The Most Remarkable Trees in America
As you know, we have a special place in our hearts and souls for trees here at CrowSong Lodge. There are so many wonderful and wondrous things we could say about them and if you’d like to hear some, you can visit our very own Grandmother. Treehugger (unsurprisingly, a favorite site of ours), posted this…

Forming New Habits
Changing your life, whether in a big way or a small way, is always amazing. It’s hard to tell where your life will end up as a result! But wherever you’re going, it’s sure to be amazing! But how do you form a new habit? You just do the same thing over and over again…

Time to Get Real
Ding Dong, Ding Dong! That’s right. It’s time to step up to the plate. It’s midsummer, 2014. Half the year is gone and we have half the year remaining. I know you had goals for this year. Where are you on them? Did they get abandoned? Have you come up with new ones? Adjusted them…

I’m in the wilds of the Arizona desert in the 110° and 48% humidity. I’ve got it pretty easy though. I spend my days in 76° air-conditioning…

It’s a Leap Year!
This is a leap year. That means that in this year there are 366 days in this year instead of the usual 365. And that extra day happens in February. On the 29th. Tomorrow. Okay, so that may not seem like a really huge deal, but it is one. It’s absolutely huge. That’s a whole…

Eco Friendly Dryer Balls from EcoSisters
Just a quick blurb today. I found an ad for these last month and they sound really awesome to me. They’re wool dryer balls. What they do is, you put them in your dryer instead of using fabric softener or a dryer sheet, and they not only make your clothes snuggly soft but also help…

Monday is the New Moon
We’ve discussed the full moon before here on my blog, but we haven’t discussed the new moon. The new moon is equally as powerful as the full moon and occurs directly after the dark moon. The dark moon occurs when the moon is directly between the Earth and the sun, causing the visible portion of…
