i have been pretty bad at keeping my little blog post up to date on all the comings and goings at number 10 the green. mostly because its been so darn busy, but no excuses! lots off little stories combined: ground floor coffee shop is a reality in the very near future. its been a collective dream for many years and it is so exciting to be working towards it. my role in making this little world of awesomeness happen is: marketing and staff training manager, with a lot of voluntary interior design and brand championing on the side! it is crazy and busy and fun and challenging and amazing all rolled into one funky little package. my job this week: to market the near opening of ground floor coffee shop at the kings arms church carol services, their biggest events of the year. lots of visitors, lots of tenants at kings house, all needing to know that we are coming. soon!

How to Get a Complete Workout with Nothing But Your Body

Everyone knows exercise plays an important role in our general health, but whether its a lack of motivation, the need to travel to the gym, the cost of equipment, or simply know-how, these supposed obstacles often stand in our way. In reality, all you need is yourself. Here's how you can get a full-body workout with nothing but your body. Note: To be clear, some of the exercises we'll be discussing in this post will require more than just you.

Remember when I was going to post a flower project every Friday and then I stopped doing it because I kept forgetting it's Friday? Well, today I’m rectifying that, even though technically this is Monday. Let’s just pretend it’s Friday, okay? I could go back and alter the date so it looks like I posted this on Friday but that seems dishonest and technologically complicated. Also, this project is no big whoop because I have pretty much posted it already . Only difference this time is that I’m using a plastic bag to make a bow for a wine bottle, because, let’s face it, there’s a good chance you are giving away some wine bottles in the next few weeks. http://www.auntpeaches.com/2010/11/friday-flowers-plastic-bag-pom-poms.html
