The Friday Five -Inspired by another blogger

So 1st I know I totally missed last friday's five! -My husband was sent home from work because he was coughing a lot (we've all been getting over colds here). So, I got a bit distracted and I admit to not have a lot of blogging motivation lately. Anyways -back to today's Friday Five! ...

I saw this on another blogger's site which she saw on another's site and so her post was named -Inspired by another blogger -So,I'm now taking the idea too :)

It's all about your favorite color -What's yours? Mine is purple with green coming in after that-So if you search google images what comes up with your favorite color? Here's 5 that come up for mine....

1. Some pretty purple roses

2. This is actually an optical illusion -It looks like it's moving -Huh?!

3. A cool digital effect making green grass purple 4. A cool purple and green staircase 5. And because I love flowers another purple flower with a green backgroud

So, that's it for today's Friday Five -If I don't get to say before - Happy Halloween!!

Happy Earth Day !

Happy Earth Day!

In honor of Earth Day I wanted to share some tips that not only help save the earth but, also help save you money!

Of course we all know about recycling -Which not only includes paper products,glass,aluminium cans but, also -Clothes! -Yes all those clothes that your kids have grown out of-Not only can you give them to charities;other kids. But, you can make quilt patches-etc.,for those clothes that are too ratty you can always use them for rags. And don't forget about those socks that don't have a match! You can use those for rags,make sock puppets and all sorts of things!

In fact there's plenty of everyday things you can make into toys! You know how kids love the box sometimes more than the toy anyway =D

You can use empty kleenex boxes,cereal boxes,baby wipe boxes into big;fun building blocks or dominoes. It's always good to take a fresh look at the everyday objects around you and see what can be recycled.

If nothing else take a nature walk and see what fun things you can come up with that you find and enjoy -Earth Day!
