Happy Earth Day!

Isn't it such a beautiful place we live? I LOVE IT! I'm starting to be teased by friends and family about being a tree hugger, but let me say to you...I'm PROUD of it!

It all started when I was young. My Mom taught me to take care of the place we live in. Some of my favorite sayings were..."If everyone picked just one wildflower, there wouldn't be any left for our eyes to enjoy", "If everyone threw their litter on the ground, we would live in garbage", and whenever we went camping her motto was "Leave the place cleaner than when you found it" so we'd go around and do a garbage pick up!

Thanks Mom for instilling in me the desire to make our World a better, more beautiful place. Now even SHE thinks that I'm a little nuts about some things...like not using windex or clorox because of the chemicals. But that's my part to help out the next generation!

I want my girls to be able to go camping and swim in the lakes and eat the fish that we catch. So I've turned my house into a no toxic chemical zone (or I try, I'm still working on converting Mike 100%, every little bit counts)! I use all natural cleaners, laundry detergents, hair and body wash, natural lawn care and pesticides.

I know there's still more I could do, and I'm trying to think of new ways everyday! I challenge you to pick one new thing to work on a day, week, month or year, anything will help!

I LOVE YOU EARTH!
