Thanksgiving is my second favorite holiday, in part because of the food. Honestly, I'd be a liar if I said I didn't look forward to the annual opportunity to get my fill of dishes we often make only for the holidays. But there's a lot more to Thanksgiving than that, and we are always looking for ways to pass that [...]

As a proponent of green living, one of the first things I recommend to people who want to start making their lifestyle more sustainable is to start recycling. Of course, if you've never done this before, it can be difficult to know how to get started. There are the obvious questions: Does your community even offer recycling? What materials can [...]

I'm guilty of blender envy. You see, my husband and I have had our old, basic blender for almost as long as we've been married — and we had our 10th anniversary this past July.

When I'm buying clothes for myself, it's a rare feat to find something made of organic cotton or any other eco-friendly material. As I've lamented in the past, there are just very few brands that serve the cross-segment of plus-sized (read: Larger than about a size 10) who also want to buy green.

There are a couple of things that make a DIY project attractive to me: 1. The finished product promises to be beautiful. 2. The project is easy to do. If a project meets both these requirements, it's a no-brainer that I'll try it at least once. Darby Smart is a company that completely gets my DIY habit. They make ready-made [...]
