Great Choices at South Suburban Parks and Recreation

You will hear me over and over again talk about how much I love Colorado. Specifically, I am in love with Littleton. If you live in Littleton (or in the surrounding area included in the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District), you definitely want to take advantage of the wonderful offering of activities available to you. The week of April 5th is Customer Appreciation Week and a discount is being offered for passes or punch cards.

Here are some other activities to check out:

Even planning a trip with your playgroup or neighbors can make for a great day out this spring. The picture is just a glimpse of Ketring Park - one of my personal favorites. You can view all parks or all trails at the website as well.

Mom Spot: Living Green Tip

I have one word for today:

compost
Anyone can do it, anywhere, any time of the year. Countertop composting may be your best option if you live in a small place. But believe me, you want to get this stuff out of the house as soon as possible. Seriously.
That's why what you really need to know about is what goes in there and where to put it. I've read books on the subject (yes, actual entire books) and here's what it boils down to: Get yourself a good collection bin for inside and a realistic spot to put it outside (I use an old plastic ice cream container by my sink and then a standard bin with lid in my garden.)Stick with vegetable and fruit debris primarily along with egg shells and coffee grounds.Although coffee grounds can go directly to the dirt, all else needs time to decompose. Give it no more than 3 days inside and then get it where it needs to go!So where should it go? In a bin, in a ditch, or on a pile. You choose. (If you live in an apartment, don't think this i…

Psalm 16

This Psalm has been blessing me. I pray it will bless you too. Thanks to BibleGateway.com for making it so easy to share these beautiful words with you.16 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.

I have no good apart from you.” 3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
in whom is all my delight. 4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or take their names on my lips. 5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
