Over the 4th of July weekend we spent quite a bit of time outdoors at night. I don’t need to mention what happens outside at night in the summer. If you go out without protection, you are eaten alive. I don’t care how close you sit next to the citronella torches and candles, you still [...]
Here’s an interesting product, FLOAA Dish-sposables. FLOAA Dish-sposables are biodegradable pet feeding dishes. At first glance, I thought the idea was very interesting, but then wondered if it was very practical. After all, isn’t washing an existing pet dish more economical and eco-friendly than purchasing disposable dishes? Then I read a little further and saw [...]
I decided to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. One of the characteristics of living green is cutting out redundancy, eliminating waste and finding more efficient ways to do things. To that end, I made a few online changes. After taking stock of my online endeavors, I realized I was adding to Internet [...]
After many years of submerging my hands in water, doing household chores, cleaning, diaper changing, etc., my hands have become extremely rough. They’re so rough that I’m scared to touch myself. Wiping away tears means that I’ve got to pull my long sleeved shirt over my hands to wipe my daughter’s tears or giving a [...]
Earlier on I had a post on how to recycle wine bottles. Well, here’s an article on what to do with the corks. The author provides 10 solutions on how to recycle wine bottle corks. The only one she seems to be missing is creating a wine bottle cork board. It’s simple and easy to [...]
I remember when I used to lovingly scold my friends about using so much printer paper. Whether it’s at home or in the office, if you print out one document with an error, it had to be fixed and printed again. The discarded document would end up in the trash. Commitment to Change I’m happy [...]
During one of my morning internet strolls, I happened upon a site that lists 100 Ideas for Your Green Family. One hundred ideas is a lot to digest, but I think it’s worth a review. If it’s too much for one sitting why not institute one or two ideas each week. Imagine how much of [...]
I was watching one of the Green TV channels the other day (don’t remember the actual channel name because I so infrequently get to watch), but the host of the show gave me a great idea, recycled bikes. For the Non Bike Rider How many times have you gotten a great idea to get in [...]
All my adult life I’ve gone through bouts of frugality. When money got tight, I pulled in the belt. When things seemed to get a bit better, I would revert back to my wasteful ways. The older I get, the more I realize that if I had kept up with my frugal ways during the [...]
After finding a great sale price on whole chickens at my local grocery store, I decided to freeze one and cook one. The only thing is that I didn’t feel like cooking. I wanted something quick easy and with very little clean up. After all, spending the morning grocery shopping could be exhausting (especially if [...]
