Farms

I am really interested in Community Supported Agriculture, or CSAs, and the opportunity to actually know where your food comes from! Plus through CSAs you are supporting local farmers and helping the environment by buying food locally. I think food security will continue to become an increasingly important thing to tackle in our society as food prices continue to rise ( I paid almost 5 bucks for milk the other day!) and hopefully I will be able to get more involved with Nashville Urban Harvest in the spring.

I was watching an old Martha Stewart episode today and she had this cute little family of farmers on from up north. They have a farm rental house that you can stay in and also learn to work the farm while you stay. I know this probably isn't most people's ideal vacation, but I think it would be a really neat experience! Summer vacation anyone? lol

Here is the link if your interested...and if not look to see if there is a CSA in your community:

Holiday Decorating!

With funds somewhat low this year, we decided on a Christmas tree fund limit ($20 big ones) and threw caution to the wind!!! As we arrived at Home Depot we were pleasantly surprised to find elf-size trees. After contemplating over the huge selection under $20 (all of 2) we went with the cutest little tree you could imagine:


(Warning tree looks bigger than it actually is due to a. the tall stand and b. I'm only 5ft tall-same height as the tree)
Here's to a MINI Christmas!
