Expanding Houseplant Collections The demand for houseplants shows no signs of slowing down.

My hobbies range from reading to painting, pen-and-ink drawing, cooking/baking, and writing. I also want to have a sense of detachment from owning things, which is hard since I was raised by very acquisitive parents (my mom shopped for a hobby), so I am still unlearning those habits. Also, growing our own food.

Garden Stepping Stone Craft Kits Hobby Lobby had several versions of kits to create a stepping stone. I bought 2 little bags of colored glass bits from Hobby Lobby to decorate and used a popsicle stick to write on the wet cement. The most expensive was around $20. Our local Walmart also had a cheaper version of a stepping stone kit.

Look at the Local Paper. My favorite hobbies have fallen into my lap unexpectedly, even if I was a naysayer of the activity. Ask for a catalogue of events around the region; the booklets are usually free and very helpful. The YMCA is usually very community oriented, so they may be able to give you some good tips.

Minimize Money Spent on Disposables Today, we spend a lot of money on disposable products such as paper towels, plastic water bottles, plastic wrap, and the like. Plus, it gives you a healthy hobby that you can share with the kids. And the truth is often that the generic version and the brand option work the same way.

I sent it to our neighborhood paper, East Side Monthly , and the owner published it. I tied his hobby to my discovery of The Ink Spots, an American pop vocal group popular in the 1930s and 1940s. Turns out Zak was a no-show, but that didn’t deter the headstrong 7-year-old. This happiness comes through in my essays.
