Inhabitat.com is a weblog devoted to the future of design, tracking the innovations in technology, practices and materials that are pushing architecture and home design towards a smarter and more sustainable future. Their sister site, Inhabitots, was created as a resource for parents, families, and anyone else interested in sustainable modern design for children. On the Inhabitots website it states, "We recognize that the birth of a child is a turning point in people’s lives and the impetus for many people to ‘go green’ and really start researching the materials and production involved in all items that closely touch our lives." I know this is true for me! I subsrcribe to their blog and love seeing all the eco-friendly products available out there. It's a States-based site, so if I see something I really love, then I'll search and see if it's available in Canada. Then put it in my someday-maybe-I-can-get-it list!

Some Old Pics

Recently a friend of mine gave me some photos from last year when we took our biweekly walks. I would usually forget my camera... Here lil chubber is ten months old, back when he only had three teeth, only one being on the bottom. :) I forgot to bring a hat so we had to borrow a nice pink one! As you can tell from the look on his face, he didn't think it was so nice...
These ones are later that year. I think he has a few more teeth.

Apple Bran Muffins

1 cup natural wheat bran
3/4 cup wheat germ
1 cup all purpose flour

October Photos

I haven't been taking very many pictures lately, I'm not sure why! Lately most have been for my food blog, y'know, recipes I want to post but never get around to doing... Eventually lemon squares will make it on there, plus I just made some yummy apple bran muffins and oatmeal raisin cookies today. I have three draft posts there right now that are just photos, I have yet to fill in the recipe! I'm such a procrastinator.

My little goofball

Mmm, laybugs for supper.

Reading Clarion. Ok, he just loved the tractor picture and dragged the magazine around all day.

Watching the dough mix.

Homemade naan. So yummy.
