I have a green retail website (www.babygreensprout.com) where I have listed green websites I like to visit. They are in the links section. Thanks for other ideas for sites!
Hi, I've been doing the same. Weeding out the really good ones that have meaning and can add worth to me. It's hard cause there are so many out there. I'll keep you posted and keep checking with you!

I really like IdealBite.com They email me a quick green idea every day (they also have a green mommy subgroup) which makes being green easier when it is done in smaller steps.

- A little about yourself...
- I have two kids, Maggie (11.01.02) and Gus (10.11.06), and have been happily married for almost 10 years (10.10.98). I'm a PT WAHM, although I'll likely return to FT WOHM in the next year. I also run a small (very!) graphic design business, Duck and Goose Designs, mostly making birth announcements, holiday cards, photo collages etc. You can see my work at www.duckandgoosedesigns.com.
I've recently given up sugar...permanently. I'm a sugar addict, and I figure that like an addict of anything else, the only solution is 100% abstention. So although I eat fruit and a couple of other naturally occurring sugars, I've given up all desserts and sweet snacks. Amazingly, I haven't had a single binge since. I had no idea the correlation between the two was so strong. I've officially been sugar free since June 23, 2008. I keep a more personal blog about that at sugarfreeforever.wordpress.com. WARNING: It's not pretty. This is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, and I'm brutally honest.
My other (happier!) interests include natural/green living, natural parenting, everything Irish, reading and cooking.

I have mastitis
Could the universe crap on me anymore? It's not like I don't have enough on my plate. In addition to the big stuff - it looks like Nate's vision is not going to last much longer - we also have company coming tomorrow (MIL at that) and 2 birthdays in the next 3.5 weeks. And Christmas already looming. And we are BROKE. And work is stressing me out. And...
But back to the mastitis. The best part is how I got it. Because my almost-2-year old ACTUALLY slept 9 straight hours on Sun night, instead of… Continue

Tough times 'round here
I'm so stressed. My DH has a genetic condition that leads to many medical problems. (Google Von Hippel Lindau if you're interested.) Right now, his eyes are the big issue. He's blind in one, but the other was always great until it went rapidly downhill in 2006 due to a detaching retina. He ended up having surgery in 1/2007. We thought it was all "fixed" and we were done with it and we could stop freaking out about him possibly going blind. Until the retina detached again very suddenly in July. :… Continue

Why I’m not on Twitter Moms as much as I want to be
Because computers suck! We got a new one back in January, and it has this fun little bug where certain websites always crash the internet. I literally can’t view those sites, or my ‘net crashes so hard that the only way to get it back is to reboot. Among the sites I can’t view: SmugMug, Diaper Swappers, CNN, etc. Well, guess what other site is on that list? You got it…Twitter Moms!

I'm a blogging fool today
I am SUCH a hot and cold, all or nothing type person. I can go a week or more without blogging, and then I'll have days like today where I blog 4 times! Check out my ruminations on living sugar free:
Sugar Free Forever
And if you're new to my blog (as I suspect most everyone here is), you can find out what precipated this whole thing and what exactly I'm doing if you read this handful of posts from when I first started blogging:… Continue
