Project Green Foot- Week 37
The one thing I was hoping to never purchase was disposable diapers. This past week, little E had a rash that was out of control, so we had to take her to see our naturopath. It was recommended that she wear a disposable diaper at night, so that we could slather Calendula diaper cream (contains zinc ... Read More about Project Green Foot- Week 37
Homemade Coconut Milk

For the last few weeks, I have been purchasing unsweetened coconut milk to add to my smoothies to make it extra creamy. I sometimes miss drinking something ... Read More about Homemade Coconut Milk
Patagonia Reflip Sandals from PlanetShoes.com
I personally dislike the flimsy, plastic sandals you can buy at most department stores. They aren't even that comfortable- just cheap and badly made, and usually not recyclable. I don't even know why I use to buy them. I still have some of mine because I can’t bare to throw out a pair of “good” ... Read More about Patagonia Reflip Sandals from PlanetShoes.com
Project Green Foot- Week 36

I think everyone knows by now how much I dislike creating ... Read More about Project Green Foot- Week 35
Speaking for the Trees
Picture it: 1970, a young boy at the tender age of fifteen is inspired to repair the smog damage in the San Bernardino Mountains in California, where he attends summer camp. He collaborates with two dozen fellow campers to transform a parking lot into a meadow of smog-tolerant ... Read More about Speaking for the Trees
Raw Lemon Pie Bar
A few months ago, I posted a raw lemon pie recipe trying to replicate the Hail Merry lemon tarts. They turned out good, but not as lemony as I wanted, and couldn't figure out why, since I used 5 lemons in the recipe! I recently decided to play around with the original recipe, and came up with this ... Read More about Raw Lemon Pie Bar
