| Take off your shoes! (2 comments) We’ve taken our shoes off before entering our home for years. Neighbors and friends thought we were weird but then got used to it.

| Does spring inspire you to be green too? (1 comments) Great tips! Our water boiler is nearly ready for replacement; I think we will go for a much smaller unit.

| Foods to keep you warm (2 comments) Mmm … love your suggestions. Walnuts are so healthy .. and stews (even vegan ones) are so satisfying. We eat a lot of soups in the winter.

| Can you eat seasonal food in winter? (3 comments) Take heart: it seems to me that between your farm shop and your chicks you’ll be set for the coming winter! I hear that a steady diet of vegetable scraps inspires chickens to the laying of lots of eggs. If you have a slow cooker that will take you a [...] | CelloMom 2013-03-19 21:16:54 |

| Mrs Green’s rather odd confession (7 comments) Ahh…baking soda! How I love thee and your multiple uses. I now brush my teeth with baking soda, taking it for heartburn, clean with it, and use it to wash my hair sometimes (although I’ve started doing double duty with my all natural soap).

| Could you take the six ingredient challenge? (3 comments) All sounds good to me, and I think having a list of easy quick meals for those ” can’t be botehred or don’t have time days” is a good idea so we don’t resort to packaged stuff.
