Going a-Maying I'm a little late for this year, but I suppose anytime is a good time to leave flowers on your neighbor's doorhandles.
Gallery
- Ready, Set, Grow. Umbrella Blog pulls together some great inspirational photography links.
- A field of buttercups In case I haven't mentioned it recently I love yellow.

Hi Renee,
I'm off to read about your family's journey into camping, but I wondered if you read Simple Kids? They are starting a book group in June for Last Child in the Woods. I know you liked it, and I'm sure they would love your participation! Here's the link:

Camping? What is the youngest you took your kids camping? My husband wants to take the kids (5 & 3) but I think we've decided to camp in the backyard this summer, as a beginning. I know that camping will be an activity that they will LOVE.
Thanks for the linkage!

Ah camping... it's a huge part of our family identity but at one time, when the kids were younger we wondered if we'd do it all. You can read all about our journey into camping & adventure. Your children are definitely not too young to camp, the sooner you start the better! We were camping with our kids when they were this age.
