Whenever I hear the word "detox", I conjure up all sorts of images of healthy and unhealthy--narcotics, taking 40 pills a day to cleanse your body, drinking juices for a week, fasting, saunas, all sorts of things. And for most of my life, I've steered clear of any book, principle, or idea ... Comment - Like

And on the day we celebrate the Earth, it rained here in Missouri. And when it wasn't raining, it was gloomy and doom-y. So unfortunately, I kept my windows shut and cleaned my house with plant-based, biodegradable cleaners and cloth rags instead--a trade-off for the glorious d... Comment - Like

Buying curtains! Probably not the answer you'd most likely see, but in this case, my boyfriend's Mom has Tuesdays off and graciously offered to help us with curtains. I, having never had to pick out more that the window treatments for my own teenage bedroom (they were Mardi Gras ... Comment - Like

Most people do thousands of small tasks a day--make this one count. Instead of stalking one more person on Facebook, take 30 seconds to sign Jamie Oliver's petition for better food in our schools.
And if you don't know who Jamie is, or why reforming school lunch (and breakf... Comment - Like

I remember being a kid and seeing a commercial on TV for plastic. I don't remember who put it out, or why, but the jist of it was showing a bunch of different scenarios where plastic was revolutionary and saved lives or improved the quality of life. Plastic water bottles bringing fre... Comment - Like

I used to be a country girl through and through for many, many years. That being said, I've gone soft since high school. College was definitely more about procrastinating, whining that the AC wasn't on, and complaining when I had to hike from the dorm to a parking spot. But... Comment - Like

I am so tired today! This weekend was the annual city-wide garage sale, and originally our household had elected not to participate. Denton was supposed to be gone all weekend, and there was no way I was doing it myself--but as it turned out, his plans got canceled earlier this week and we wer... Comment - Like

Confession time: I love coupons. That may not seem like much of a confession...coupons save money and sometimes allow us to buy a brand that's normally too expensive. But, I LOVE coupons. Even in college, I used to buy a Sunday paper simply to read the comics and clip coupons.&... Comment - Like

So, admittedly, living with a person who's on a green mission has it's ups and downs. I can only guess what goes through my boyfriend's head when I say things like "Don't throw that away!" as he's dropping something into a trash can, or "Read the label!" when it comes to fo... Comment - Like

Arguably, the purchase of a house is a big step in life--filled with responsibilities, problems, joys and pains. It's a huge step for my boyfriend to be doing it at 23, but when the price is right, kids are absent, and you've got the time and money to work towards making it a better an... Comment - Like

Back before the big house move, I watched the pilot episode for a TV show called Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution (also a cookbook of a similar name). I, loving things that involve British chefs and change, was excited to see what could be done for one town's bad food rap (and a large portion ... Comment - Like

If I could, I would love to just block out the last 4 days from my life and pretend like they never happened--that magic moving fairies came in the night and all my stuff appeared in my new house. As I type, I'm surrounded by boxes and furniture and bags (oh my)...all that need to be unpac... Comment - Like

I should really be packing, but I couldn't help sharing with someone just how excited I now am about moving into a new house! I got to walk through it for the first time a little bit ago, and I'm in love. The pictures I saw when Denton bought it did not give the place justice.&nb... Comment - Like

Ahh Monday...it's the start of my last week in my cruddy, dis-likable rental house!! Which, of course, means I'm scrambling like crazy to get everything into boxes, labeled, and/or ready to be moved. It's a daunting task, but I'm a moving pro--this will be my 10th move in... Comment - Like

I spent my day shoveling rocks. At first thought, that sounds horrible. And in fact, when my boyfriend's Mom called and asked me if I'd be willing to do it (for money, though honestly, I'd probably have done it for the sake of being helpful), the first impulse that ran throug... Comment - Like
