Green Items

OK, well just like a large portion of the world. I like things that are good for the environment. One big thing my family has try to cut out of our lives are disposables. Which means we try to use as little paper product in our home as possible. We also love reusable shopping bags napkins, table cloths, etc. We are always looking for new and colorful items to add to our modest collection of reusables. I especially love bags. Reusable bags are an awesome shopping item to have. I take them with me every time I grocery shop and my local store gives my $.05 for every bag I bring to use. That's awesome right? So in essence the bags eventually pay for themselves.
Anyway, there is a site that was brought to my attention that carries such items. They have table linens, cloth napkins and rings, hobo bags & Quilted Purses (which are both great to use as shopping bags), faux and real leather items and giftable items too. Their site is called Pomegranate Inc. They are a little pricey if you are looking for a bargain but they have some beautiful patterns and items available. Check it out esp. for Spring colors and patterns.

Back to blogging

Well after over a year of not blogging. I have decided to start again. I have had a lot going on in my life in the past year+ and am going to update this blog with as much info as possible.
Here are some things that have been going on since last time...
I decided to change religions, I decided not to change religions, I decided I will change religions. My family and I took a trip to Sesame Place in Langhorne PA, we went to Disney World in Orlando FL. We came home from Disney soooo sick and haven't been able to shake it. We loved visiting both of these places and highly recommend visiting both. Disney I would say go even if you don't have kids...and eat at every country in Epcot. OK I know Disney doesn't really need an endorsement but we really did have an awesome time. My kids and all of us adults. I stopped homeschooling DD1 :( and put her in public school. We will be moving her into a religious school once we move to our next home (hopefully by the end of summer). I am sad and happy about this. She is doing well academically and has made friends but she doesn't understand the cattiness of public school children esp. girls. my heart breaks for her on days "insert girl name here" doesn't want to be her friend. Then the next day all is well again. sigh! I am sure more than that has happened but those are just some quick updates on my life. As if anyone has been waiting for my return with baited breath...lol. More to come later!!
