Earth Day: Little Changes That Can Make a Big Difference

To recognize Earth Day, April 22, I felt I needed to do something environmentally impactful. Unfortunately, my time and patience kept me from being the good example I intended to be. Instead I decided it was possible to still be a good patron of Mother Earth by just making a few changes with my family’s everyday that can make tomorrow even better.

Toast to Spring and to Health with Juicing

With spring time in full swing, I enjoy everything Mother Nature offers like al fresco dining, working in the yard and consuming fresh fruit. Unfortunately, my vegetable intake is not exactly what it should be, although I have very good intentions when I purchase produce for my family. Undoubtedly, I end up throwing some of it away since I can’t always get to cooking something with it before it goes south.

New Arlington Container Store Kicks Off Spring Cleaning

Spring brings out the organizing bug in me. I just want to run a well-oiled machine/household. Over the last few days I had begun my list of things I needed to purchase to be more organized when I was received a special invitation to get a sneak peak at the NEW Container Store in Arlington.

Oh what I did not realize I was going to have to contain myself!
