Planning Ahead

I am a Mom In Progress. One thing I've never been very good about is planning ahead. If you are friend or relative this is something you know all too well... painfully well. Although I love being a spur-of-the-moment kind of person, it can wear on a mom.


I will confess that there a plenty of times when I actually miss out of great events and opportunities because I just didn't plan ahead. You might call my earlier post a step in the right direction. When I post the Colorado Link each day, you will find that some of them are for specific events that are upcoming. Case in point: Rockies Opening Day.

Moms, we've all been there. You find out it's a free day at the zoo on THE day it's going to be free. That just stresses me out. So, look for great ideas for places to go, things to do, organizations to support, and just good fun each and every day! You'll want to have your calendar handy to pencil in an event now and then. And of course, if you have an event you would like me to highlight I welcome your suggestions.

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.
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
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;
you hold my lot.
6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance. 7 I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.
8 I have set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my
