WHERE HAVE I BEEN?


Now that my son is born and we are spending lots of time together I am working on finding new ways to make ends meet. Here I am hitting the circuit again in hopes that something will seed and take growth. 
I am living a little greener every day and teaching the values of that life style to my child. As I read up on organic eating and green living, I am pulled back to my childhood where I remember my mother doing things green and I just thought she was being stingy. The truth to the matter is that my mother was living green based on how her parents tough her to use what was available to her in the area. She would use vinegar and water for the windows, lemon and salt on the cutting board, and she always grew things in the garden. For summers I remember seeing my moms butt in the air weeding her garden and bring in fresh cucumbers and tomatoes that we would eat without washing. She was even kind enough to lend some of her chives to a mud pie. She gave me so much and now I want to give that back to my family and anyone willing to partake in my writings. 

Now I ask you to post any ideas or knowledge that you want to share that you use in your house to make your life a little greener.
