Lessons that children can learn from the garden #Sponsored

I remember the first time I discovered that you could have an herb garden at your house.  It was in the Italian Mediterranean, near the mountain principality of Seborga.  One of my friends casually mentioned that he was going outside to get some fresh basil for the pasta.  Woah, you can just go out and pick basil-you Italians have it going on, I thought to myself.

Of course, since then I’ve planted herb gardens of my own and have been quite successful at it.  Now that I have a child who’s old enough to help I’ve discovered a couple of ways that they can genuinely help out.  I wrote an article for the SC Johnson Green Choices blog on the 5 things that your young child can learn from the herb garden.

A messy child meets the Mohawk SmartStrand carpet

Perhaps I shouldn’t say, ‘a messy child’, it’s more accurate to state a child that loves to make a mess.  You may have one of them too.  When I told him he’d be able to make a mess, on purpose he couldn’t get to The Dogwood Festival quick enough.  The folks from Mohawk Flooring had a tent and invited kids (see: anyone) to make a mess on their carpet.

The groundhog was wrong, Sears and #GrillingIsHappiness is now

The calendar says February, but in my dinner mind’s eye it’s April and I’m grilling out 2 or 3 nights a week.  If I were a true grill man then I would do it every month of the year, I realize that.   Grill 12 months a year or the fair weather grill man like me, Sears has you covered with #GrillingIsHappiness sale.
