Think vegans can’t have an old fashioned taffy pull? Think again! My daughters have been asking to make taffy for quite some time.

We recently hosted a tie-dyeing party for our local Unschooling group. Since we’ve tie-dyed a lot over the years, my older daughter wanted to do something a bit different. We decided to “double dye” a few items. First we dyed the items as usual using Procion dye and directions from the Dharma Trading Company (both [...]

Our current house was brand new when we purchased it nearly three years ago. With the house came cheap metal blinds and valances (which I actually really love the colors of, so we’ve left them on almost all the windows). Since the windows were technically covered, we haven’t spent a lot of time talking about [...]
