If you have a baby on the way or your little bundle is already here then no doubt you want to ensure you have a green friendly and non-toxic nursery—read on! In these days of eco consciousness, for us to keep our children’s world as safe as we can, we need to start in our home and what better place than your baby’s first environment (after the womb of course)? Perhaps you don't have a separate nursery because you co-sleep. That great! We just need to make sure all of baby's hangouts are safe as … [Read more...]
Marriage Ebook Bundle Deal
A couple weeks ago I discovered the eBook Bundle of the Week much to my delight. It is essentially a new bundle of high quality ebooks for one super low price ($7.40), usually less than the price of one book individually. I scooped up some ebooks about blogging and productivity a couple weeks ago and almost got last week's bundle about home organization but I already owned three of them! They are usually books I have already had my eye on but this week's bundle is full of new-to-me stuff and I … [Read more...]
Feeling Hardcore Today or Why I Joined a CrossFit Gym
I joined a second gym this week. Sounds kind of crazy but I badly wanted to try CrossFit and you typically need to find a specialized CrossFit gym or "box" for that.

Green Your School Year with Recyclebank
It is that time of year so I have been posting regularly about greening the upcoming school year.

If it were easy all the time then it wouldn't be called "making an impact" would it? Even green parents can start to run … [Read more...]
Planning Nature Day Trips With Your Family
A grand summer vacation or spring break may not be in the cards for every family. The costs for family travel seems to go up every year and you may not live close enough to an amusement park, so what do you do? Well, if you are like me I plan lots of small day trips instead and most of them revolve around free or low cost activities that take us outside to explore. This is all part of our family simplicity project. We work as little as we can, taking the lower pay with it, so that we can spend … [Read more...]
