Eversave: Cloth Diapers and More

That’s why I wanted to let you know about this deal from Eversave.  Whether you’re completely on board with cloth diapering, or you just want to get a few cloth diapers and try it out, this is a great way to save 50% or more on cloth diapers and other … Read entire article »

One Small Change: Official Wrap-Up

The One Small Change initiative officially wrapped-up on Earth Day.  However, since the project has gotten such a great response, with several of us planning to continue making changes through the year, Hip Mountain Mama has decided to keep the blog going, complete with prizes and guest posts.  So, this is my review of the first four changes we made this year: January – Eat More Local Food February – Use Cloth Diapers More March – Build a Garden April – Start Composting Local Food – this one got off to a slow start, but now that the farmer’s markets are opening, and the Argenta Market is in business, it’s much easier to find local food resources.  Our little garden in the back yard has started providing a little bit of produce as well: radishes.  … Read entire article »

Local Food and Cloth Diapers

Local Food and Cloth Diapers

In January, I posted about the One Small Change project.  This is my February report. In January, I pledged to start feeding my family more local food.  Turns out that January is not the most ideal time of year to  make such a change.  No farmers markets open, not much being grown locally, and my family was out of town nearly half the month.  I did sign up for the Basket a Month (BAM) program through … Read entire article »
