As of last Friday, we are officially one year out from our wedding day! (Does that make it our -1st anniversary? Not sure.) We’ve been engaged for almost three months and that time has flown, as I’m sure it will between now and our wedding. Today I thought I’d give you a little update as to where we’re at in the planning process. Personally, I’ve always loved reading about other bloggers’ wedding planning and all of their wedding details, and it will be fun for me to look back and see what was happening in our lives one year out.
I’ve also included a few more pictures that my dear friend (and bridesmaid) L took the day we got engaged. But if you’re not interested in weddings, feel free to skip this post and I’ll be back on Thursday with more green living tips!… Read More »
Want to know more about the food industry and its environmental impact, but don’t know where to start? There’s a mind-boggling array of literature out there right now that purports to be giving you the straight story about the stuff in your grocery cart–but that literature isn’t all created equal.

What do you think of when someone says the word minimalism? A year ago, I thought that minimalism meant wearing a capsule wardrobe made of clothes that weren’t my style, only owning some arbitrary number of possessions, or living in a tiny house with blank white walls, no furniture and three succulents. If you had asked me if I considered myself a minimalist, I would have answered no.
When I was in elementary and middle school, I was hardly ever sick. As a result, I rarely had to stay home from class. However, my sister was the opposite, and I was jealous (yup, I wanted to stay home so badly that I was willing to be sick for it!). So my mom gave me permission to take one “mental health day” per quarter. She’d call in sick for me, and I’d snuggle up on the couch in front of the TV with some cookies and forget about school for the day.
