I don't have any links but the easiest thing to do is plant what you eat. If you detest green beans forget those but if you adore greens, plant oodles. To make things easier, see what plants are available in your area that you can just put in the ground. Some beneficial flowers would be a good addition, like marigolds or nasturtiums so you can eat em too. Most importantly, enjoy that baby because a few years from now she will be pulling plants and knocking over Wall-O-Waters. Congratulations!

Well...I'm looking at it and I agree with kathleen and jaybird...Then again, I see it being used for a different purpose altogether. (depending on large it is) Do you have a front entry hall table? I think it would look really nice in that type of setting and could be left out all the time. In my old house, I had a long hall table with a lamp, by the front door. I put a large, decorative crystal bowl on it, that I would drop my keys in. Also, just another thought, I don't know what type of bathroom you have...but it would look nice on a bathroom vanity (if it's large enough) to display, either empty or with some small soaps. Or, you can go the traditional route and use it as kathleen and jaybird suggested. Either/ or...It's a beautiful piece. I would love to see how you do use it. jane

Is someone handy at your house? I bought a glue gun holder & it is great. The glue if it drips ends up on a 4 in. sq. ceramic tile. it is so handy. I'll try & get pic & ask Kudzu if she will post it. Some lady was selling them several yrs ago, she hand painted design or I think it may have been me. Anyway it makes it look better. Glue gun isn't likely to drop on floor or table & do damage but I always use a 1 ft wide board that is covered with vinyl used in cabinetmaking & in better cabinets. It is white & great for crafts. My piece was supposed to be a shelf, 28 in. long.It just wipes clean & at xmas doubles as extra counter space in kitchen for cookies that need frosting, I open a top drawer & lay it on there with the edge just inside top lip of drawer so it won't fall if I bump it. It wipes clean of paint, glue, etc. Sold at Home Depot I imagine or may have to ask for shelf piece from cabinet shop. You want the shelf as it is vinyl on front & back & front edge of it. I had a large wedding cake board my DH made me & it was stolen by a fancy club even though it had my name on bottom,lady did pay me for it. Anyway great stuff for crafts & cakes!! The glue holder is just 2 pieces of wood 3/4 in. pine base is 11 in. long & 5 in wide. The holder part is 5 in wide & 5 in tall with bottom edge going into base board where it has been cut out 4 in. in from 1 end. You need something that will cut down & remove area 3/4 in wide (holder fits in that slot)& 1/4 in. deep into the board. then go in 1 7/8 in. towards middle on each side & cut out a U that is where the glue gun goes. Glue the holder piece into the base piece, paint any color or stain & varnish. Then paint design on it if you are handy otherwise glue tile on the longer end about 1/2 in out from holder part. That's it!! Pic will really help so I will get going on that!! Jan

I work from home and often wear leggings/tunic when I’m home most of the day because Comfort. The rest of the time my uniform is jeans but I also have these pants, which I LOVE. http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=46800&pcid=46800&vid=1&pid=964562012 Ignore the bunching at the ankles. They have drawstrings that aren’t really noticeable and I don’t “draw” them. They’re so comfy, light weight, if I wear them with a t-shirt I have that might-be-going-to-the-gym look without looking too sloppy. These pants have gone on several vacations with me. I have the petite size. I also really like Lucky Brand tops. They have prints that are sort of boho but not over the top. Comfy and washable and a lot of them are a good length (I’m only 5’2” and have problems with tops being too long unless they’re petite). They seem to have sales online pretty regularly. Finally, more cotton jersey comfort...the Rosemarie dress from Toad & Co is so versatile. I own two in black and a couple others in different colors.
