Just Like That, I am Back

 If I said I was back, would you believe me? Blogging is complicated, and there are so many "get rich quick" blogging schemes that make it look like you are a lost cause if you are not currently earning money blogging. And why are you even blogging if you don't have multiple streams of income and entertainment. If you don't have a brand? I do have this website, but I do not have Instagram, Twitter, TikTok (you don't want to see me dance), or whatever is next.  Heck, I haven't even updated this since before the pandemic. So why am I here, writing about being back and then, probably ghosting for another two years? Life has been rough. It's been painful and overwhelming. I am so thankful for you my readers, or what is left of you. I am so thankful you are reading this post. I am so thankful that you are still committed to making the world a more exciting and more sustainable place.  Keep up-cycling my friends, and you never know, I might be back again with an...

Saturdays in Ohio

-
I love living in Cleveland.  I mean there is just so much to do.

First up a favorite activity. Meet the Trucks in Lakewood.


This picture is actually of the Coast Guard boat, but there were plenty of trucks on hand.


Also on hand was the Cleveland Metroparks Eco-Explorers truck. The kids got to make butterfly bombs. They mixed a ton of native wildflower seeds with organic dirt and when they got home they "bombed" the yard with them. Fingers crossed they grow and the butterflies land in our yard!



We of course met the firetrucks! Or firefighter as C2 calls them.


C1 got in on the action too.


They got to "drive" the street sweeper.


Well C2 did anyway.





 Then we stopped at the Westside Market. It was the first weekend of the Open Air Market. I love the vendor in the Airstream. I want an Airstream so darn bad.


The good news is that the Hubster was talking to the vendor Elton and he was totally on board. He even liked the idea of running a store out of the Airstream. We won't be doing it anytime soon, but....A girl can dream.


We finished off the day with a "naked" burrito from Ohio City burrito and some fresh Horchata!

I love me some Cleveland!

Looks like such a fun day! My 6yr old would have had a blast in all the trucks. Thanks for sharing.

Hello lovely T-shirt Diary followers!  The Pink Bat Girl is here to rescue you from plain old scrap wood and boredom today with a fun Memorial Day upcycled project!  My block wood is courtesy of an old toddler bed that all of my kids used from Ikea.  The bed has been given away, however, we still had the old wood that went under the mattress.  I thought it would make some really great wood blocks!

It's time for Upcycled Awesome, your green linky party dedicated to upcycled crafts and more.  As always you have until Saturday at Midnight to post your upcycled project.
