Though I find it hard to believe that any of you will be bored this weekend with an extra day off, here’s a few ideas for you to make the most of your holiday!
Picnic :: We don’t picnic enough. 
The grill is great, but there’s something special about the occasional picnic lunch. Perhaps go for a hike in a nearby park or forest area then enjoy a lunch of champagne and strawberry, basil and brie sandwiches!
Fly to the Flea (Market) :: There’s a few flea markets I’m planning to head to this weekend and in the next couple of weeks. Finding that special diamond in the rough can be quite thrilling (for some of us anyway)!
Bike It :: Get out and go for a ride. You could even take that picnic along.
Backyard “Drive In” :: If you have a projector handy, you could enjoy a “drive-in” movie in the backyard (or go really fancy and rent one). If not and you’re lucky enough to live near one of the few remaining drive-in theaters, then head there instead.
Canning :: It’s perhaps a bit early to really start canning since most people are just getting their gardens in, but if you’re like these two, you can pickle anything.
Notice a theme here? Besides the canning, it’s all about being outside this weekend. After being cooped up at work all day and during the winter months, the goal is to get outside and enjoy the weather (fingers crossed for no rain) while we can!
However you spend your weekend, I hope you enjoy it!
p.s. Thanks to Paul & Lori over at Burp! Blog for the tip about Portlandia’s 2nd Season little “Pickle it” gem.
Celebrate Earth Day by making an all-natural or upcycled diy project! With the holiday falling on a Sunday, perhaps you’ll have a little free time for a little Earth-friendly creativity!
This post should have gone up on Monday or Tuesday, but well, life’s life, but I still wanted to share some Earth Day crafts and inspiration – perhaps spend this lazy (Earth Day) Sunday making one or two natural DIY projects!
So without further ado, here’s five things you could try on Sunday!
1. Make homemade Seed Bombs for friends. Just because.
2. Naturally Dye Fabric
- How cute is this skirt made with fabric dyed with Turmeric?(I definitely want to try this!)
- More on Natural, Non-Toxic Dyes
3. Braid some Upcycled T-Shirt Bracelets!
4. Hoarding Wine Corks? Here’s a few ways to re-use wine corks including trivets, place card holders or even a bath mat!
5. Get your seeds going in Newspaper Seed Starter Pots.

What will you do to celebrate Earth Day this year? Other suggestions?
Happy Friday!
Wow…where did this week go? All of the sudden it’s Friday. Not that I’m complaining, but I could have used a few extra hours to get a blog post or two written earlier this week. I apologize for the quiet week!
It’s going to be a busy weekend in our neck of the woods. My parents are meeting my future in-laws for the first time, it’s Opening Day and Easter (and Passover, too!). We’ll see how it goes!
So have a great weekend and I’ll be back next week with much better posts, promise.

In the meantime, happy Opening Day and Easter!
