Rhode Islanders
This could be the perfect kid activity while the cook’s in the kitchen.. get ‘em outside! Letterboxing with kids in Rhode island.
Again, All that Matters is hosting yoga t-day morning with Coral Brown… stretch before the stretch and don’t forget to dedicate your practice! A nation united in Thanks Giving is a powerful moment. Community yoga at ATM is this Sunday.
Schools in South Kingstown, Rhode Island are inspiring children to learn about the great outdoors. {It’s this a great program… my delightful yoga teacher Rebecca is at the helm too.}
The Yoga School of South County offers a variety of wonderful classes, including mom’s yoga with childcare. Rebecca teaches there… check ‘em out! They are located right next to the guild and the kiddos can enjoy the park while mom {or dad} “gets centered”.
This Saturday the locals can attend the Coastal Growers Winter Market in North Kingstown… we went last week and I had a hard time pulling Jeremiah out of there; he loved the music and the energy. Not in South County? There’s always the Wintertime Farmers’ Market in Pawtucket.
Around the Blogosphere
Keep that wallet locked-up this Friday and honor Buy Nothing Day. {I will confess I will have to go purchase a few things for my sons birthday, but I fully support this event and this confession is with my tail between my legs}.
Another reason it’s only a myth that city folks can’t be homesteaders. These folks raising shared urban chickens are really using their full brain capacity. Yeah for community!
For those of you like me scrambling for the perfect Thanksgiving table decorations these eco-kids are awesome- wouldn’t you say? Here’s to a crafty Thanksgiving… or translate it to the upcoming Christmas season! The Green Hour blog also has wonderful ideas!
Jump into the holiday comsumer spirit by checking out hese top 10 eco friendly toy manufacturers before heading to Wal-Mart. {Please}.
Back home in my Backyard
Our chickens are producing lots of eggs… great for upcoming cookie baking.
The kids planted garlic on Tuesday and there’s a thick bed of nice rotting hay over it. I can’t wait to harvest next summer!
My friend Andrea found local grown and milled corn meal. I think it might make the perfect homemade cornbread mix for Christmas gifts.
THIS FRIDAY, my adorable, handsome, smart, nature-boy turns three. We are celebrating by pressing cider, roasting hot dogs {local grass-fed beef dogs} and having a fire-work display. We might make some lanterns too. It’s an evening outdoor party so we can enjoy the splendor of the late fall night sky.
And now, this Backyard Mama, is off to make some pecan pie! { Using agave- I’ll let you know how that goes!}
Be safe, be happy, and ENJOY this lovely day of THANKS GIVING.
May there be adundance, grace and peace everywhere.
