Going Green

After the loss of both of my grandmothers in less than 2 years, deciding to cloth diaper, and my husband taking an environmental science class, my eyes have been opened to things I need to do to change the way my family lives. I have embarked on the journey to make our lives a little "greener". The first step...reduce the amount of chemicals we use. I have begun making all of the cleaners we use to clean our home and our clothes. Step two...clean up how we eat. About 6 months ago I became vegetarian and my husband decided to stop buying meat and only eat what he can catch or kill. We are forced to get creative and try new things. We LOVE it! Just a few weeks ago I decided to try being vegan, and things have gotten a little more interesting. You never realize how much of what you consume has animal products in it until you decide not to consume them. So, I have decided to start a blog to share my experiences with the world. I will write about housedhold cleaner recipes, food recipes, and products I have tried and love. I hope you will all enjoy reading about our journey, and maybe even find some new ideas to make your life a little "greener" as well.
