Our home has no air conditioning. Living in the mountains as we do, this generally poses no problem. That said, on especially humid days, or days that incur a good deal of physical labor, or even just days when this preggers lady needs something cold and refreshing and zesty and needs it stat, nothing beats Hubs’s Ginger Lemonade. Zippy and zingy and puckery and sweet and perfect in all the right ways, this lemonade puts the kibosh on whatever ails you. From our home to yours, I seriously encourage you to incorporate it into your hot weather beverage repertoire, a.c. or no a.c.

Good morning! I’ve got a few newsworthy bits for you today.

My “Small Measures with Ashley” post is up over on Design Sponge. Today’s topic discusses “biodegradable disposables.” With spring in full swing and summer swiftly approaching, considering in advance what you’ll do with all of the potential waste generated at family gatherings, cookouts with friends, days at the beach, and other get-togethers will go far towards preventing it in the first place!

My husband and I are the ultimate collaborators. With both of us working from home as we do, we see each other a lot. It never gets old. We consult and chat and scheme on everything, from what’s for dinner, to friends, relationships, Project Runway looks, and what on earth is really happening on “Lost” (does anyone know, because I don’t see how it could possibly get tidied up nicely in two weeks). We discuss fashion choices and new dinner plate options and weird interactions with folks at the grocery store. We’re tight, super tight. He’s got my back, always, and I’ve got his. We’re permanently propping each other up, full of unconditional loving support.
