These mashed potatoes are seriously to die for. And they are so simple you won’t believe it. My secret is out and now my family members (about 20 who come to my house every year on Christmas Eve) will know how easy it really is.

This week, my daughter (my little girl) is turning 10. Yes, double digits – what the heck?! I’m freaking out about this and I’m not sure why. It’s not a case of “wow, if I have a ten year old, I must be old”. It’s just that I’m enjoying my kids so m…
The Environmental Working Group just released this new report titled “Can Cleaning Supplies Contaminate Classroom Air?”. The answer, as you can imagine, is a resounding yes.

Let me first say that I love, love, love Halloween, so I’m not trying to spoil the fun. But lead in face paint, toxic costumes, high-fructose corn syrup and mounds of trash can make Halloween not so sweet. With a few simple changes though, we can en…

It’s a week-long carbon cleanse, designed to help you live a better, happier, and healthier life by reducing your consumpt…
In my two most recent posts, I discussed the problem with plastics and how to use plastics more safely. The last step now is to reduce plastic use.
As a start, here are three items that I carry with me every day. Each is small and inexpensive, but…

The best mashed potatoes ever!
These mashed potatoes are seriously to die for. And they are so simple you won’t believe it. My secret is out and now my family members (about 20 who come to my house every year on Christmas Eve) will know how easy it really is.
I stumbled across this recipe in my “Fix it and Forget It” slow cooker cookbook a few years ago. Not only are these potatoes delicious, they make my life so much easier beca… Continue

Decorate green this holiday
The holidays are one of the best times of the year, but can also be among the most wasteful. Here are some tips for making the season a little greener:
Switch to LED lights – I was in holiday lighting hell last weekend. I think every strand I took out of the box and plugged in was half lit. Or worse, worked initially and then burned out the instant I had it up on the tree. The exception - all my LED lights worked like a charm. Many strands we have had for four or five years now and not o… Continue

Be a big spender on Black Friday
I’m planning to spend big this Black Friday, but I won’t have to get up early, clip coupons, fight the crowds, or lug around armfuls of shopping bags. How am I going to do it?
On Friday, I’m going to sleep in, take a hike with the family, play board games and watch movies. And sometime throughout the day, I’ll get online and take the money I didn’t spend shopping on Black Friday and contribute it to charity. So instead of getting more stuff I don’t need maybe I can help feed some people, clean… Continue

Double digits and greener birthdays
This week, my daughter (my little girl) is turning 10. Yes, double digits – what the heck?! I’m freaking out about this and I’m not sure why. It’s not a case of “wow, if I have a ten year old, I must be old”. It’s just that I’m enjoying my kids so much at the age they are right now, I don’t want them to grow up. My husband and I always say to them, “Can you do me a favor and please stop growing?” Which we are kidding about, sort of…
