More than any other subject, Bisphenol-A or BPA brings readers to this blog. Without a doubt, it is the top search that leads readers here (mostly to my diatribe on BPA and the Infant Formula Industry). Undoubtedly concerned about BPA’s endocrine-disrupting effects on the human body, people are eager to learn more about the […]
There is nothing like the smell of fresh sheets hanging in the sun to dry. It’s such a naturally clean scent–a scent that cannot be paralleled by any artificial, petrochemical concoction. It’s beautiful and, in some ways, it’s almost forgotten.
According to some tallies, machine-drying our washables contributes between 6% and 10% of our household’s total […]
Living in the mountains, very happily.
I am terribly late on this one. Wil tagged me ages ago so it’s about time I take part in the fun. So here’s my biography in six words.
Also, do you like that picture? It was shot and edited by a close friend of my husband. […]
I nearly lost it the other night if it weren’t for my husband. I had actually already completed the transaction when my husband talked me into calling Old Navy to cancel my $300 order of new clothing.
It’s tough. My biggest issue is not the miscellaneous stuff, but clothing specifically. Clothing of a decent quality and […]

I’ve been having a terribly difficult time keeping up with all the wonderful green living and gentle parenting blogs that are out there.

So, I’ve started a Green Living […]
With only two years and a few months under my belt, I hardly qualify as a parenting expert, but there’s a few things that I’ve learned. I parent by the golden rule. That simple, old adage of, “Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you.”
In my experience, we parents view our children as […]
Imagine a soup of garbage: plastic bags, toothbrushes, syringes, toys, packaging. Now imagine that toxic soup swirling just beneath the ocean’s surface. Got that image in your head? Good. Now, imagine that the soup is the size of two–yes, TWO–continental United States.
Only, the soup doesn’t just exist in your imagination; rather, it is very real […]
We all have strong points, but organization is not one of mine. Organization of time–yes. Organization of personnel–yes. Organization of projects–absolutely. Organization of things–absolutely not.
Perhaps that’s why I’m so drawn to simplicity and why I drool over home decor and organization porn (oh yes … Pretty Organized on Flickr I’m looking […]
The 2008 elections are on my mind. Aren’t they on everyone’s mind? I’ve avoided talking about them because other, more gifted, not to mention more prolific bloggers can do better justice to politics than I can (you’ll find better things on his blog than drivel about the election).
