We Get to Drive a Leaf!

We Get to Drive a Leaf!

When Nissan announced the launch of their 100% electric car, the Leaf, I was pretty excited.  I love the idea of a car that requires no gas (who doesn’t?) and I even like the look of the vehicle. The Nissan Leaf has some pretty impressive features when compared to the other “electric hybrids” currently available. We talked about whether it was feasable to own such a vehicle here in Little Rock, whether carseats would fit … Read entire article »

Eversave Deal: Kiwi Magazine

Eversave Deal: Kiwi Magazine

I don’t get to read magazines often, but when I do, I usually go with Kiwi Magazine. Kiwi features natural, organic and green parenting advice on nutrition, fitness, pets, eco-crafts and more.  Kiwi is a bi-monthly magazine, which I like because it gives me more time to read each issue without my “to-read” pile stacking up. Kiwi also has some great online features, including free webinars (I linked up for “Planning Green Birthday Parties” earlier … Read entire article »

Reusable Bags are better than plastic bags … Read entire article »
