DIY Geometric Vases {Upcycled Spaghetti Sauce Jars}

Repurposed Spaghetti Sauce Jars

A pretty and green SPRING project :)

 

If I'm throwing a party, you can be pretty sure it's going to have a casual vibe. I'm not a fan of fancy, stuffy engagements, and if people are coming to my house, my first concern is that they're comfortable (second concern: that they have fun!).

Organic Coupon Package Giveaway

Win a $40 Package of Organic Foods Coupons

A great giveaway to gain some green grocery savings!

 

 

What's the hardest thing about shopping for organic foods? Simple answer for me: COST. Sure, if we had all the money in the world, we'd be buy EVERYTHING organic. But that's just not reality. So until then, we'll have to keep looking for savings in any way we can.

Extending the Reach of Your Recycling

Don't Let the Greening Stop in the Kitchen

Recyclable materials are all over the house; make sure your recycling bins are, too!

 

While it would seem that we've finally developed a successful system allowing us to optimize our recycling in the kitchen, that trend doesn't always carry through to the rest of the house. After noticing a fair amount of recyclables being thrown into the bathroom trash cans, I decided that we needed to facilitate a system for the bathrooms, too.

Organic Gardening with Kids {Green Contributor Post}

Do You DIG Organic Gardening?

If you "plant the seeds" with your little ones now, they're likely to spread the green for years to come!

When Kristen asked me to be a part of the Spring Greening series, I was thrilled. I love spreading the "green love" through super easy tips and tricks. You see, I am a Greenie-in-training, if you will. I love living an eco friendly lifestyle, but will admit that it sometimes can seem overwhelming to do.

However, in reality, living green is much easier - it's about getting back to how things used to be, in a sense. Using reusable products, upcycling products and using them for more than 1 purpose, and growing foods withOUT chemicals - as food is intended to be. Today, let's talk about just that!

Enter, Happy Family!
