I don’t know if it is just me, but I seem to have this fixation about toilet paper. I cannot live without my stash of toilet paper – I always have to have extra in case I run out. Same thing with paper towels for the kitchen. More than quantity, however, I [...]
I bet that shopaholics never thought that they would ever hear this, but yes, shopping online is something that is GOOD. I am talking about something more than saving money and being able to shop at great convenience. Have you ever thought about the fact that shopping online can actually be good for [...]
One of the mantras in my household is “Wash your hands please”. When the kids get home from school, before mealtimes, before cooking, after playing, after touching the pets and so on. But when you’re out of the house, using water and soap obviously isn’t the most convenient thing. And the solution a lot of [...]

If you have a large family like mine, the amount of laundry soap and energy used by the washing machine is pretty huge, and obviously not good for the environment, as well as our [...]
In changing your ways to greener living, the key thing to remember is:
“little things mean a lot”
Meaning, you don’t have to go out marching in Washington or move your family to a yurt in the wilderness to save the earth.
Take your weekly trips to the grocery store, for instance. Just by being aware of what [...]
If you still haven’t gotten your little ones the “big” Christmas present from the man in the big red suit, or from you and Dad, here a wonderful one I wish I did get this year (unfortunately I’m an early shopper when it comes to Christmas – but this will definitely be on my list [...]
Before you think I’ve gone absolutely mad in suggesting you bring home an actual baby veal to be placed under the tree, let me explain that I’m talking about farm animal adoption, which is a great gift idea for your animal-loving and vegetarian friends and family.
