Gas is great to cook with, but can generate unhealthy air quality conditions for you and your family.
Cute Kids and Cats
Posted on February 22, 2018 Written by Leave a Comment
One of our sons is internet-obsessed. He was very excited to learn that we have a blog (it’s as old as he is!) and a YouTube Channel. He thinks it’s very important to have a post on cute kid and cats. He even posed with the cats so we’d have photos to use. This […]
Camping in the Rain
Posted on July 2, 2017 Written by Leave a Comment
When you’ve got a trip planned with 40 of your favorite people to hang out with, you just don’t want to cancel because of a little rain! My babysitting exchange, which also includes the members of our bee co-op, likes to go camping every spring. This year the weather was not promising on the first […]
Dogs and Doughboys
Posted on July 3, 2016 Written by Leave a Comment
This year on our annual camping trip I was sitting with my young friend by the fire making doughboys and discussing why some people like dogs and some don’t. She’s a huge fan of dogs and told me she likes them so much because they are soft and cuddly and always like to play. I […]

We love going away with our friends over New Years each year. To make it more cost effective, we rent a large beach house in the winter. This year I took four young children on a walk to the beach to collect shells one afternoon. The children looked for shells and discussed how they know […]

I’m always on the lookout for children’s books that reflect my values, so when the Green Kids Club contacted me to review their books, I jumped on it! They sent me the series for free, so I could review them and tell all of you about them. This series is designed to engage children in […]
Camping With Friends

We love to camp. We’ve been camping every Memorial Day weekend with the same group of friends since long before we were married. Conveniently, some of our very good friends have children similar in age to ours, which has made continuing to have family outings together easy. Many of these outings have inspired camping posts from […]
I Love Being A Green Mom

People keep asking me what I’m doing for Mother’s Day this year. We have been so busy and have had so many difficult things happening this past month that I’m just looking forward to spending some time with my husband and children appreciating being a “green mom”. I love being a “green mom”! I love […]
Children’s Earth Day Pledges

While Earth Day may strike people as a new idea, it has been celebrated on April 22nd since 1970. This year we decided to ask our children about what they would do for Earth Day. We started by asking “Do you know what Earth Day is?” Our 4 year-old responded: “It’s the day where you […]
Vaccination Concerns

Recently I had the opportunity to chat with someone who works in the EPA’s Office of Children’s Health Protection. While our 4-years-olds bonded over toys on the floor of a church hall, we talked about vaccines, risks and benefits. The two objections that I have heard most frequently to children’s vaccines are the fear that […]
