I have shared before that I am a big time movie lover. I worked at a movie theater for years just to get all the free movies I could handle and I REALLY used that perk. I like action and adventure personally. I grew up with The Dukes of Hazard and Wonder Woman re-runs as well as shows like The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. My mom instilled in me a love of movies with strong female characters too. As a tween/teen I was a HUGE fan of Ellen Ripley of the Aliens franchise. To this day I still love … [Read more...]
Green Your School Year with Recyclebank
It is that time of year so I have been posting regularly about greening the upcoming school year.

Green Smoothies Recipes!
About a year ago (maybe less) my family fell in love with green smoothies. No it has nothing to do with green in the eco sense of the word but rather what is in the smoothie...lots of fresh, leafy greens. A universal issue it seems is the concern over getting our kids to eat their veggies, particularly the dark green variety. Green smoothies are the perfect solution for the whole family. We drink at least one but usually 2-3 green smoothies a day. This means we are eating lots of Kale, … [Read more...]
Organic Baby Food Giveaway
The wonderful company Earth's Best has been gracious enough to offer one of my readers a great giveaway gift pack. I remember when my two youngest were babies and I made their own baby food pretty much but I always had some of those little jars on hand just in case and they were always Earth's Best. They were great for a trip to grandma's house. Organic food at this stage is hugely important for those vulnerable little bodies so I love what Earth's Best stands for. They also have a special … [Read more...]
