I am amazed every day by how many choices we have to further green causes. It seems that businesses are are either getting hip to green marketing or they are trying to do their own own part...or maybe a combo of both. But more and more you help further green causes just by buying the stuff you would otherwise buy. Aka green cleaners instead of conventional, reusable instead of disposable, airline ticket from airline that offsets carbon usage, etc. It gets easier and easier to be … [Read more...]

Pools, rBGH, and Pretend Pastry
TGIF! Have an awesome weekend everyone! I have had an eventful week here. It was my birthday and my 10 year wedding anniversary was yesterday.

It does!!! My 2 year old managed to use it … [Read more...]

We are all about using safer products here so were happy to give EcoSMART a test drive. We do really need it here in central Ohio too. As soon as it hits 5:00 PM or so, the mosquitoes come out … [Read more...]
It's My Bag Baby
I have something of a reusable bag collection. I just love cool, stylish shopping bags. The cashiers at Whole Foods like to ooh and ahh over them too so of course I like to give them something new to talk about. ;) Enter my new fave bag from Savior Bags. They make saving the planet fun! The one I have is this one. It has Ghandi printed on it and it says "Be the CHANGE you want to see in the world." I love that quote. These bags are made of very sturdy canvas that is water repellent and mildew … [Read more...]
