Have you ever tried to convert pounds and ounces into kilos and vice-versa? It happens to me all the time. And it is a waste of time, really. So when I have found this idea on Martha I had to share it with you. These are conversion charts with templates that can be turned into laminated cards or kitchen magnets, so very handy! It's all here.On the homefront. Very, very rainy these days. There is practically a river in front of the shop.No school today, either. Low temperatures, but still not fever free. Lots of coughing during the night. F feels weak. Echinacea and vitamin C tablets, chicken soup (no Lent fasting!), and the great syrup (great as in both effective and nice tasting) I posted about here. No antibiotics.
There is a great mess at the shop (accounting stuff, e-mails, etc), so I had to come today and see what I can do, and at home lots of tidying up to do. I felt stressed all day yesterday and today because the in-laws announced they'll be visiting from the 20th on for a week! The nerve of some people.
Did you know there are many ways to reuse coffee grounds instead of just throwing them in the garbage? Organic fertilizer and pest repellent, that one I knew, but furniture scratch toucher upper? Closet deodorizer? Abrasive cleaner? A green post worth reading, here.
Now that I said 'green', I so much look forward to working on our garden!One of the reasons I wanted a house of our own, is the garden. I marvel at Spring. I love tending to pots and flowers, and for the first time I have the opportunity to plant a meme le sol, down to earth, as in real gardening! I am quite intimidated because pots are more manageable, but I do want to go ahead and do it anyway.
In the meantime, here is a picture of what I intend to add to our bathroom! A lovely 'goodmorning' (picture not mine, from design sponge-cheating here with The Happy Turtle.Could you please do me a favor? Can you stop by at the Happy Turtle and let me know: would you be bored if I merged the two and posted occasionally about interiors and material stuff?
Keep yourselves safe and happy.
