We’ve all heard how important it is to eat a diet high in roughage. Likewise, “roughaging” (spending time outdoors) is essential to our mental health. Even if it’s a settee on the porch, we need it, gotta have it. I aim to be the reason you pulled your bedding out the back door last night.
By 9:30 a.m. this past Sunday morning, we had already boxed up our Halloween decorations, trimmed the house in Thanksgiving décor, and begun tackling the mess that is our craft/guest room. With each season, my poor hubby diligently piled boxes and boxes of ornamentation for me to ooh and aah over and place in the perfect corner. And … well … my craft room had bits and pieces from the last five holidays/events strewn about.
Impressed with ourselves, hubby and I sat down with both girls to have a little morning snack. Why were we so famished at 9:30 a.m. anyway? We’d eaten a good breakfast, hadn’t we??
Maybe it was because …
Terry Steinmetz says: With an extra hour in a day, I think I would take a walk, too. Or read a book…or nap…or sew something for the grandgirls…well, there are too many options!!!
Meg says: sewing/crafting is my other choice too. 😉 Especially with my newly organized craft room.
Winnie Nielsen says: I agree with others that I would find time for an activity that normally would not have happened. On the flop side, the 23 hour day in spring really throws my schedule off and adjusting seems so much harder.
Michelle Kinsella says: What a beautiful place you live!!!!!! And the girls and dog are nice too!!
Okay, so maybe the Beau Coop Heritage Hen Mini Farm isn’t at the top of your holiday wish list …
Maybe you’re a little more of a mover?
A shaker?
A go-for-the-gold
gussied-up

If ritzy road-tripping is your ultimate fantasy,

Ain’t she a beauty?
They call her the Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Woody-Tailgate Trailer.
It’s a mouthful, I know, but this little towable treat is worth it.
E-V-E-R-Y penny …
Terry Steinmetz says: You’ve got to be kidding!?!
Winnie Nielsen says: When I saw this on the CNN listing , I had the same exact reaction. Are you kidding me??? Think how much those dollars could do for kids in need at our public schools, soup kitchens, emergency food pantries, or maybe underwriting a new and deserving entrepreneur! Knowing that people will actually buy this thing is both disgusting and tragic. We can do better.
