There’s a lot of talk these days about a recession, even a depression, being on the way, and for families trying to eat clean and green, it can be difficult to make [...]

Let’s face it…..the economy is in bad….bad shape. The house I bought 2 years ago is worth 25% less today, my husband and I spend $300 a month more in gas, and the stock market is shrinking our retirement account daily. It’s time for us to re-evaluate our [...]

I know that the proper green phase is “reduce, reuse, recycle” and that they are in the order of importance. So the best thing would be to use less plastic grocery bags.  And we do - a lot less.  However, I do not think I will ever get my husband to take a cloth bag [...]

Babies love to put things in their mouths; it’s one of the ways that babies learn about their surroundings. These activities teach them about taste, texture, sound, and shape among many others. Exploring in this way is important for their development, so it is no wonder that the toy industry is a multi-billion dollar enterprise!  [...]

In August, I read a article in, Parade, about paying for your trash. Paying for the disposal of trash varies. Some cities charge per bag, can, sticker or it is included in city taxes.

Come on the colors are orange and black! I love, love, love Halloween. I love the time of year and the cool fall nights. I love the idea that I don’t have to buy gifts and wrap them up for everyone but I can still celebrate and have fun. Goblins, ghosts, and gremlins are part [...]

Children get home from school and they are hungry. The day was packed full of learning energy zapping activities and they need to refuel. When I got off the bus after school I remember eating chips, cookies, drinking soda and complaining if these items weren’t around.
Sorry mom and dad, I just made you look really [...]

Tis the season for packing lunches. I’ve gotten some emails asking for tips on how to pack a healthy school lunch and to “green” the lunch box. I have to say, when it comes to packing a healthy lunch I think parents have to keep in mind, the lunch room is competitive and there are [...]

My daughter is just starting to get into dolls, dress up and pretend play. It’s so cute to see her carry her purse around, try to put on my high heels or rock her baby doll. She mostly has boy toys because of her older brother and until just recently, she didn’t care about toys. [...]
