One of the events that contributed to the extended blog hiatus was a minor-but-serious-enough-that-it-messed-up-my-day-to-day-life knee injury.  After hundreds of dollars and a few hours spent in doctors offices and MRI machines, I received a letter that officially concluded that there was nothing wrong with my knee.  Ugh.  The letter was accompanied by a prescription for [...]

It’s one week closer to Christmas and I’ve got one more eco-friendly and affordable gift guide to share.  Shipping deadlines are quickly approaching so don’t get caught by surprise and settle for running to a big box store at the last minute!  Spend 15 minutes thinking through the people you still need gifts for and [...]

It’s my favorite time of year.  Thanksgiving is this week and Christmas is right around the corner.  Friday I’ll start cranking the holiday tunes and putting up decorations.  So it’s time to start talking gifts!  I thought I’d ease into things this week with look at some great stocking stuffers that are eco-friendly and just [...]

I couldn’t hold out any longer.  It’s Christmastime in blog land!

After featuring some of the amazing sustainable gift wrap and packaging options out there last week I realized I had gotten ahead of myself by a holiday or two.  So this week I’m backing things up a bit.  And being that I’m not much of a halloween person (I was permanently scarred by the Pee [...]

I thought it would be fun to start featuring some of the many sustainable Holiday related items (packaging, decor, etc.) and gift ideas.  This week we’ll kick it off with some amazingly creative and eco-friendly gift wrap products available.  And don’t [...]

1. Ally Moon – Trudy Print
I discovered Ally Moon through the last Modern Economy sale.  I ordered one of their sample prints at an amazing price with little regard to it’s “green” status, it was just so CUTE!  But much to my delight, when it arrived in my mailbox the original illustration had been reprinted [...]
