This is crazy stuff, man! As a kid I was so afraid of the plague, yeah a bit odd I know. I couldn’t even watch stuff about it. But this, this is real. One reason I am a vegetarian  is the conditions of commercial farms. This started because of the, ummm not so hygienic conditions at these farms. And now people mostly those from 20-40 are dying. So people can have cheap bacon???



Want a free copy of Confessions of a Shopaholic?

My book reading, besides for school, consists of one stupidly cute fluff book (sitcom read), then a serious book, and so continues the pattern. I feel like it balances me out. This book is really cute, a total “sitcom” read, but entertaining.

{April 22, 2009}   Happy Earth Day!

Please, on this day think about Mother Earth and the little things you can do to show your love for her.

Why not~

  • Use CFL bulbs
  • Use reusable shopping bags
  • By cruelty-free personal care
  • RECYCLE!!!! It amazes me how few people recycle
  • Pick up garbage at the park
  • Use Stainless reusable water bottles

These are a few SIMPLE things you can do, the more you do, the better you feel…



{April 21, 2009}   Earth Day is tomorrow…

Are you still using plastic bags? I hope not! Not only are they bad for the environment and wildlife, they are everywhere! I get so sick of seeing them in trees, on the side of the road, etc. It looks really trashy. Flag is a pretty aware, green city. I am shocked at the number of people still choosing plastic! For $1 you can get a pretty large bag, to reuse. At Basha’s and NF’s you get a rebate for using your own bag. If I go to NF’s with 3 bags, I get .15 off.

Plastic bags are petroleum based, 60,000 are used per minute in the US, they take 500 years to biodegrade. Where do they go? 95% go to landfills.”Flagstaff customers use more than 56,000 plastic bags per week. The Natural Resources Defense Council says Americans use 100 billion plastic bags per year.” (AZ Daily Sun



One of  THE best events for families, and it is FREE. Did you know you can take Mountain Line there for FREE!!!!! Seriously, our DD had a ton o’ fun last year, and she was only a year!



{April 19, 2009}   What is in your water????

Why, tons of prescription drugs of course! This is so gross! Our kids drink this water. Bottled water? Mostly from municipal AKA city water sources anyway.

And they want to use reclaimed water on the Peaks, which is even worse??? If you haven’t read the info about using reclaimed water, you really should asexual fish are not normal! What about animals ingesting birth control????

I have been concerned about phalates an BPA’s since I had my daughter. I use all BPA and phalate free cups and dinner ware for her. I also use phalate free skincare/haircare for her. Everyone in my house including my hubby uses phalate free skincare.  This is scary stuff man!



It premiers on Earth Day, but it is unclear if it is playing in Flag. It LOOKS like it will be. My hubby is so insistent on this being her first movie, although I am skeptical about taking a 2 year old to the movies. She loves animals, so she might be able to sit through a few minutes. I just may be nursing a 2 year old in the theater!
