All things New!

So here I am again, writing a blog, which I'm sure all of two people read (including my husband because I make him), but I just get so excited about things, it's nice for me to put it all down to organize my thoughts.


One of my New Years goals, is to start being greener. I don't know the statistics, but I know the amount of garbage just my small household can make in a week is ridiculous, so I can't even imagine the astronomical amount of garbage that my city, state, or country can make in a week. I do know that we only have one planet, a planet that our Lord gave us, and we should honer His creation by taking care of it, the best we can.


Through a friend, and lot's of websites (and I mean A LOT) I have come up with some idea's that I am really excited to try. Things like, homemade cleaners, homemade laundry detergent, shampoo, and conditioner. That by itself has given me so much to research and try that I'm just sticking with it to try and not get too overloaded. From what I have read, homemade cleaners etc, are much more earth friendly (by using natural ingredients and cutting down on container waste), they are healthier, (again natural ingredients) and very cost effective (think bulk). I have just started a couple things, and am looking forward to seeing how things pan out, so look forward to a green blog post coming soon!!


Another Goal, is to be healthier all around. I have taken my big goal, and I'm doing small steps to move towards it, because of course, we all know how New Years resolutions work out. So far, I have started making my lunches for work, and are taking daily vitamins/supplements. I must say, for someone who has trouble swallowing large pills, taking six pills a day is quite an accomplishment. It's only been a few days, so there hasn't been a noticeable difference, but again, I'm excited to start feeling some results.


Trevor has been under the weather, but he was able to visit the doctor and get back on track. Poor dude, getting sick right as his last semester begins! But nothing I'm sure a few days of taking it easy, and the doctor's orders won't cure.


Well, I'll say tata for now, I'm about all blogged out. Look out for when I come back and post all of the results of the new green recipes!!


God bless
