Okay, for the most part you know I’m about as green as they come. I recycle, I don’t purchase plastic water bottles, I leave the house with coffee in a travel mug and my reusable shopping bags stuffed inside my purse. I never buy paper towels or napkins and I can’t live without my Diva […]

FYI: I don’t have a fancy big-girl camera and I didn’t bring my low-tech Kodak EasyShare with me on this trip so all photos were taken with my snazzy Blackberry phone. Plus side?

We drove past a landfill on Christmas Day. Yuck. It was visible from the road and the mountain of stuff was enormous and just plain ugly. I now wish I had asked my husband to stop so I could take a picture so I’d have a reminder of why it’s important to continue with our […]

Thoughtful gift giving

If you’re like me you haven’t finished your Christmas shopping yet. If you’re like me in past years, you haven’t even begun to shop yet. Either way, there’s always someone on the list who is such a challenge to find a gift for. You know who I’m talking about. The person who buys everything they […]
