Welcome to my newest passion: healthy food, healthy living, healthy earth. And thank you in advance for hanging in there with me as process what being "green" means for myself and my family. I fully encourage participation on this blog. I would love to hear what all of your thoughts and ideas are or maybe what works well for you and your family. I hope that this blog can be a learning place for us all.
A little about me: I am a stay at home mom with three little boys. I have always desired to be a family that eats and lives healthily, but not until recently have I really started to digest what that means. And boy is there allot to digest. I plan on using this blog as a place to help sort out all of the information that I am receiving and hoping for all of your input. At this point, I have SO much new information, ideas and desires. My personality is such that I want to dive DEEP into each idea I get. Which I've learned isn't always the best thing to do. Currently I am reading "Animal, Vegetable Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver. (It does take me forever to read a book. Those of you with kids understand, I'm sure.) This book, so far, has been very inspiring. Enough so that if I could, I would drop everything, find a great farm in Oklahoma (that's for you Smalley's!) and start living off of whatever food we could grow. (diving DEEP!) Now, in reality, that is not a good choice for us now. So in the mean time I am going to take another stab at the ole' garden and see what I can produce in our little backyard. That is basically my starting point. Hopefully I will learn and grow. I invite you to join me as I do so and I hope to pass along what I learn. Instead of throwing all of my thoughts at you in this first post, and probably scaring you off, I will update periodically with all of my ramblings. Again, this is an open invite to everyone and anyone who has any great thoughts or ideas about "Growing Green".
Thanks in advance and I hope you enjoy the ride!!!!!
Oh, and I do plan on and can't wait to see Food Inc. and to read Omnivore's Dilemma. Any other great suggestions?
