Items like our lemon juicer that I have had for 4 years and still get so much use out of or even my newest obsession of a these glass coffee mugs. I recently switched to glass food storage containers as I try to avoid as much plastic as possible. These reusable food storage bags have really helped me reduce the amount of single use plastic I use. This 5 piece set includes a bread knife, chef knife, slicing knife, utility knife and paring knife for a whole range of tasks.

Most likely the most northern commercial date farm in the state of California – this remote ranch is well worth making the trek out to buy delicious dates (some 1,500 trees and 20 varieties). Actor Matthew Modine’s grandmother, Vonola Modine actually planted the first date palms here in the 1920’s entirely from seed. Today the ranch is open to visitors seven days a week – selling a variety of dates, date shakes and numerous souvenirs and other edibles in the shop. Access is on a dirt road that winds its way through a canyon eventually reaching the ranch and passing some of the date palms.

As someone who has worked from home, both as a freelancer and working in a full time job, I can truly put my hand on my heart and say that I absolutely love to work from home in lockdown. You have to be mindful that whether you are working on your own business, have freelance clients, or are employed, but working from home, you need to be firm about the hours you work, and the work that you take on. Although we can chat virtually on Skype, Zoom, Teams or have a phone call, it’s not the same as making time to hang out with friends outside of work, in person, and be able to truly disconnect from your ‘home life’. As long as you are finding a small amount of time in your day, to connect with loved ones, you can feel like you are taking proactive measures to counteract those isolating feelings that you have been having.

There's plenty to do in Door County, not the least the Whitefish Dunes State Park with a nice little beach and great (if cold by now) swimming. Nothing in history beats sledding,,building a snowman, playing a fast moving, slipping and sliding game of pie tag (chasing each other while having to remain on the stomped down lines of a giant sliced pie configuration in the snow with the center being a safety zone) or trying to track each other’s footprints in the a game called “Fox. The best are high in healthy fats (such as olive oil and wild-caught salmon), proteins, and carbs from non-processed foods - oatmeal, fresh fruits and veggies like butternut squash, peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, bananas, and citrus fruits that are usually available in the winter and ideal. Has the standard IMAX shows (which if it's the right film works wonders) and good exhibits on the tropical forest, the geologic/environmental/biodiversity evolution of Wisconsin through the ice age, old and diverse Milwaukee (great old-fashioned candy store in there), AND BUTTERFLIES.

After all, it takes 70% less energy and water to ‘recycle paper’ than to create new paper from trees, which is damaging to Mother Nature. Whether you create a ‘paperless office’, reduce your paper footprint and transition to a ‘digital way of working’, using cloud solutions such as Dropbox, Outlook and Microsoft Office, saves time and money and improves organization. Working from home as an SME is a step in the right direction, and you can not only improve air pollution, decrease emissions and energy consumption, but you can also decrease paper waste and achieve a better work-life balance. You can use rain water, waste water or grey water, and clean it, before returning it for use in industrial operations.

Let the pots dry at least 10 minutes, and then paint 2 more coats of patio paint on the pots letting them dry for 10 minutes in between coats. Cut bunny ears out of the white fun foam and then cut smaller ears out of the pink for the inside of the white ears. Now paint one of the small Styrofoam balls pink for the bunny nose and paint another small Styrofoam ball yellow for the chicks head. Stick the wiggle eyes to the top white clay pot and then glue the pink Styrofoam ball underneath the eyes for the nose.
