And I've used it twice...and am IN LOVE. </p> <p>Do you have any tried and true green smoothie combinations that you love? So far, I've tried a frozen fruit blend + kale - any other recommendations? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earth-day-fun#post-735145 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:53:14 +0000 Dandelion 735145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: That looks like fun! I'm book marking that so that DS and I can put it on our to do list for the summer. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earth-day-fun#post-734128 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:15:52 +0000 T-Mom 734128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: We actually made paper using a kit that came with DD's Kiwi Crate. I have been totally planning to cancel the subscription, but keep forgetting, and this month they came up with an awesome box for Earth Day. It came with a paper making kit. DD loved it. To do it without a pre-made kit, it is a bit more involved, but here is a great tutorial.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mommy-labs.com/creative-kids/art_craft_projects_kids/how-to-make-recycled-handmade-paper-inlaid-with-leaves-and-petals/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mommy-labs.com/creative-kids/art_craft_projects_kids/how-to-make-recycled-handmade-paper-inlaid-with-leaves-and-petals/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earth-day-fun#post-733928 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 10:02:51 +0000 Dandelion 733928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That paper bowl is cool!</p> <p>How did you make paper?</p> <p>I have no doubt that DS will come home from school with some sort of activity that he dd today in Kindergarten. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earth-day-fun#post-733920 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 09:59:47 +0000 MaisyMay 733920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm running an Earth Day promo at work this week, but other than that, we aren't doing anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earth-day-fun#post-733912 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 09:56:25 +0000 T-Mom 733912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy Earth Day! Is anyone doing anything fun to celebrate Earth Day this year? </p> <p>I did a few crafts with DD using recycled paper. We made our own paper, and she also made a bowl out of scraps from our recycle bin. <a href="http://www.kiwicrate.com/projects/Pretty-Paper-Trinket-Bowl/2009" rel="nofollow">http://www.kiwicrate.com/projects/Pretty-Paper-Trinket-Bowl/2009</a></p> <p>I love this holiday/celebration so I'm trying to think of other fun things to do to teach the kids about caring for the Earth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-2#post-602033 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 16:42:56 +0000 Boheme 602033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: We definitely will!

We're going to give heirloom tomatoes a try this year. You HAVE to try them if you've never had them. They look funky but man they are out of this world! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-2#post-601809 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 16:06:58 +0000 Boheme 601809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: Those are all on my list, plus okra!

I'm obsessed with them! I would eat slices of them drizzled with balsamic and basil leaves for dinner all last summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-2#post-601725 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:56:28 +0000 StbHisMrs 601725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use to have a gorgeous little veggie garden and an herb garden at my old house. We don't have room where we are now, so we use a bed in my Mom's garden. I do have some peppers, and tomatoes in my flower beds. I'm going to try some potted basil and herbs too, they didn't work well last year. </p> <p>We have great luck with zucchini, cucumbers, pumpkins, green beans, tomatoes, peppers, and corn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-2#post-601710 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:54:39 +0000 Mrs.Someone 601710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do! I agree to go to your local nursery and ask what grows well in your area. Also, the Square Foot Gardening books are a good start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-2#post-601697 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:53:22 +0000 Sweet T 601697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but I would love to have one! We aren't allowed to dig so I don't think it would be worth it. I may start a little herb garden soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-2#post-601683 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:52:13 +0000 PurplePumps 601683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tomatoes and string beans grow like weeds in our garden! Thats the only thing we've tried so far. We're going to try bell peppers and maybe zucchini this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-2#post-601673 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:50:58 +0000 regberadaisy 601673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your best bet is to go to a local nursery and pick their brain for what grows well in your region.<br /> Generally speaking tomatoes are usually fool proof!</p> <p>We had a veg garden at our last house and plan to start one at our new home this summer. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-2#post-601590 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:38:11 +0000 chanzi 601590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Basil is the only thing I've been really successful with. I buy my seedlings at the farmer's market too since I'm too lazy to start it from seed, but it's still cheaper than buying pesto! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-2#post-601578 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:35:37 +0000 Bao 601578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: haha I will probably end up with a jacked up piece of yard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-2#post-601543 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:26:54 +0000 Alivoo01 601543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope because I can't grow/keep anything alive! =( I wish I could because I'd love an herb garden! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-2#post-601234 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:38:23 +0000 Boheme 601234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I wish my mom and dad lived closer! My dad has a scary plethora of organic gardening knowledge...Our whole yard was edible when I was a kid. I've found a lot of resources on Pinterest, but its not the same as having someone show me in person! I hope we don't just end up with a jacked up patch of yard :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-2#post-600970 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:54:54 +0000 Bao 600970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are starting our very first garden this year too, but we are also clueless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-garden-2#post-600960 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:52:32 +0000 Boheme 600960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a garden? DH and I are planning our first vegetable garden this year! We are excited but clueless. We've started the prep-work and have been reading a lot. If you have/had a garden, what do you grow in it?

Are you doing owls too?<br /> I really wanted him to have lots if bright colors and so far he seems to love yellow! He stares at it for quite awhile </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-should-i-make-his-crib-skirt#post-184647 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 12:02:54 +0000 lemondrop 184647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the chevron, and especially the owls! You can't go wrong with any of them, but I love the owls...</p> <p>By the way, hello, follow all! I love your style :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-should-i-make-his-crib-skirt#post-184644 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 11:58:31 +0000 loveisstrange 184644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted the yellow with the green chevron as the accent. I don't think the owl fabric works particularly well and looks a little too busy with the others for my taste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-color-should-i-make-his-crib-skirt#post-184576 Sun, 10 Jun 2012 10:34:21 +0000 cyneswith 184576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With the type of crib skirt you are planning, I think the yellow dot as the main would work best. The chevron would look kind of neat as the accent in that pattern. I like the owls, but I don't think it would work as well in that pattern (too busy for main, and the chevron echoes the shape of the accent so well.)</p> <p>I think it'd be too busy with the chevron as the main fabric. </p>
