I've been walking a lot for exercise, I'm not really up to running. Someone told me that it'd be better for weightloss if I added more weight while walking. I've heard of guys wearing weighted vests or backpacks while running to train. Or people using wrist & ankle weights when walking. Have any...

Avocados have so many benefits and they're so versatile! Like you mentioned before, I've tried them in salads & as a topping on burgers. They're great. I've had the same problem though, with not using them before they go bad. My solution was to just buy them one at a time, or as many at a time...

The rain is headed my way! I'm south of Raleigh. Thanks, hope you have a great day too!

It would probably depend on how much caffeine is in the tea. If it's almost as much as coffee, I'd assume your body would have the same reaction.

Thanks for sharing the link to the article! Definitely good information to pass along to friends and family. I can use this as a reason to get folks to play more trivia games and scrabble with me!

This sounds delicious and simple! Also, a substitution for vegetarians--there are two companies, Boca & Morning Star, that make a "fake" soy-based ground beef. There are Boca Meatless Crumbles and Morning Star Grillers Crumbles. I use them because I don't eat meat, but my family has started...

mmm I love kale! This sounds delicious. Especially because my family loves turkey.

I like growing some on my own because it's easy to grow them indoors or out. Like Geri K mentioned, if you grow them inside in your windowsills, you have the opportunity to grow some herbs even during winter. I admit though, when you get busy it's hard to remember these. If I forget I'll...

hey Susan, I'm in North Carolina. Very hot, but good for growing!

That's great, Susan! Glad the plants are doing better. This seems to be a good season for tomatoes--mine are coming in really well too, and so are my families' tomatoes. Funny that your husband won't eat squash--neither will mine! More for us!

I drink a lot of coffee. Today I found this i nfographic, illustrating the best times to drink coffee and explaining why. I found it really accurate, at least for me, as someone who wakes up really early and works an 8-5 job Monday-Friday. The writer/illustrator explains when your body is...

I wanted to share an update because I'm so happy about the progress of the eggplant! It outgrew its first container. The new container was called a "plant spa" because the bottom fills with water and keeps the moisture in to keep the roots happy. I've still been adding coffee grounds, once every...

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I'm glad you two had a great weekend grilling and watching twilight zone! I live in the south, in an area predicted to be affected by the hurricane, but luckily it passed over in the night on the 3rd and we had beautiful weather for the 4th!! Everyone was...

Great advice, Theresa. Also, your animals or neighbor animals. This weekend, since it was a long holiday weekend for many people, I noticed a lot of neighborhood dogs left outside in the heat unattended for longer times than usual while neighbors went to pools or cookouts etc. If you're...

Thanks Susan M J! I found a lot of great information. And a couple of cute things for anyone who might want to do some garden activities with kids. This page had two activities, using eggs as starter planters for herbs and growing grass out of an egg shell like a chia pet, that I thought might...

Thanks, Sarah. We usually don't get the paper, but it might be worth checking out.

Do you get coupons from weekly mailings, or search online?

I haven't taken the time yet, but I probably should! It seems like such a great deal if you really make the effort.

Remembering to stay hydrated is one of the most important things in the summer! When someone says they're getting a headache, my first question is when was the last time they had water. It helps so much!!

Thanks for posting this recipe! I was just given a bunch of squash and was wondering what to do with it. This seems like a good recipe to try.
