A Challenge

Hip Mountain Mama’s One Small Change challenge is a rockin’ idea. One small GREEN change every month for the four months leading up to Earth Day. If she gets hundreds of participants (and she will), think of all that change added up. It does a lot to help with the “drop-in-the-bucket” feeling of doing everyday stuff like hanging laundry out, or using a cloth napkin for dinner. I was a bit proud when I read her list and saw that we’re doing just about all we can do, from cloth diapers to rags in the kitchen, recycling to LED holiday lights. But there’s always more.

So for us, it will be a new recipe once a week from my fabulous new cookbook (thank you Susan) that seeks to OUST the diet dictocrats. Nourishing Traditions promotes the good stuff. Unrefined, unprocessed, grass-fed goodness. Also on the food front I need to commit to finding something other than soymilk for my kids to drink. So sweet. And my candy consumption has been ridiculous over the holidays. New late-night snacks for mama. Stat.

So there. We’ll check in on February 1 to see how we’ve done!
