Bar Harbor Favorite: McKays Public House Restaurant
Monday, August 16th, 2010I have a new hands-down favorite restaurant in Bar Harbor, Maine. McKays Public House is a winner any way you look at it! Absolutely delicious food, varied menu including vegetarian and vegan options, relaxing and friendly atmosphere, reasonable prices, gorgeous gardens and both indoor and outdoor seating, (and the best part) and they use organic [...]
Healthy Harvest
Monday, August 9th, 2010One of the benefits of having an awesome backyard (or door-yahd) garden is the copious amounts of veggies that just sit there waiting for you to harvest them. After visiting family and friends in New Jersey for a week, those veggies started to go a little crazy… especially the cucumbers. Today I went out and [...]
A breath of fresh air… and some home-grown veggies!
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010My blog has certainly taken a turn from nature-outdoorsy-crafty-yoga-chick blog to a new-momma-with-a-baby blog, and I apologize to any readers (assuming there are any!) who couldn’t care less whether I dress my darling Maddie in cloth diapers or banana leaves to keep her “compost” from composting our house and yard. For you tree-hugging, natural-living, nature-loving, [...]
Organic Baby Play Mat? A new project!
Monday, March 15th, 2010Maddie has been growing like crazy, and is now uber aware of everything around her. She is just barely starting to reach for and bat at toys, although it’s not yet a controlled and always conscious thing. She is getting to the age, at almost 11 weeks old, where she gets bored after a while [...]
Things You Should NOT Be Putting in Your Mouth
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010I saw this post on the Olive Bites Blog, who saw it on aol news… and I just felt inclined to repost it and pass the info along. After all, as Olive Bites notes, Knowledge is Power! The Endocrinologist Won’t Eat Canned Tomatoes Fredrick Vom Saal, Ph.D., is an endocrinologist at the University of Missouri who [...]
I Love Yogi Tea!
Thursday, February 19th, 2009I LOVE Yogi Tea! I’m not exactly sure what it is about it…. Perhaps it’s the fact that many of them are organic. Or maybe the fact that so far, they are all delicious (the ones I’ve tried). It could be the fact that it’s called “Yogi Tea” and I am eagerly and passionately striving [...]
If I had $100 to spend on Etsy…
Thursday, January 8th, 2009There are many things that I would buy. But right about now, here are my top picks of what I would buy right this instant if I had $100 to spend on Etsy. First and foremost is this fantastic bag by infusion. I’ve been eyeing it for weeks, maybe months (so long that the one [...]
Change your Diet to Change the World
Monday, April 28th, 2008I learned today that I’m somehow subscribed to receive the info blasts from the Organic Consumers Association, which is fine by me! One of the blasts in today’s Organic Byte (#133) was particularly interesting to me. Lately, Garrett has been more and more interested in nutrition and general health, and has been drastically changing his [...]
