At least it is in my neck of the woods. It’s also heading towards the weekend and I am very short on time as I prepare for a restful couple of days with family. Here is a fun little poll to see how warm everyone keeps their house at. Go ahead and vote and enjoy your weekend!

Yesterday a package of books hit my doorstep. I always get excited when we get books, but this one was a bit more personal. I really enjoy making things, which is a huge part of the premise of this book – home-based productivity. So when I held something that I spent quite a bit of…
My laptop is sitting in a bucket in front of our cabin, catching the spring drizzle as it falls. I thought I’d be telling you that I’m more productive than ever, that the computer was pulling me away from everything important, that I’m a better wife and mother without the internet. As it turns out,…
Did anyone else grow up eating lay’s potato chips dipped in hidden valley ranch flavored dip? It makes me cringe now to think about that mysterious powder being poured into the innocent sour cream. What is in that stuff?! I believe MSG is among the ingredients. No wonder I couldn’t stop eating it! My husband…
Dear New Bride, Today you are getting married. You have met the man you will spend the rest of your life with and today is the day you seal the deal. Never mind the fact that your Dad offered you a Greyhound ticket out of here last night and at least half of the forty-five…
The little Miss is taking her afternoon nap so I’m just popping in after a morning in the garden to share some things I’ve been writing about. There’s a recipe, a tutorial, a couple of editorials (cuz you know my soap box is never far off), and a list of whole foods you can save…
photo credit This has been the inaugural year for Nourishing Days and I can’t believe how much this year has brought. This blog has evolved into something I never imagined.

I voted based on our daytime thermostat setting of 66-68, but we turn it down to 62 at night and may be trying it out a little cooler both day and night before long.
I haven’t had any need to turn on my heat yet this year, in either WA or down South, but do not turn up the heat to higher than 62ish without a good reason for doing so (illness, new baby, that sort of thing). Instead, I have down and wool bedding for all of the beds, wool & silk undergarments for Sarah & I to wear both during day & night, wool sweaters, and so on. I also make use of a fireplace whenever we have had one, as well as the heat that is produced for the daily use of the kitchen. I also have been spoiled with very irresponsible neighbors in nearly every apt we have lived in, who crank their heat up to ridiculously high levels and help heat my home for me ;o)
