This is part three of my cheapskate series...showing you how to be kind to our planet and pinch your pennies at the same time. Sometimes I think many natural moms get discouraged by all of the great green gadgets and home products available that are priced beyond reach. Not everyone can afford all of the nuances that style magazines say one should have. But having a green home that is stylish and comfortable is more accessible than you think. Here are a few ideas for decorating on a … [Read more...]
