I could have added the subtitle "... at the moment". Such is the life of my nearly five year old son. Boys really are a different breed. I knew that in part just from marriage experience. But a little boy - wow! I see why so many moms think they need to medicate their young boys. I'm keep the faith though that this energy will turn into productive activity in the near future. As long as I can unleash him to the backyard, we should all be okay. Speaking of furious, I'm hopeful we have that under control. There's nothing quite as disconcerting and yet completely hilarious at the same time as a little boy screaming at the top of his lungs over the lack of "treats."
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…

Too true, Jenna. Aidan and his friend Max were sword fighting here at our house about an hour ago. They slayed several "dragons" (their dog and ours, and the dads) and just generally beat on each other gleefully. In the meantime, the girls sat on the couch and giggled over a book together. I love getting to experience both sides.
