When I was growing up, my mom had a book about the geography of Idaho. I gave him the list, and my old digital camera, and had him take pictures of prominent landmarks and buildings, common animals we might see along the way, and distinctive plants (like cacti) visible from the road. Another good game for road trips is “I spy.”

I see adults making sure their kids are signed up for ball games, ballet practice, camp and other activities so that the kids have little unscheduled time to fill. Yet, I’m sure the kids still sing that age old summer chant ‘Mom, I’m bored!”. Give Them Time to Grow Their Imagination.

Tip # 1 – Go thrifty on seeds and plants. If you buy organic non-hybrid fruits or vegetables, you can save your seeds and plant them, year after year. Potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes and horseradish can all be propagated by taking a cutting from the tuber and planting it.” Grow sprouts on a tuber. Use cuttings.

However, growing your own organic herb garden can be intimidating, especially if you know nothing about plants. Additionally, when everything you need is just at the local supermarket, it almost doesn’t make sense to grow your own garden, much less an organic one, which, by the sheer sound of it, sounds difficult.

The proverbial saying ‘money doesn’t grow on trees’ is used by many a parent in denying some wished for item to their children. Well, kids, your parents lied to you – money does grow on trees. A money tree starts out growing slowly, so small at first that you don’t even think it is there.
