Red Clay Home {giveaway}
As an aspiring tree-hugger, I’m always excited to learn about companies who are working hard to provide unique, sustainable products. So, when I heard about Red Clay Home, I was intrigued. The company’s online store features ceramics, art prints, and textiles in eye-popping, modern colors and designs – a far cry from the normally neutral/muted color schemes that most “green” products wear in an attempt to reassure the consumer that the product is, in fact, … Read entire article »

Buying a Cow (or part of one)
In February we are enjoying our One Small Change at dinner time, mostly. In January we purchased an eighth of a “locally grown” cow.

Anyhow, I was very excited when our friends Ashlee & Rodney offered us the opportunity to get a portion of a cow from their family’s cow. At first, I was concerned about how much space that much … Read entire article »

Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergent
The One Small Change initiative is starting back up again.

I’m hoping to do a post to recap the “One Small Changes” we made in 2010, but in case I don’t get it done, here’s a link to all of the One Small Change Posts. I’d like to formally … Read entire article »
