Keeping Cool in the Kitchen

By Tiffany 3 Comments

Cooks know that as the temperatures outside increases, the desire to cook decreases. It has already hit me full force... I don't want to heat the kitchen by using my oven at all. And it isn’t due to lack of wanting to cook I just have the need to keep our home as cool as possible. We don't run our air conditioner willy nilly because we don't want to be energy hogs.. or spend extra money on energy bills. This is why baking is done mostly in the winter months and cool dishes are served during the … [Read more...]

Greener Laundry Products

By Tiffany 10 Comments

The above picture shows some of the greener laundry products I have been testing lately. Laundry is one of those chores I absolutely despise. I wish green gadgets could change that but they don't. The only thing they do is make the process a little more planet friendly and that at times seems like a stretch in my opinion. Most "green" laundry detergents come in plastic bottles and that isn't so green at all. Soap nuts have to travel from around the world and they don't last long. Lots of laundry … [Read more...]

Green Games for Earth Day and Beyond

By Tiffany 2 Comments

Looks like I have some new games to add to my mammoth post on green board games. Educational Insights was kind enough to send me a trio of their educational, green games for my children and I to play with for Earth Week and beyond. All 3 games are printed with vegetable ink on recycled paper. They have wood and paper pieces, no plastic and they are really rather sparse in gadgets and "stuff" overall. They are very much minimalist games. Another plus is that all three have a nature theme going … [Read more...]

Go Green & Put Some Green Back In Your Pocket

By Tiffany 18 Comments

The economy is bad, gas prices are high, food prices are rising and many green families may be wondering how they can afford organics, costlier natural items, and some of those green gadgets that cost more now and end up helping you save later. I have gotten several emails this week from moms asking about how to make this process more affordable. I DO understand that it is cheaper to buy that 99 cent sunscreen tube from Walgreen's instead of the safer but more expensive brand the EWG … [Read more...]

Green and Frugal Go Together

By Tiffany 3 Comments

My friend Carrie over at NMTR has a blog and podcast that addresses natural mothering. Recently she posted that she would now be including some talk of money on her blog and asked for reader opinions. Does the subject of money management and frugality detract from the natural mom message? I say no. For me, green living is a huge part of natural mothering and green living and a life of frugality go together like peanut butter and jelly. Think about it. What are some of the key areas of green … [Read more...]
