Just recently I wrote about Isa Booties and Project Happy Feet. Hopefully everyone bought a pair of cute booties to help [...]

It’s the weekend and we’ve had some heated discussions going on here at G&CM. Father’s Day is around the corner (yikes, I’m not ready) and I thought I’d just lighten up the load by giving you a few fun blog posts to check out this weekend. Through my recent twittering I’ve come across some great [...]

Nature Mom wrote a very thought provoking post that I first began replying to and then thought it was better suited as a post than a reply. She writes about whether going green is a religion or just smart and frankly, I think it has become both! When people compare going green to being a [...]

I didn’t get to be on Oprah but I was inspired by the author and green expert, Sophie Uliano, when she was on the show. I recently had the opportunity to ask her a few questions and hope you can find some green nugget of wisdom from my interview with her. At least maybe be [...]

April of 2007, Oprah’s Earth Day episode, is the day my “green” light turned on. For me, it began with the toxic cleaners in my home. It was just a starting point for me and it felt overwhelming and impossible. I probably did too much too soon and drove everyone around me [...]

I confessed to driving an SUV. Gasp. This caused me to lose some readers and that made me sad. I got over it. I gained far more from this article than I lost. Wanna know why? I’m honest and hands down there are more of me out there who drive the SUV but give a [...]

When a person grieves, they go through stages. I felt like I did this when I learned my children were drinking from cups that were leaking BPA. I couldn’t believe what had BPA in it. It began with denial. I denied the fact that the FDA would actually approve such a harmful chemical. Then I [...]

I checked my email and could not believe I was reading about car seats being toxic.
Mom’s Rising sent me this:
A recent study conducted by the watchdog group, Friends of the Earth, found that 56% of infant carriers, 44% of car seats, and 40% of the strollers they tested had dangerous levels of toxic fire retardant [...]

I’m buying a new vehicle (my husband doesn’t know this yet). What I want is not practical for where I live or what I need it for. I have a family of four. We live where it snows (lots of snow people) October through March and sometimes April. I drive back roads almost daily. For [...]
