There are so many "green" books on the market and I have read so many that I am usually doubtful that any new green book will able to capture and hold my interest. Often times I decline to review them when I get emails from publishers because I have no desire to read the same information a dozen different ways... sorry but its true. Which is not to say that they won't be perfectly good books, they are just for a different audience usually... someone who is new to green living. I am not new to … [Read more...]

Kidzsack Eco Friendly Backpacks

Playing with his new toy that the school gifted him. I guess they have learned that dinosaurs are his currency. And of course I had to … [Read more...]
An Easy Meditation to Do with Your Kids
When I posted about Sensation Meditations for Kids a couple months ago I got quite a few emails about meditating with kids.

I am no expert on meditation but I know I really enjoy it and feel really calm yet energized when I just do it, so kids can reap … [Read more...]
