We had Kroger Private Selection’s Stone Fired Spinach Pizza for Mother’s Day dinner last night. I liked it. However I found the dough to be a bit dry, but that could be due to my oven or how long we cooked it for. Regularly priced each pizza costs over $6.00. We found them for 75% off! It cost us $1.55 each pizza! We snagged what we could and popped the rest of them in the freezer for future use. We also got the Stone Fired Pesto Pizza. The pizzas are vegetarian.

Play Recycler-opoly, an online quiz game from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to test your knowledge of nature’s recyclers.

In honor of Earth Day (and every other day), a homeschooling mom decided to start a group for all interested in going “green”. Whether you are new to “green living”, or have been living it your whole life, there are a lot of simple things we can do for a healthier life and a healthier planet.

If each and every one of us made even one small change in the way we do things, it could make a big difference, for our planet and ourselves.

This group is a place to share ideas, resources, and just general information on green living, including (but not limited to) recycling, reducing, reusing, and use natural, organic, chemical free (in other words “Earth friendly” products

I was looking in a paper craft magazine July 2006 and found a few big punches that fold to shape like little file folders and library pockets. I actually have one that is shaped like little file folders - I got it for our scrapbooking. It’s dimensions are 1-7/8″ x 1-3/10″. Here’s the link to the manufacturer’s website straight to the picture of what it looks like: Mini File Folder Punchie. I’m sure I can incorporate the punchie into our games.

Here’s what the mini library pockets look like: Mini Library Pockets.

The game is printable in pdf format. Download the latest version of Adobe Reader.

You can expand the game by measuring the game cards and creating a template to add more cards to suit your needs.
