Simple Lives Thursday Blog Hop

July 21st, 2010 · 10 Comments

For awhile now I’ve been scheming with Wardeh, Diana and Alicia on a blog hop that would focus on a variety of things from urban agriculture to real food. We settled on Simple Lives: Producing more, consuming less.

The blog hop focus is on sustainability, eco-conscious living, do-it-yourselfing, animal husbandry, gardening, preserving and preparing real food.

Everyone kicked the blog hop off last Thursday while I was on vacation so this is actually the second edition but I’m excited about it!

What is a blog hop? It’s where a group of us host this event. When you share your simple lives post complete with thumbnail on any one of our sites it will be displayed on all four of them. What a great way to get more exposure so that we can all be inspired by so many great ideas!

Who is hosting the blog hop?

Diana of A Little Bit of Spain in Iowa
Wardeh of GNOWFGLINS
Alicia of Culinary Bliss
Me!

So what are you waiting for?

If you have a blog, make a “Simple Lives Thursday” post on your own blog, then come back here to add your post to the linky box below. Your post will appear on all four blogs! Include a link in your blog post to this Simple Lives Thursday post.

If you don’t have a blog, feel free to add a comment here with any ideas or thoughts about simple living.

Everyone, visit and comment at the linked blogs.

    Hi Tom! The beauty of this blog hop is you take an appropriate blog entry you have done which would be anything from your blog and just link into it. This is right up your alley!

    Thanks for the comment! The beans are early bush beans. Very descriptive right? That’s what the seed packet says. I’m trying my hardest not to pick them every night because we want to make dilly beans next week, hopefully we will have enough! Next year we are going to do other beans (not green beans) for sure. This is our first garden though so we are just figuring things out. Love your website!

    Thanks Raine!
    Lauriel I have an early variety too – Provider and we FINALLY have beans to eat tonight. I’m excited! I think I have 5 kinds of beans out there but the black eye peas are the biggest so far. The slugs had a field day with them this year. I have 2 bingo shelling beans to show for an entire packet, 2 scarlet runners, 2 Empress but I had the French flageout and providers covered up so they made it. I didn’t get a single Tiger’s eye either. Bummer!

    Great work, as usual, Annette! I’ll have to do something for next Thursday!

    Thanks Julia! I can’t wait to see what you come up with. What’s fun is bundling up all the entries so you can see them together. I love that! Makes it easy to read them all.
