City and suburban composting is definitely possible. All you need is a small yard area or even a balcony space. Add rain-barrels (like his one -affiliate link) and a small compost bin and you are all set. Making new soil is easy to do in this small space. To help beautify the area a bit, […]

Project Green Foot- Week 44
It is raspberries season, and I am so excited! I found another local farmer about 20 minutes from my place that sells freshly picked raspberries among other fruits and veggies. I was at my local natural food store when I saw the raspberries- there were California ones and local ones. No brainer on which ones […]
Project Green Foot- Week 42
We spent more money on food this week than usual. I found a gem of a farm about an hour north of us- Runaway Creek Farm. It really is perfect, and so beautiful. They have 5 grass-fed cows, 6 grass-fed pig, lots of chickens, bees and acres upon acres of grass and gardens. They are […]
Project Green Foot- Week 40

Project Green Foot- Week 38
This past week was most definitely bitter sweet! I am excited we are now closer to friends and family, but I am sad that our little American adventure has come to an end. We have spent the last 3 years living in the US, and have enjoyed every minute of it. I guess all good […]

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 […]
Project Green Foot- Week 36
I will get this out of the way now since I am being honest about our spending. I got a Blendtec. I have been eyeing them for over a year and a half, ever since I began eating raw. At that time, we decided to invest in a juicer and dehydrator because I already had a food […]
Project Green Foot- Week 35
Since we began Project Green Foot, we have celebrated a few holidays along the way. For the most part, all our friends and family have been supportive and respectful of our “no-waste gifts” theme, and we have been very appreciative of this. I think everyone knows by now how much I dislike creating waste, and […]
