Things that add the spice or flavor to life

This blog was inspired by my children, my pets and friends. Through years of trying to entertain children I found other families, friends and community groups to collaborate with for ideas and resources. Those who know me, know how much children, pets, nature and creativity mean to me. The little the things that add some fun and flavor to your life, like art, creative cooking, nature activities, and fun facts. I was blessed with, and extremely thankful for, many of these things in my life. My mission here is to offer ideas, and inspiration among friends and put together a network of resources, including a list of organizations that do good in our community and a way to support them.

Tar sands oil - good idea or bad?

I will be the first to admit that i am a nature enthusiast and protector whenever I can be. Rather than blindly posting what looks to be a threat or a help, I am looking for information and opinion on both sides of the issue. What seems to be a good idea to help boost our economy and unemployment may be just another smoke screen. Check out the full story :

Save Wolves from Dirty Oil

Tar sands operations in Canada are pushing woodland caribou to the brink of extinction as their habitat is destroyed.

Incredibly, Canada's proposed solution is to kill the wolves that prey on caribou, instead of protecting their habitat. Black bears that are being habituated in the tar sands region are also being shot and killed.

Despite President Obama's prudent rejection of the massive Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, Congress continues to try to force approval of this dangerous project--which would pump nearly one million barrels per day of tar sands oil through America's heartland.

In addition to endangering wildlife along its route, Keystone XL would greatly expand habitat-destroying tar sands development--and would mean fewer caribou, wolves, and black bears.
