Where to start? There are so many elements to trying to lead a greener life. It encompasses everything from where we get our food from to what we clean with. For me, it even means staying away from unnecessary synthetics (in clothing, in the kitchen, etc).
I spent a good part of the last few months [...]

Will LOVES pizza. It is quite possibly his all-time favorite food, though he is still a little young to say for sure. Nonetheless, whenever I ask him what he wants to eat for dinner, the answer is usually pizza (or, as he says it, peet-za).

Is the weekend really over already? I mean, I know I had a longer weekend thanks to an out-of-town work assignment Friday that left me with the afternoon off. And I know I fit a ton of things into my weekend, like reorganizing my pantry, my office/former dining room closet, swimming, farmer’s market, grocery shopping, [...]

I was much more daring this week with my breakfast. We had Ina Garten’s Maple Roasted Bacon, hash browns, a cheddar omelet split between Will and Shawn, and French toast. Talk about carb overload.
