Tip of the Week - Going "Green"
Green Tips!!!
Are we using more resources than we need at work or at home. How "green" are you?
Going green is vital in the 21st century. We can save money too by going green.
Twenty ideas for going green:
1. Purchase local products and produce. Determine fruits and vegetables that are in
season, select recipes that highlight those seasonal picks. Even better grow a garden.
2. Prepare boxed lunches at home using washable, reusable containers.
3. Purchase and use reusable shopping bags rather than paper or plastic. Some grocery
stores give you fives credit on your bill for each reusable bag you use.
4. Use recycled paper, reuse old paper and gift wrap. Use electronic reminders when
possible thus using no paper.
5. Use small appliances like slow cooker (crock-pot) or toaster oven or microwave oven
rather than the electric range or electric oven for meal preparation. For a meal that
requires one hour to cook an electric oven uses 2.7 pounds of CO2, crock-pot uses .9
pounds of CO2 for seven hours, toaster oven uses 1.3 pounds of CO2 for 50 minutes and
microwave uses .5 pounds of CO2.
6. Turn off the lights and reduce direct lighting energy by 45%. Stop using heat-producing
halogen lamps (they can be a fire hazard). Install motion sensors on outdoor lights.
7. Initiate a walking school bus program (or bicycle train program) in your area to promote
child-safe, environment and neighborhood friendly ways to get children to nearby schools.
This helps reduce obesity too.
8. Turn down the heat (each degree down saves 3% in heating costs). Open curtains
during the day on sunny days in cold weather as this reduces heating costs and close cutrains
at night to keep heat in.. Turn up the thermostat when air conditioning (each degree raised
saves 3-4% of cooling costs). Close curtains during the day in summer to reduce heat and
save on cooling costs. A programmable thermostat is a good way to control temperature.
9. Check and change furnance filters monthly. Be sure return air grills are not blocked.
Close fireplace damper when not using fireplace.
10. Say "no" when asked if you want an ATM receipt. Do this at gas stations too.
11. Use laptop instead of desktop computer (this will cut three-quarters off of electrical use).
Turn off laptop at the end of the day.
12. Drink tap water instead of purchasing bottled water. Fill a reusable bottle with tap water.
13. Shop in bulk rather than purchasing individually wrapped servings.
14. Walk or ride a bicycle rather than choosing to drive. Saves fuel and money. Increases
Vitamin D exposure (on sunny days) and promotes heart health (think aerobics rather than
strolling). Plus you will have fun.
15. Wash laundry in cold water and save 80% on your energy bill and hang close our to dry.
Run clothes washer and dishwashers only when full (save 100 gallons a month). Clean out lint
trap of dryer.
16. Wrap your water heater in and insulation black and save 1,000 pounds of CO2 per year.
Insulate hot water pipes for more cost savings.
17. Become a water miser. Water lawns before 8am (up 30% of water is lost to evaporation
if watering is completed later in the day). Turn off water when lathering your hair during
shampooing (save up to 50 gallons of water a week). Turn off water while brushing your
teeth for two minutes (save 4 gallons of water per minute). Fix leaking faucets or hoses.
Limit shower to 5 minutes or less.
18. Use power trips to cut phatom loads. Plug electonics into a power strip so you can turn
them off all at once. Common gadgets that draw phantom power are cell phone charger,
TV's, computer monitors, DVD players, etc. Shut power strip off at night, when you at not
in a room, going out of your home.
19. Recycle clothes. Cut and use old towels for dishclothes and rugs for cleaning (thus
using fewer paper towels).
20. Seal cracks around windows and doors to keep heat in and cold out. Insulate wall plug
and switches and check for adequate insulation in ceilng and walls.

Tip of the Week...
Time Savers:
Whenever you find that you seem to have too many things to do and not nearly enough time, try some of these little tidbits to help you save your sanity…
Always multitask! Always work on 2 tasks at the same time; such as when talking on the phone, get up and put the dishes in the dishwasher, throw a load of clothes in the dryer, dust something, or create a new card. The only time I am not multitasking is when I am sleeping. I can’t get that one figured out yet!!
Utilize the kids and husband! Loving you is a great thing! Who else would hand them a sponge and spray bottle and say “Go Crazy!” while having a cup of tea? If they live in the house, it should be expected that they pitch in every day! My kids make their beds; clean the bathrooms, deal with the dirty and clean dishes, and fold and put away clean clothes. It’s wonderful! I love it that they are getting old enough to handle these chores and they feel like they have contributed to the household.
Don’t be afraid to give the family cereal for dinner! Save time in the kitchen. Let the kids go crazy and make ‘themselves’ a bowl of cereal for dinner! Or if they are old enough – give them the dinner chore one or two nights a week.
Keep an active To-Do-List: I’ve mentioned this one in my blog before; but it is so good, it needs to be brought back again! Keep it updated and rewrite once too many items get marked off. It really makes you feel like you are getting something accomplished each day, which in turn keeps you going! I have been doing this for several years now and it really does help!

Hello Stranger!
Its been awhile since I've posted an update, but life has been crazy! I've been working hard at getting everything back into place, organized, and 'done'. Too bad that most of my chores never really get 'done'! Laundry, dishes, cooking, etc. All you moms out there know what I mean! :-)
We spent a wonderfully relaxing long weekend over Memorial weekend at a beautiful lake and had some fun with friends and family! The boys really took to fishing and I do believe that I now have 2 budding 'Fishermen' on my hands! Between the two of them, they caught and released about 15 fish over 3 days! And by the end, the only help my oldest needed was getting the fish off the hook! I got some great photos too, take a look....
And don't worry - We are a "catch and release" type of family!! :-)Tuesday, June 2, 2009

Life Happens!
Well, I was planning on listing some items for Etsy on Wed. night after we got back from the apartments that my husband and I manage, but he decided to have a fight with the lawn mower, so we went to the ER instead. (The lawn mower WON!) He's lucky - he gets to keep his fingers, as long as they heal OK.
But this got me thinking about life and the impossible situations that happen on a daily basis! How do you cope with the ER visits, notes from school that the kids don't give you until too late, the dog that will not be potty trained, or the constant stack of dishes in the sink and clothes in the hamper?
I am a fairly organized person and love to admit that I can schedule my family for anything and make it work, but it seems these days that all I want to do is make it stop! I just want to throw the clothes out and buy new (But I don't make THAT much on Etsy!) and start using paper plates every night. But this wouldn't be right!
So what is your trick for keeping the balance just right for your household? Tell me - I need some help right now!! :-)
Take care all! Megan

What a busy time its been!
We have been busy, busy, busy at my house here lately! Besides colds, flu bugs, sick dogs, backyard remodeling nightmares, and windy soccer games, there's not much to discuss this evening!
I should be listing some great new items on my etsy site here soon, including an adorable board book made with a recycled board book. It makes me feel good to re-purpose something and have been leaning that way lately in my creations! I can't wait for you all to see them!
Keep reading for a new Tip of the Week coming soon also! Thanks! Megan :-)

Quote of the Day...
If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut. ---Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), Observer, Jan. 15, 1950
