Thankful ~ Day 11

Yikes, I’m going to slide this one in today, right before I start on posts for tomorrow.

Today I am thankful for our weather here in LA.
When we moved out to California everyone would always ask – What did I miss? Did I miss the snow? And although I do enjoy snow on that first snowfall, and especially the two weeks around Christmas, I’ve found that I wouldn’t actually say I “miss” it.

But, it isn’t always sunny in LA. Okay, maybe 90% of the time, it is. But, take today – it was almost midwest “fall-like” weather. I’d always loved fall growing up in the midwest. The crisp days, breaking out the sweaters, that “chilly” smell that seems to be in the air, and of course the changing of the colors in all the foilage.

And we had all of that today. It was “sweater weather,” temperature in the 60s, even a little drizzle. Of course, we also spent part of the morning on the beach and are now curled up in front of a fire. We kind of have the best of both worlds here. I am thankful.

Green Goodness Giveaway

I have found the Crunchy Domestic Goddess‘ blog and she always has some goodies and fun giveaways going on. Right now she has one that is near and dear to my heart!

She is giving away some Lily’s Garden Herbals all-natural household cleaner. I’m very excited. As you may recall, I have been trying to switch our household over to all “green,” natural products. (I am still looking for a laundry detergent – had a good suggestion the other day which I aim to try, I’ll give you the low-down after I decide if it shall replace our Tide.) I checked out the Lily’s site and it has all kinds of yummy products, besides the cleaning products it also has holistic health and aromatherapy goodies.

Go over and enter her contest. Even if I don’t win the CDGoddess’ giveaway, I am going to have to try out some of the products. Plus added bonus for those of you with no Trader Joe’s or Target access, you can order them online and they are relatively cheap!
