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 […]

When I first started this blog my main goal was to share my knowledge about living a greener lifestyle. Obvious by the name, I know, but still. So, now I am realizing there is so much I want to write about and share when it comes to my family and the day to day adventures […]
Green Kitchen Tools Review
December 9, 2009 · by · 2 Comments
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 […]
Baked Pasta with Roasted Veggies-It’s Meatless Monday!
October 26, 2009 · by · Leave a Comment
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 […]
Why it is Green to Be Vegetarian!
October 19, 2009 · by · 1 Comment
One of the many ways I think we can all be green is to eat less meat, or become vegetarian(and if you are really ambitious, vegan). In our house, we are vegetarian(except when out of the house when my husband goes carnivore crazy)! Not only is eating no meat or less meat green, but it […]

It’s going to be a great weekend! At least for my husband’s family. His brother’s family will drive the five hour road trip to come for a visit to my mother and father-in-law’s house. Pull out the red carpet, they don’t come to town often! So, this means we will make the one hour drive […]
Lunapads Review and Giveaway!!!

Okay, I consider myself a green girl…..I have a cool reusable water bottle, I recycle, never buy paper towels or paper napkins, buy organic food, organic hair care products, make my own household cleaner, and only use soap nuts for my laundry! The one area I just hadn’t dove into yet was feminine hygiene products. […]
Product Review: Glass Dharma Straws
June 1, 2009 · by · 3 Comments
A while back I decided to enter a contest over at EcoOfficeGals for some glass straws from Glass Dharma. I personally don’t use straws very often, but the kids do so I thought this would be a fun way to have some straws that were NOT plastic!! Let’s face it, most people don’t reuse their […]
