Doin’ It for the Bees: Part II

April 7, 2017May 21, 2017 / SamanthaD / 1 Comment

It’s here! You’ve been so patient and now your wait is finally over; part two of my multi-part series on the bees has arrived! It dawned on me, however, that I may have put the cart before the horse (the honey before the bee?) with this series and not fully explained why saving the bees … Continue reading Doin’ It for the Bees: Part II

The Great Debate: To Refrigerate or Not to Refrigerate?

April 3, 2017May 21, 2017 / SamanthaD / Leave a comment

We spend tons of money on food at the grocery store each year- if you shop organic, this amount is probably tripled! If you’re like me, you probably end up buying way more than you use (wasteful, I know! Compost those extras, give them to your backyard chickens!). The obvious answer is to buy less, … Continue reading The Great Debate: To Refrigerate or Not to Refrigerate?

Eight Glasses a Day: The Benefits of Drinking Water

March 31, 2017May 21, 2017 / SamanthaD / Leave a comment

The logical thing to do after my last post would be to continue my series on bees. Yep, that would be the logical thing to do but I laugh in the face of logic (hahaha!) so, I am going to go completely off topic and make you sweat it out a bit while you wait … Continue reading Eight Glasses a Day: The Benefits of Drinking Water

(Some of) The Many Benefits of Bees and Honey

March 28, 2017May 21, 2017 / SamanthaD / Leave a comment

Last week we talked about gardens and pollinators, butterflies and bees. It had me thinking a lot about the bees and their honey. Bees have been around for millions of years and, for much of the time we (humans) have been around, we have benefited from bees. We use their honey for food and medicine. … Continue reading (Some of) The Many Benefits of Bees and Honey

Ahh yes…Spring! Finally, it has arrived. The sun’s out a little longer, the days are a little warmer and your step is just a little lighter. Yep, just around the corner are the days of bright, warm sunshine, picnics and gardening.

Making the Argument for Backyard Chickens

March 14, 2017May 21, 2017 / SamanthaD / Leave a comment

Full disclosure, this post is hatched (see what I did there?) from a purely selfish place.  I'm guilty of daydreaming about having my own backyard brood of chickens, so I'm a bit biased on this subject. I'm not usually a bird person but after spending some time chicken-sitting in years passed I am fully obsessed. … Continue reading Making the Argument for Backyard Chickens

Winter is (nearly) over and it's time to come out of hibernation. As we begin to plan our beach getaways and try to lose those pesky final pounds of holiday glut, the last thing any of us are worrying about is being green. It's almost bathing suit season, I get it, but you can reduce your … Continue reading Eco-Fit
