I opened up my sons backpack this morning to a book he made about emotions. He’s four and this is a [...]

One of the things that I miss when fall comes and winter is on the horizon, the fresh veggies from the local CSA and farmers market. Last year the local CSA provided a weekly newsletter with recipes and tips, it was so helpful. Through these newsletters I have learned:
Eggplant is a relative to potatoes, [...]

When I was invited by Lynn of Organic Mania to join the Green Mom’s Carnival I wasn’t sure what I was saying yes to, exactly. I knew I would be submitting posts on a particular topic monthly to one blogger who volunteers to “host” the carnival. Sounds funny if you aren’t a blogger and confusing, [...]

Honey bee, honey bee, where did you go? Personally, I don’t like bees but they’re important. I like honey though. My children actually love honey. Biscuits and honey, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, honey in our smoothies, honey in our tea, honey won’t you come home to me…I just had to write that! Unfortunately, we [...]

Bathing my children, it’s a nightly routine. It’s calming for the children and for me, I like to have the children smelling clean. Sorry, I just do. I always took a bath nightly and so do my children. They bath together and we don’t use very much water, so were conserving. Using a non-toxic, [...]

Listening. Some of us hear what others are saying but we don’t listen. Do you hear the wind and listen to the sound it makes? I usually don’t but listening to nature and the natural environment around us, it should be the same as listening to people. Not just hearing but listening. If I don’t [...]

I currently have a General Motors vehicle and have noticed on all the major “green” websites or high traffic sites with ad agencies, there are GM ads for their Hybrid SUV.  I never see Ford anywhere and this made me wonder. Is Ford not a “going green” company? GM is all about the bloggers and [...]

My daughter is 21 months and she’s climbing out her crib. Why? Why can’t she just stay in her crib until she is three like her brother? He never tried to climb out. He was happy in his crib. Not my little girl. She wakes up and out she climbs. All times of the night, [...]
