    Stay Local & Shop Local: Picnicking with Local Artists

    November 20, 2020 / No Comments

    The holidays are just around the corner, and it’s time to make our plans. Millions of Americans travel each year to see family for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but with the spread of COVID-19 increasing daily and by dramatic numbers, it may be a good year to adjust your holiday plans. It’s unclear how safe it is to travel by plane, and is it worth the risk? Now is a great time to stay local to help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. It’s also a great time to shop local, as many small businesses are suffering and need our support. Why shop local? You can buy handmade, one-of-a-kind products The…

With this in mind I created a giveaway basket with an assortment of items to teach young ones to care for the future of our planet in fun and creative ways! Here’s a peek at what’s inside: Hello Treehouse Goods Recycled Hangers The idea for a giveaway came…

    Resolutions

    December 30, 2018 / 1 Comment

    Another year has almost come to a close, and now we look ahead to 2019. I spent the holidays with my family in my hometown in Vermont this year. Being in Vermont always helps me slow down and think about the things that are most important in life. Soon I know I’ll be back in Raleigh, back to work and day-to-day responsibilities, which has got me thinking- what will my New Years resolutions be? Firstly, let me say that I’m not sure how I feel about New Years resolutions. Over the years I have made several resolutions, all focused on bettering myself in some capacity. “This year I will work…

I’m saddened and angered by the senseless violen I’m saddened and angered by the senseless violence that occurred in our beautiful city last night.  We keep saying something needs to change, but no really- Something needs to change.  #raleighstrong #guncontrolnow

Having a baby has certainly challenged my sustain Having a baby has certainly  challenged my sustainability goals.  I know that disposable diapers create a lot of waste- in fact an estimated 3.5 million tons of waste every year.  But I couldn’t bring myself to commit to doing the reusable cloth diapers.  I was thrilled to discover another solution- @nestdiapers  are plant-based, biodegradable, and I can compost them!  Best part is they’re also affordable.  We tested these diapers all along the PNW this summer and they held up great for our active little family. 🥰
After 2.5 years, we’re finally back to traveling After 2.5 years, we’re finally back to traveling and exploring new places- now with a baby in tow!  We enjoyed Vancouver’s many breweries while the little guy napped.  I was so impressed with how advanced this city is when it comes to sustainability as well!  More on this later.
