The Green Life

Ahhhh nature
Project organic garden
Success
Tree hugger in-training
I'm not sure how many of you are aware of my green living ways, but I have been pretty dedicated to going green for some time now. I think I have always felt a bit of a call to respect the earth since my grandmother and mother had/have very green thumbs. (There are still plants that my grandmother grew being passed down in the family.) It was a very happy day in the house when Jake said the word "Compost."
I could fill up this whole blog about things we all need to do, but instead I will start a list on here of Green Lving websites if you want more information. Or send me a regular e-mail and we can chat in more detail.
We all need to take a step back and think about the choices we make today and the future it creates for our children. I don't want my kids one day to ask me why I didn't do anything to help stop global warming, pesticides on food, and the list could go on and on.

I worry about that too! I should get more information to do more:) Thanks for such interesting journal entries! I love checking in here and seeing what you are all up to. You have a beautiful family (although I'm sure you already know that--I just wanted to say it)!

Hi Laura,

You're passing down good traditions and values to Jake and Abbie. I don't know how you have the energy and time to do all that you do, but you're doing a wonderful job!

I thought of you today because we used the diaper coupon you passed along to us - thanks - every little bit helps!

Laura-
Did you take the first picture of the butterfly on the flower? It's beautiful!

Adam took that picture at the Brookfield Zoo over the summer. He takes better pictures than I do.

Hi Laura,

I was checking out your green living links and I'm going to make some of the nontoxic cleaners. Thanks for posting them!

I clean all of my floors with a vinegar and water mix. It is a natural disinfectant and cheap!
