It's been a while since I've done a vegetable garden update and although we're heading into the cooler months here, our square foot garden is still producing lots of veggies for our evening meals.
I'm envisaging that soon our two square foot beds will be pretty much empty (other than garlic that I'll be planting soon) and we will then spend the winter building up the nutrients again with manure, coffee grounds and ash from the wood fired oven, ready for spring planting. To say that this tiny space has been good to us is an understatement!
After some careful planning on paper, trying to work out exactly how many vegetables we should grow to feed our family, we've been pretty much spot on with the figures. It's a bit depressing that I've just dug our final carrots (mental note to plant more next year) and I should have planted extra parsnips too, as they grew exceptionally well, but mostly I calculated what we'd need pretty well. The tomatoes have been extraordinary! Little Bit Funky. Prototype Mama. Liz Marie. A life's design. Danimezza. Sassy Sites! Project Run and Play. Favourite Blog? What makes a good blog in your opinion - Essential Baby. I love to read was on the same wedding forum as this girl and followed her from there. Her blog was about her wedding, then her infertility and now her beautiful son.
Plus photography, plus-size fashion, op-shopping and random daily musings. Just about everyone on EB is written by an EB mum 'superorganizer' i think. Lots of organising ideas in the archives, nowadays more pics of her daily life... plus scrapbooking, cooking, presentation ideas and lots of purrrty photos and envying her lovely home, haha. Hyperbole and a half, as a PP mentioned, is an absolute crack up!! And then i read my friends blogs on livejournal and blogspot. i like blogs that are informative and inspirational but not smug. i like blogs that inspire me to live my life better, not curl up in a ball because my life isnt good enough, therefore i likeblogs that are real, funny and have lots of pics and links.

Simple Living Manifesto: 72 Ideas to Simplify Your Life | zen ha. “Simplicity is the peak of civilization.” – Jessie Sampter By Leo Babauta A simple life has a different meaning and a different value for every person.
For me, it means eliminating all but the essential, eschewing chaos for peace, and spending your time doing what’s important to you. It means getting rid of many of the things you do so you can spend time with people you love and do the things you love. It means getting rid of the clutter so you are left with only that which gives you value. However, getting to simplicity isn’t always a simple process. It’s a journey, not a destination, and it can often be a journey of two steps forward, and one backward.
If you’re interested in simplifying your life, this is a great starter’s guide (if you’re not interested, move on). The Short List For the cynics who say that the list below is too long, there are really only two steps to simplifying: Identify what’s most important to you.Eliminate everything else. Little Fists.

Controlling My Chaos. Prepared NOT Scared! PostSecret. A Beautiful Mess. I love using cloth napkins to dress up our dinner table, and through the years I've grown even more fond of their sustainability and cost effectiveness. Though, I'm not sure how cost effective it is if you keep buying more and more cloth napkins each year! This holiday season I thought it would be fun to look at how I could dress up the napkins I already own to give them an extra festive vibe. Check out three simple ways you can give new life to your table linens.
And hey! Two of them are even no sew! Ribbon Trimmed Napkin This look is so (no sew) simple! Supplies:-ribbon-heat bond in width of ribbon-cloth napkin (buy mine here)-iron-fabric scissors (not shown above) Step One: Trim pieces of your ribbon to be about 1.5 inches longer than the width of your napkins. Step Two: Fold down the edges of each ribbon segment about 1/4" and iron flat. Step Three: Iron the heat bond to the ribbon (pressing with hot iron for two seconds), then peel off the paper backing. Pom-Pom Trimmed Napkin. Rapid E-Learning Blog - Tom Kuhlmann | Elearning Central. Linear, click-and-read courses are pretty common and usually held up as the worst of online training and cause of boring courses because they’re mostly information dumps with little focus on how the learner can actually use the course content.
They may be the worst of elearning. Or perhaps not. Let’s review some common reasons why these types of online courses exist and what we can do to fix them so that you’re not producing boring courses. Boring Course Exist Because They’re Pointless Before we continue I’ll make the argument that not all click & read content is bad. A lot of our online training programs are more like documentaries that share information to build awareness. Keep in mind that linear doesn’t have to mean boring course.
In some blended training programs click-and-read courses are designed as a means to present content and they’re coupled with an interactive, hands-on process. With all that said, many of the click-and-read courses could be more interactive but they aren’t. My Frugal Family. Tina Gray {dot} Me. The Idea Room: My Inspiration.
