I love the internet. I love how we can connect with others clear across the world and sometimes people we’ve never met right in our own neighborhood. It’s amazing how with the stroke of a few keys we can find answers to simple questions or find the local retailer of one of our favorite products. It’s simply […]
Unexpected Gratitude
March 2, 2011 · by · Leave a Comment
A few weeks ago Paul and I went out together for a little shopping and lunch. I remember it was raining a little bit so we rushed to the car quickly, but just as fast as Paul opened his door and climbed into the driver’s seat, he was getting back out of the car as he grumbled something […]
We were married on a leap year and have a dilemma
February 27, 2011 · by · Leave a Comment
I have a bit of a dilemma. Every year that isn’t a leap year this happens. I write Happy Anniversary on the calendar to cover February 28 and March 1. See, back a really long time ago, like in the early 90’s, I was all into numbers. The number 29 was special because is was […]
Meatless Monday – Fried Brown Rice with Veggies and Tofu
February 21, 2011 · by · 17 Comments
I know what you’re thinking right now. It’s been like forever since I posted a Meatless Monday post and you’ve all been eating meat like crazy because I have failed you miserably as a leader. Or maybe, wow Cathy, you’re such a slacker and yeah, we’ve been doing just fine without your Meatless Monday posts […]
Happy Valentine’s Day

This photo was taken over 17 years ago of Paul and I and I couldn’t be happier to say he’s still my Valentine. Looking at this photo, one that we were completely unaware was being taken at the time, I can still remember the butterflies in my stomach, the sparkle in my eyes, and the […]
I mean it when I say I don’t want flowers on Valentine’s Day
February 11, 2011 · by · Leave a Comment
I truly can’t remember Valentine’s Day ever being a big deal in my relationship with my husband. I think it’s probably because we also celebrate our wedding anniversary in February or maybe it’s because my husband’s lazy because we all know the pressure is always on the guy to have the most gorgeous bouquet of flowers […]
When raising a future environmentalist bites you in the ass

A couple of weeks ago I got really annoyed with our school district. I know, I know, shocking right? I mean me? Annoyed? Oh, whatever.Basically, they send out a school calendar, which undoubtedly will be revised and reprinted and sent to families again and maybe again. There was a scheduled day off for students, however, […]
Ford Green Driving Technology Event – One heck of an awesome ride
January 24, 2011 · by · 1 Comment
It’s been nearly two weeks since I headed to and returned from Michigan for Ford’s Green Driving Technology event and I’m still absorbing all that I saw and learned. It was an amazing experience from the accommodations to the incredible innovations and I want to share some of my experience with you. I honestly wasn’t sure what to […]
Shoveling is NOT the greener choice when it comes to snow removal
January 21, 2011 · by · 1 Comment
We are being hit with yet another winter storm here in the northeast, yet another reminder and motivator for finding opportunities to move to where the palm trees grow. So school was canceled and Paul got up extra early to take care of the driveway before leaving for work on the slippery roads. The prediction […]
