7 Ideas to Add Some Green to Your Life!

My favorite question about being green is about how to replace things you currently use with more “greener” choices. It is so easy to make small changes that are not only green, but will feel good on your wallet, too. Honestly, I am not green because I have money to spend on fancy things like […]

A Plea to the Famous Tweeters!

Earlier today I interjected my way(sort of) into a conversation with @typeamom and @resourcefulmom on Twitter. They were discussing bloggers and the value we should have and not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of by companies. I feel even though I have been on Twitter for about a year, I am still sort of […]

A Shocking New Year’s Resolution: Lose Weight

My Bloggy Related Resolutions for the New Year

I’ll be blunt! I am sick of hearing about flu shots and H1N1 shots and that to stay healthy we SHOULD have one or both of these shots. Although it may seem preventative to some, I think it is an easy way out! Now, before you all get your panties in a bunch, I will […]

Green Kitchen Tools Review

One of the places that I dream and need to “green” the most in my home is the kitchen. I have lots of plastic containers(gasp) and old pots and pans with unhealthy surfaces and mismatched kitchen “tools” that are not in great condition or are, again, plastic! So, when I got the box of goodies […]

Zkano Organic Cotton Socks Review and Giveaway!

If there is one thing I love, it is a great pair of comfy socks! When I am at home, I always have on a pair of socks, I prefer to wear socks to bed and especially prefer that my socks be soft and comfortable, but also snug(at least sometimes). I put a lot of […]

Baked Pasta with Roasted Veggies-It’s Meatless Monday!

One of my favorite things to do is take a recipe that includes meat or isn’t necessarily healthy and make it my own vegetarian version with seasonal vegetables and healthy alternatives to some of the listed ingredients. How is that “green” you ask? Well, first of all, the impact on the environment from farmed animals […]
