Green Goals for 2013

By Tiffany 4 Comments

My personal resolutions or goals for 2013 have been made. Now it is time to make a few goals specific to a greener lifestyle and environment so that I can 'up my game' in that department even more. It's all part of being a socially responsible member of my community. I am excited to work on a few things that are lacking and also delve into new territory. Goal #1 - Grow More Food!! Last year was the first year we grew absolutely nothing and I feel rather disappointed in myself. We have a … [Read more...]

Garage Sale and Second Hand Home Decorating

By Tiffany 9 Comments

If you take a look at most any interior decorating book, magazine, or website you usually come away rather discouraged at the amount of money that it takes to achieve the look you want your home to have. It seems that anything resembling that glossy magazine photo is going to cost some serious green. But quite frankly there is a simple and effective method for attaining the look that you want without spending a fortune; all it takes is a solid knowledge of the style you have in mind, an empty … [Read more...]

The Case for Once a Month Cleaning

By Tiffany 12 Comments

House Cleaning has got to be one of the most repetitive and thankless jobs on the planet; it has to be done, but who wants to do it? What’s more, who has the time? Our schedules are so hectic these days that it seems we hardly have time for the important stuff; let alone daily housecleaning chores. So is there a solution? A few months back I heard someone taking about once a month cleaning and it was a light bulb moment. We HAD to try and see if this helped us in our home. I actually don't … [Read more...]

Turning Around the Unsustainable American Dream

By Tiffany 8 Comments

This weekend I had a chance to read The Cul-de-Sac Syndrome - Turning Around the Unsustainable American Dream by John F. Wasik. It was a timely read as it has much to so with the current economic situation and what got us here but it is short on political blame and deals more with the attitudes and ideals that have permeated within the American mindset and how that has caused a lot of trouble for us. It talks quite a bit in the early chapters about the housing bubble and it was incredibly … [Read more...]

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

By Tiffany 13 Comments

Hot on the heals of my review of Choosing Simplicity I decided to finally review Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver... a book that has been on my shelf for months. :) The book immediately resonates with me because it starts out in Tucson, Arizona as Kingsolver and her family leave their home of 25 years to live permanently in Virginia on their summer farm. I remember well the postcard perfect saguaro cacti and gorgeous desert sunsets. One person's dream is another person's … [Read more...]
