Tuesday, July 13th, 2010I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues. I am the Lorax, and I’ll yell and I’ll shout, for the fine things on earth that are on their way out! Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to [...]
A breath of fresh air… and some home-grown veggies!
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010My blog has certainly taken a turn from nature-outdoorsy-crafty-yoga-chick blog to a new-momma-with-a-baby blog, and I apologize to any readers (assuming there are any!) who couldn’t care less whether I dress my darling Maddie in cloth diapers or banana leaves to keep her “compost” from composting our house and yard. For you tree-hugging, natural-living, nature-loving, [...]
Cloth Diaper Dilemma
Monday, June 28th, 2010Being a new parent is an amazing blessing. The minute you discover you are going to be a parent, your life changes. The birth of your child is a wonderful miracle and instills feelings of love and devotion deeper than any you’ve ever felt before. There are so many new things to learn and discover, [...]
The Little Things
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010The little things make a big difference. That’s why you should pledge to do something EVERY DAY to help the Earth. Really, every day is Earth Day… now, if only people embodied that, heart and soul! This world would be a much cleaner, healthier, happier world! If you’re on facebook, why don’t you log in [...]
Earth Yoga: Inspirations for Celebrating Earth Day with Kids and Teens
Monday, April 12th, 2010I recently had the best birthday weekend ever… one that incorporated lots of yoga, wonderful time spent with family, and joyous time with loved ones while we enjoyed nature on a sunny hike.

Signs of Spring
Sunday, March 21st, 2010New Jersey has been getting some majorly awesome weather the past couple of days. By “majorly awesome”, I don’t just mean it’s been nice. “Majorly awesome” is reserved for days like today and yesterday–sunny, bright blue skies, fluffy white clouds, high of 75, cool breeze, green grass sprouting, flowers blooming…. majorly awesome! Especially compared to [...]
Happy Spring!!
Saturday, March 20th, 2010The year’s at the spring And day’s at the morn; Morning’s at seven; The hillside’s dew-pearled; The lark’s on the wing; The snail’s on the thorn; God’s in His heaven – All’s right with the world! ~Robert Browning Today is the first day of spring–Happy Spring! According to wikipedia, “In astronomical terms, spring begins with [...]
Organic Baby Play Mat? A new project!
Monday, March 15th, 2010Maddie has been growing like crazy, and is now uber aware of everything around her. She is just barely starting to reach for and bat at toys, although it’s not yet a controlled and always conscious thing. She is getting to the age, at almost 11 weeks old, where she gets bored after a while [...]
Spring Means Skunkies!!
Monday, March 8th, 2010If you are afflicted with melancholy at this season, go to the swamp and see the brave spears of skunk-cabbage buds already advanced toward a new year…There is no can’t nor cant to them. They see over the brow of winter’s hill. They see another summer ahead. – Henry David Thoreau I found this quote [...]
Into the Woods Again…
Monday, February 22nd, 2010Almost two months old, it was time to take Maddie on another hike. This time, I headed out with my family (Garrett was in China Town doing his Hung Ga Lion Dance for Chinese New Year… visit his blog at www.geethink.com for more on that) to another one of our favorite local hiking spots–The Great [...]
