One Small Change - June

My One Small Change for May was to get a small garden started. I must say, my plan was to grow vegetables, but I just like flowers so much more! I did get one tomato plant planted topsy-turvy style. However, that's about as far as it went. I think it might be too late to plant much else, but I plan to look into it.

These were taken several days ago. That one little tomato is a bit bigger now!

So, while May didn't go so well, my plan for June is sure to be successful. I started learning to knit a few months ago. I love it, but have not been doing much lately. For June, I plan to get back into knitting and make my own reusable dish cloths. You can read about our change to a paper-free kitchen here. I started on a pretty little cloth this weekend. We will be heading to the beach soon, and I figure the long car ride will be a good time to get to knitting!

I am also reading a book my mother-in-law let me borrow.
It is full of great resources for making small changes.

Pinkalicious!

Today was a Relay for Life fundraiser day at our school. The theme was to dress as your favorite storybook character. AK couldn't decide who to be because I had forbidden Hannah Montana or Ariel because it's cold and the costumes she has are pretty bare. This caused a bit of turmoil on the drive home from school yesterday, but we finally compromised on Pinkalicious. For those of you who do not know Pinkalicious, she is a little girl who ate so many pink cupcakes she turned pink! She had to eat green foods to turn back to her normal color. I felt it was pretty appropriate for my pink loving sweets snacker. So here she is...all in pink.



I'm not too good at pigtails, but she looked pretty cute :) Some of the other characters in her class were Bad Kitty, Goldilocks, and the Gingerbread Girl.

My class had a few characters today. Here they are...can you figure out which characters they are?
