The Old Stone House: Discover History That Often Gets Overlooked
July 22, 2014 by
Washington D.C. is known as a city that celebrates the history of important events and memorializes our nation’s leaders — yet amidst all the grand remembrance is The Old Stone House, one of the oldest known structures in the Capital. The house is maintained by the National Park Service, and preserves the history and daily lives of 18th century Americans. Many passersby assume it is a private residence, but it is free and open to the public. It’s a quick visit, but a nice break from the trendy Georgetown shops. There is a small gift shop, and the adjoining garden is an elegant setting for photo shoots or a quiet moment.

Three Ways to Make the Most Out of Fresh Mint
July 15, 2014 by
Many windowsill herb gardens include zesty, sweet-smelling mint because it’s one of the easiest plants to grow. Once your planters are overflowing with the leafy green plants, however, it can be difficult to find use for all of that fresh mint. Here are three smart ways to make the most out of mint in and around your home.
- Boost your beverages. Mint makes a fresh, tasty addition to beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Simply add a few leaves of mint to a large pitcher of cold iced tea, or muddle some in a tall glass of water after your next outdoor workout. If you want to spice up a batch of cocktails, mint is a necessary addition to mojitos or elegant juleps!
- Make your own cleaners. While many store-bought cleaners give off a faint chemical smell, making your own all-natural home cleaners will leave each room smelling refreshed. To clean floors or countertops, dilute one cup of white vinegar with one gallon of water, then add a few drops of mint essential oil for its sweet smell.
- Cure an upset stomach. Whether you or your little ones have a tummy ache, mint is a wonderful at-home remedy for anyone in the family. Steep some mint or peppermint in hot water to alleviate an upset stomach or nausea.
