It amazes me that with so many animals living in shelters that we STILL have a need for pet stores and puppy breeders. It bothers me on so many levels. Even people who don't profess to be "green" will often talk a good game about recycling and reusing because it is smart and efficient. But that's resources. We can't waste resources. But can we waste lives either? Why on earth would we choose to buy "new" when there are living, breathing, animals in shelters waiting for adoption. They go on … [Read more...]

Homegrown Organic Eggs

I Miss My Baby!
This week saw an emotional event. My youngest child started preschool and I cried my very last first day of school tears... sigh. It was completely unplanned that he would go to school this year.
