My family and I visited the Museum and Science and Industry this weekend and checked out the SmartHome (http://www.msichicago.org/whats-here/exhibits/smart-home/). Dubbed the "greenest home in Chicago," it's impressive because not only is it a beautiful home, but the materials used and the products in the home at eco-friendly in some fashion. The outdoor living spaces are wonderful and the landscape which includes a vegetable garden, is lovely for children to see and enjoy. If you've not had a chance to check out the home, I'd recommend it. It's great to see the eco-friendly options that exist for homeowners.
On another note, in our ongoing effort to teach our children where our food comes from, we're finally seeing the "fruits" of our labor these last couple of weeks. We've picked rasberries, cucumbers and some tomatoes from our backyard. Sometimes the kids plop them into their mouths before we have a chance to wash them but I love the fact that they are seeing firsthand where food comes from. They are too young to understand the significance (since they are both under the age of 4 right now) but we're hoping to build upon this experience so they'll understand what's going on as they get older.
I hope you've had a chance to enjoy some of the new items we've been introducing at www.World-Shoppe.com. The site is going to be getting an overhaul over the next couple of weeks which I'll keep everyone updated through the blog. I'm in the final stages of signing on with a web designer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and I can't wait to begin in the process. I'll write more about what you'll be able to expect in the coming days, but suffice to say the site will be improved with many more functionalities and better information!
Thank you again for your support! Until next time...
