My friend recently started getting food from Dandelion Organics and she LOVES it. My husband and I are going to sign up soon too as soon as we can figure out the logistics of the deliveries being made while we are working. And I hear you with the more water thing because I love water, but I have to confess, only if it's filtered. A water filter makes all the difference in the world. Thanks for giving me things to think about. Let me know if you wind up doing the Dandelion thing! I love your Nikki McCLure pic–her art is fabulous.

Guess where I learned that? Great idea about using flat pillows for throw pillows. You can stuff dog beds with old clothes and linens. Guess where I learned that?

It's always a good thing to be mindful of what we already have and making the most of it--better for ourselves individually and the world at large. Thanks for sharing these tips.

Thanks for reminding me of the truth. I feel like without a support group, it's hard to stay the course. We've hit an economic slowdown personally now that Josh is in school and only working part time and I just quit my secretary job (do to risks to my mental health) and am only working part time at Peet's until this new restaurant that I got a serving job at is open. The limited income has made me rethink how I cook, looking more to my pantry and less to what's ready and waiting for me at the store. I have tomorrow off, so I'm thinking about cooking up a bunch of spaghetti sauce and freezing it in small batches for later. It's nice to cook in bulk in a way that won't be wasteful. Anyways, keep up the good work, Lauren. It is admirable! I miss you guys, but I think the Lord has us right where we need to be! Take care... Ruth Happy New Year, to my favorite GREEN blogger!

I would like find a local farm that has eggs from chickens I know are treated well. whole foods are better than supplements, so I would rather feed elena eggs. but, i currently don't have that set up. so, to address what you said... you're right, cage-free/free-range is better, but not cruelty free. all male chicks are thrown into bags and smothered to death at birth, females have their beaks painfully seared off and they still don't see the light of day or actually touch natural ground (in most cases). egg laying hens are slaughtered at less than half their natural life span and the slaughtering process is the worst part. they are thrown into trucks and starved almost to death before even reaching the slaughter house, and that's just chickens. it's all so awful, so that's my main reason for withdrawing my support from the industry. i also believe it's bad for the people who work in those conditions. It does something to you to be desensitized to violence like that. Anyone who treated their pets in such a manner would be prosecuted. Abstaining from animal products has lots of other benefits, like freeing up more land from deforestation, plus the health benefits and the fact that it takes less land to grow grain/plants than it does animals for food. so, yeah, you're right, we need food, not lawns :) then, maybe there would be less hunger and suffering in the world - both animals and people. i would love to grow my own food someday, or at very least have relationship with people who do.
