This past weekend I had the great pleasure of attending the largest climate change rally in the history of the US. Some are saying it ended up being one of the largest environmental rallies in history as well. It was a humbling experience to march on Washington and stand united with others who share my concern for the environment and my frustration that progress on climate change has been virtually nonexistent. It was a doubly wonderful experience because I was able to take my 12 year old son … [Read more...]
A Zip Lining Adventure in Ohio
TGIF! The kids and I are off to enjoy some last minute fun before school starts AND celebrate a 12th birthday. But I would be remiss if I didn't share what I did last weekend...which was one of those rare kid-free weekends. Hubby and I went to ZipZone Tours a new place for columbus zip lining.

If you asked me two weeks ago if I would ever consider zip lining a fun weekend activity … [Read more...]
The Center of Science and Industry for Summer Fun

We attended the early learning class first off and then spent the afternoon wandering around the museum. We feel … [Read more...]

No backaches, minimal bloating, no fatigue whatsoever, and no chocolate cravings. My skin also gets a bit oily and I may get a tiny pimple or two this time of month. I had none … [Read more...]
Live a Little – Finding Small Joys Wherever You Can
This morning I got a great reminder from a green blogger I admire, and that I got to meet in person a couple months ago. The lovely Shane at Environmental Booty is asking others to share what they do to to find fulfillment and make the most of each day. It is so important to be able to find your happiness and joy in little things, each and every day and yet it is so hard to do for many of us. This is an important topic for me because I tend to be one of those "someday" people. I have big … [Read more...]
