Greening the Holidays
December 10, 2008
When I was a kid the idea of giving green gifts was nerdy, weird, and not even really all that possible. My parents tried their best. These days there are tons of options. From wooden toys to sustainably made and recycled products. Here are a few of my favorite toys, and the best local green toy stores. Green Toys - Ever wanted to know where the milk jugs go that you so Read more...

December 09, 2008
It is time for even more reviews from the Books, Toys & More section.

It may be a little bit until solstice still, but when it gets dark outside before you can even make it home it is time to find things to enjoy about the dark. Sometimes you have to be creative when you live up north. Besides, when are you going to have this much dark that doesn't involve breaking bed time rules.

City Guide - Twin Cities - Day 2
July 09, 2008
Well, now that you've done West side of the river, it is time to move East, to the older of the two cities, the one and only Pigs Eye, oh wait, I mean St. Paul. While Minneapolis has that nice grid of streets, we used to joke about the drunken Irishmen that designed the layout of St. Paul, and we most likely weren't far from the trust (about the drunk part).

Backyard Science - Bird Watching
June 11, 2008
The cool spring this year has allowed us to keep the AC off, and the windows open longer than ever before. One of the things I noticed is just how many birds there are in my area. Up north doesn't get nearly the variety we have even here in the TC, so I found a new way to hang the feeder, and I'm on a mission to see how many birds we can find. First, the feeder, at least make an attempt Read more...
I see a bunny - cool clouds
June 05, 2008
All of the recent weather has me thinking about clouds. When I was kid I used to know all of the different kinds of clouds. We're fortunate (depending on how you look at it) here in Minnesota to be able to see pretty much any kind of cloud that there is. M can't identify them yet, but she definitely notices them, and we're talking about them more all the time. Cirrus - The thin Read more...

It is shaping up to be a cool, wet spring and start to summer. M just stands at the window and points at all of the things she would rather be doing, while looking up at us expectantly.
