  • Kale Chips At Long Last!

    Yippee, I popped into the vegetable market and when I spied kale on the shelves I was beside myself, as this was quite honestly one of the things that was really missing in my life…..so now I can relax and start giving my family salads and other foods packed with the number one most nutritious…

  • Mason Jar Bouquet With A Lidded Mason Jar!

    Sure, everyone knows about using mason jars as vases for casual bouquets, but how about lidded mason jars, which have a fun rustic character all their own? And here's the big idea: one could certainly place a table number or a sweet message within the lid which hangs off to the side! Let me know…

  • Crocheted Giant Doily Rug In Two Colors, And Pattern Corrections!

    Isn't this crocheted giant doily rug made with two colors of t-shirt yarn just gorgeous? I can say that since while it is my pattern, it's not my ingenuity, the two color idea that is! This is the work of Liat, who blogs in Hebrew about her crochet love, here. And the two color idea…

  • Shoebox Carnival Toss Craft For Kids

    I'll admit, I made this shoebox carnival toss craft for my eight year old, but kids just a bit older can certainly make one themselves, with help from an adult in the last step — cutting out the holes. It's apricot season which means that it's "go-go" season at school, meaning boys of all ages…

  • Greek Yogurt Smoothie With Fruit….Delicious and Nutritious!

    Greek yogurt is all the rage in the US, and touted at the healthiest dairy source, so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and introduce it to my family, especially since I'm all in favor of consuming dairy products made using goat's milk, and greek yogurt is one of them! I whipped up this…

  • Fingernail Polish Crafting: Magnets!

    Crafting with fingernail polish is so much fun, and when there's a few bottles sitting around, one must find something to paint, and fingernail polish magnets is just the thing! I just love how these turned out, and from afar they're even cuter as one doesn't see all the little imperfections that you see in…

  • Fingernail Polish & Glass Pebble Jewelry For Your Summer Wardrobe!

    After our craft failure with the fingernail polish marbelizing craft we had hoped to enjoy, I fortunately had some glass pebbles on hand for this fun fingernail polish and glass pebble craft! I think these would be a great addition to your summer/vacation wardrobe don't you?  If you're not up for making your own baubles, but…

  • Fingernail Polish Craft Failure!

    I've been wanting to try crafting with finger nail polish for months, and after picking up some bottles at the dollar store, we were all set to go at long last.

  • Cheesecake From A Neighbor For Shavuos!

    The Jewish holiday of Shavuos will start here in Israel in another four hours or so, and I really hadn't planned to get back on the computer and post anything…..that is until a neighbor's daughter knocked on our door with the beautiful little sampling of cheesecakes and blintzes, and of course I just had to…

  • Make A Gorgeous Low Flower Arrangement Using A Planter!

    Here's a nice idea for making a low flower arrangement using a container that you may already have, or that at the very least you can re-use in your container garden! The idea is…..use a planter, and make the arrangement using floral foam placed in a low dish within the pot, got it?  While high…

  • Easy Care Flowering House Plants

    I love bringing a little life to my home with plants, and I especially love those that are easy to care for, forgiving if slightly neglected, and bloom with interesting and long lasting flowers!
