Sustainable Saturday

Another successful Sustainable Saturday. Apart form the regular organic grocery shopping and visit to the local library we

• put up a  puppet show with the kids
• made a princess costume with crown & magic wand for my “princess” (with some cardboard & golden Christmas wrapping paper)
• did lot of coloring & drawings
• organize the kids playroom & found some boardgames for next week
• read books
• Start the bread dough to bake on Sunday morning

The Sustainable Saturday #3 was a very sleepy day. I guess the rainy weather got us all. Kids took a nap in the afternoon and not much was done.. Except the usual organic grocery shopping & regular trip to the local library..

“Sustainable Saturday” #2 Update. Not much news this time though..

As traditionally our  morning passed fast – out in the library and organic grocery shopping in local farms. Make sure to use your reusable bags

The afternoon was spent with the kids – got out some crayons and coloring books. Also worked on my t-shirt recycling/reusing project and got it going ahead quite  a bit. Hoping to add a picture of it soon to show my progress.

How did your’s go?

So here is my update for the first Sustainable Saturday. How did yours go? I would love to hear about it..

1. Eating organic.
Make sure you prepare in hand -as you need to get stocked up with some organic ingredients. Starting with breakfast we’ve had some nice home-made muffins. Here is the recipe For dinner we had a nice vegetable stew with some beans, greens & portobello mushrooms.

2. At least 1 raw meal per day
For lunch -  nice salad of fresh greens, local grape tomatoes, cucumber, broccoli and radish with a few spoons of cottage cheese. Drizzled with some lemon juice and a pinch of salt.

3. No-Power Entertainment
As promised I stayed away from the electronic – computer, TV, etc. Instead we went to the local organic farm, bought some nice fresh greens, apples, tomatoes, etc. We also took a nice walk to the library – luckily the weather was beautiful – nice and sunny with 10+ degrees. In the evening I worked on some craft projects – started on the Christmas egg ornaments and also continued my recycle-t-shirt project that I started a few weeks ago. I will be posting about it later, after I can take a nice picture of the final result.

I found my Sustanable Saturday very relaxing and actually felt a had more time for myself. Stay tuned for the next week update..
