What are you doing for Earth Day?!?!

Every year on April 22nd we take a moment to  help spread the love for Planet Earth 

Sharing the ideas and practices we have for living a green life. This year marks

 the 43rd anniversary of Earth Day and it is estimated that one billion people

 around the globe will participate in activities and discussions to help protect

 and appreciate our home planet. WOW!!

You can read about some of my EZ ways to Go Green without braking the bank, and other good tips.

I think we forget how much power we

have to reshape our surroundings and

ultimately our children’s future.

We already do a variety of things:

take our chic reusable tote out shopping




turn off lights when you are not in a room.

reuse/recycle your plastic and tins.



For this Earth Day, some additional ways to improve our environment and our health:


Conserve Water
The amount of waste and chemicals in the production of water bottles is absolutely staggering. It is a myth that bottled water is healthier, and there are so very many fun and easy options now for healthy filtered water.
It is very simple to put a filter on your tap faucet.





Buy a  water bottle;

different colors for everyone

in the family works really well.








Your reusable water bottles pay for themselves quickly from all the money you save by not buying disposable ones.


Ride Your Bike


Riding bicycles have many benefits. First, it helps with the environment by eliminating carbon dioxide fumes because bikes don't run on gasoline.

Biking offers many health benefits.

•increased cardiovascular fitness

•increased strength

•increased balance and flexibility

•increased endurance and stamina

•increased calories burned


Plus, being out on your bike is just flat-out fun. MOST Everyone can do it! The more time you spend on two wheels, the harder it is to take yourself too seriously!

Have Some Green Craft FUN!!!!!

Last year each of my kids planted a small tree in our yard

and my daughter and a few friends made paper.






This year I had planned to start working in the garden--but we had snow &  

hail this weekend! =O

So that got put on hold and we walked through the house and changed all the

 light bulbs instead 

and then we had some friends over and 

 made some candles from the recycle box/craft box.

 

A little bit of clear contact paper , scrap papers and TP tubes--CANDLES =)

Don't let going GREEN scare you!!!!!!!

even if you do everything in this post--

this Earth Day FIND ONE MORE

 WAY TO BE GREEN!!

What will you do this Earth Day!??!??!!??!

Some uplifting quotes #PrayersforBoston

 Today  is the date of the very first Boston Marathon. I'm sure many of you have been touch in one way or another by this horrific event, my family was in a panic for a few hours because my Aunt and her boyfriend were in the race and we couldn't reach their cells...we found out they had crossed the finish line about 5 minutes before. Still scary--but to read of all the great hero's who have helped is very uplifting. During this time of sorrow in our nation I though a few encouraging quotes to help give your spirits a lift back up,would be nice.

"He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still”

Lao Tzu

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

Winston Churchill

“The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.”
Sven Goran Eriksson

“Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.”
Jamie Paolinetti

“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.”
Zig Ziglar

“Try and fail, but don’t fail to try.”

Stephen Kaggwa
