The perfect Eco-teacher's gift and *news*

It's super cute and reusable! So...my family and I are relocating to Evanston, IL just outside of Chicago. I am a mix of emotions right now but am super excited that this will free my time to began blogging again! Plus, with all the green things and free activities I can't wait to share with everyone! So wish us safe travels and I am so excited to return to my blogger friends soon:-) *please note that image is from interest and does not belong to me; my gifts were just based off of this concept.

Lent 2012 Reduce your Carbon Footprint

Eco-Christmas!

I hope that you and yours have had a wonderfully blessed and green holiday season! I hope to be fully operational by the end of January...I thank all of my wonderful followers and hope to provide more adventures in green living and parenting in the new year. This year has met many ups and downs for my family and as things settle, never fear! The blog will be a part of this.

Here's a taste of the fun to come: a centerpiece I created for our annual cookie exchange: and it's not only eco, it was free! I received the vase as a wedding gift (years ago), the pine cones and branches are from our yard, the gingerbread items are gift ties and an invitation from the event, and last but not least the flowers are made out of toilet tissue rolls that have been glued and sprayed with hair glitter left over from Halloween. We also put these "flowers" on our tree...very eco-chic! (and super easy to make with a 3 year old!)

Happy New Year everyone!

Kudos to Earthfare!

Now thru November 5th trade in Halloween candy for better choices. Way to go Earthfare, you made my 3 year old daughter's day! A coloring book and treats she recognizes ...Plus a free healthy kids meal now this makes Mommy and daughter happy.

Sunday's Eco Inspiration

If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.

Cant wait!

Just a quick post to say that I will be doing a review of what looks to be my new favorite cookbook! So honored to have this opportunity! Now, time to get cooking :-)

DoTerra: Allergy remedy even toddlers will take!

My oldest has been having a bit of the allergy stuffy nose sniffles (the only downside to our wonderful new backyard with mature trees) but I was determined not to medicate her un-neededly. Here's the blend that worked great and she called it her "candy cane" medicine.

2 drops peppermint
2 drops lavender
2 Tbsp water

Just be sure to use DoTerra oils, not all essential oils are okay to take internally.
