Staying Active as a Couple

For the couple that craves a little exercise from time to time, why not try something active the next time you’re looking to hang out together? Take a long walk with that someone special by traveling the Freedom Trail. It’s a great way to combine learning with your exercise. Or jump on a bike and journey to the Boston waterfront. The path that travels the harbor is long and winding and will definitely provide you with a good workout as well as beautiful scenery. And when winter comes around, you can always visit Frog Pond and spend some time ice skating.

The horrors behind cheap angora

I had never really thought about it until last weekend. But as soon as my friend asked if I had heard about the deal with cheap angora from China, I felt a familiar sinking sensation.

Angora comes from a particular breed of rabbit (a very fluffy breed). One reason why angora is so expensive is that it is not shorn or clipped off the rabbits the way that sheep's wool is. You have to comb it off the rabbit by hand, which is a very time consuming and labor intensive practice.

Lay's "design your own chip flavor" promo goes predictably awry

Last year Lay's had some success with their "Do Us A Flavor" promotion, which yielded the user-generated flavors Chicken and Waffles, Cheesy Garlic Bread, and Sriracha. These chips went to market and proved fairly successful.

This year, the return of their promo involves a Chip Flavor Generator, and the internet has responded predictably, with hilarious flavors like Frog? (pictured above), Bucket of Tears, and more. (I created one called Crowded Elevator, featuring the zingy tastes of Staring At The Floor, Claustrophobia, and Maybe Gas.)

Printable toys

Years ago, I used to print and make gifts to include in Wood Sprite’s Christmas stocking, Easter basket and other gifts. One year I even made her a bunch of toilet paper tube animals for Easter—a frog, a chick, a lamb and other little puppets. All I did was glue on features that I drew with markers on construction paper and she adored them! I’m telling you, toddlers do not need much.

Bad Crafts: Tying decorative knots

This is a craft that is not so much "bad" as "baffling." The thing about decorative knots is that they are cool and all, but then what? How many decorative knots does a person need?

The art of tying decorative knots has a long history, there are decorative knots that date back to the Celts, to the ancient Chinese, and the Austro-Hungarian empire of the 18th century. You had to make your own fun back then.
