I’ve added a few new features to Musings of a Housewife that I hope will be helpful. Over the weekend I created a Whole Foods Resources page that is a great place to start if you are interested in learning more about the whole foods lifestyle. I also compiled my design tutorials into [...]

You MUST read about Kristen’s trip to Kenya with Compassion International. Go back and read them all.
Making a case for keeping laptops out of the classroom — Philly.com. I’ve never been a fan of having computers in the classrooms. This fellow’s observations are profound and should be duly noted, although I doubt there is [...]

Fashion Friday: Denim Edition

March 12, 2010

There are three fashion items that I could own in unlimited quantities: handbags (duh!), shoes, and jeans. Right now I’m on a denim kick. It all started when my husband told me to go out and buy a couple new pairs of jeans because he’s sick of hearing me say that mine are tight in [...]

Top Ten {Reasons I Don’t Garden}

March 9, 2010

Someone asked me in a recent post that I wrote about doing real food on a budget why I’ve never talked about growing your own vegetables as an option.
Growing your own veggies is a GREAT option, but it’s not usually on my radar because I don’t exactly garden. It’s on my list of things to [...]
