What’s HOT & What’s NOT for 2012

Goodbye Dining Out, Hello Dining IN!

As our family moves into our fourth year of this
“Non-Recession” Recession,
we definitely have a New Normal around our house.

Although I’m reminded daily by my three lovely children that our house is
“NOT NORMAL, MOM!”,
Here is What’s HOT & What’s NOT for 2012
at Casa Drake:

Goodbye Jag, Hello Cream Puff !
Goodbye Starbucks, Hello Liquid Sunshine!
Goodbye Power-Pearls, Hello Hunter Boots!
Goodbye Luna Bars, Hello Green Smoothies!
Goodbye Hiring Help, Hello “Being” The Help!
Goodbye Outrageous Water Bills, Hello Rain Barrel!
Goodbye One Ridiculous Puppy, Hello Two Ridiculous Puppies! 
Goodbye Buying New Clothes For an Old Body,
Hello Fitting a New Body into Old Clothes!
Goodbye Plane Trips, Hello Road Trips!
Goodbye Buying Things That We Can Grow,
Hello Growing Our Own!
Goodbye Veuve, Hello Kombucha! 
Goodbye Throwing Away Things That Look Dead,

Hello Saving Seeds…LOTS of Seeds!
Goodbye Penthouse Office in the City,
Hello Backyard Potting-Shed-Office in the Garden
(which I officially get to move into TODAY!)

Interesting that being fiscally conservative ends up being so damn healthy and well…
good-for-you all around.
Hmmmmmm.
Tough Love.
From our “New Normal” Home to Yours…

Happy New Year!!!
2012
