When we took Ayla for a walk this morning, we grabbed a couple of Tupperware containers and carrying bags so we could raid the blackberry bushes near our standard walking area. We picked for about 30 minutes I guess, canvasing a pretty large area of berry bushes and...
Some of the baby gear we still have to get…
I haven't written much about the nursery or what we're planning to do in there...so I figured I would post a few links to the furniture, bedding and so on that we've picked out from IKEA. Yes, IKEA. Not too original on our behalf but the value for money still can't be...
We’re going to need to inspect that
We got a notice in the mail this week from our local government, informing us that we need to call them to make an appointment for someone to come out and inspect our "Fäkaliensammelgrube" (fecal matter collection pit.) Apparently this is some sort of backlash from...
Make your own organic rooting hormone
We have found that taking a cutting from a tomato plant is quite simple and it roots really easily. But we'd like to do other plants as well and sometimes a rooting hormone would be useful. No need to worry about buying some expensive chemicals or organic something...
Why everyone needs a Freecycle account
Around a month ago, I put out a "searching for" request on Freecycle for canning jars. I'm part of about 5 local groups here within a 45 minute driving range but there has rarely been anything I've wanted from these lists. There was a sequoia tree once which I thought...
But those were MY apples!
Hey dogsters! I hope you are looking forward to the weekend as I am. I love it when both of my humans are home to love on me and drive crazy! I just have to vent a little about something weird they did last night... A few days ago, mom & dad took a bag with them...
Recycling old candles
We weren't really feeling like doing anything too physical today so we decided to try something else new - recycling a big basket of bits and pieces of candles that was left in the house when we moved in. We've thought about doing this for a while, but never really...
The moistest zucchini bread ever
When the zucchini bread really begins to pile up, this is a great way to get rid of it. Plus, you can also grate a bunch of zucchini bread at once (preferably with a food processor), bag it in 2 cup portions and then have zucchini ready for baking and cooking with all...
Only the Dutch
We had a totally new experience today. We went shopping at an outlet center in Europe for the first time. There are a few in Germany that we've driven by or heard about, but we never felt inspired to go to any. If we heard from people about going to them, the response...
On the upcoming menu…
You may notice an abundance of zucchini during the first few days of this menu list. That's because we have started getting some from our own plants and I actually bought some the other day in fear that ours wouldn't be ready. Doh. Plus I was asked by a neighbor if we...
