Thumbnail image for Question of the Day: Share Your Back-to-School Traditions

We celebrate the first day of school each year with ice cream sundaes for dinner! It’s a fun tradition that we all look forward to (what’s not to like about ice cream for dinner?) and I think it’s a great way to kick of the school year as a fun beginning rather than the sad [...]

I’m participating in The Switch & Save Challenge, trying a variety of Arm & Hammer products and sharing my experiences with you! The thing I like most about Arm & Hammer Plus OxiClean Power Gel Laundry Detergent is that it does the stain fighting for me, so I don’t have to think about it ahead [...]

Several weeks ago, Selena from 1 Mom’s Mission guest posted here on Green Your Way with some really great advice: Do ONE Thing. She talked about the anxiety that people feel when they try to do EVERYthing and how easy it can be to fall into information paralysis, where we’re so overwhelmed by what we [...]

Over the next couple of weeks we’ll be setting up my craft room — a project I’ve been dreaming about for years! – and I’m planning to register for the Home Ec Online course just as soon as I have a place to keep my sewing machine and regularly sew. My goal this summer is [...]

This may be one of our busiest summers yet, but so far it feels like the kind of busy that we actually enjoy — seeing friends and family, going places together, enjoying all that life has to offer. I’m trying to be mindful of where busy crosses the line into too busy, but I also [...]

May 12, 2011

Privacy is a hot topic among bloggers, especially those who blog about their families, and it’s a fine line between sharing enough to be genuine and real and sharing so much that your friends and family are hurt, embarrassed or upset about it. Today I’m wondering… Where do you draw the privacy lines on your [...]

With the launch of my new ebook this week, I’ve been thinking a lot about the things that hold us back from pursuing our dreams — fear, laziness, guilt, etc. I really believe that pursuing your dreams, no matter how crazy or far-fetched they may seem, is an important part of living a full life.

Thumbnail image for Question of the Day: How Do You Celebrate Earth Day?

The timing of Earth Day this year — on Good Friday — is a little bit weird for me, so we probably won’t do much of anything to celebrate, but I do love the idea of setting aside a day to pick up litter, plant trees, etc.

Question of the Day: Do You Use the Snooze Button?

April 18, 2011
Thumbnail image for Question of the Day: Do You Use the Snooze Button?

Over the past few months I have not been as disciplined about getting up when my alarm goes off, partly because I’ve gotten into the bad habit of staying up too late. For the last week, I’ve been setting my alarm for 7 hours after I go to bed (whatever time that may be, although [...]

I’m a little bit fanatical about keeping my computer desktop clean. I often save files there temporarily, but I clear them once or twice a day. However, I know there are plenty of people who keep multiple programs or files on their desktop all of the time!

Question of the Day: Can Your Kids Be Whatever They Want to Be?

April 6, 2011
Thumbnail image for Question of the Day: Can Your Kids Be Whatever They Want to Be?

It seems like there are two different approaches to this question. This first camp says that our culture is becoming increasingly child-centered (which I agree with), and that encouraging kids to reach for their dreams and telling them that they can be whatever they want to be just feeds into that and is simply not [...]

Question of the Day: How Do You Refresh Your Home for Spring?

Thumbnail image for Question of the Day: How Do You Refresh Your Home for Spring?

I don’t know about you, but I have been anxiously awaiting spring since about mid-November. Now that it’s here, we’re opening the windows to let fresh air in whenever the temperature peeks above 50 degrees, and we’ve been busy spring cleaning and decluttering. All I need now are some fresh tulips for the kitchen!

I just finished reading Seth Godin’s Poke the Box, the first title released through The Domino Project, founded by Seth Godin and powered by Amazon.com to try to change the way books are published and spread.

Question of the Day: Can Your Life Be Busy and Simple?

Thumbnail image for Question of the Day: Can Your Life Be Busy and Simple?

All this week, we’ve been talking about simplifying family life. Although one of our first topics was simplifying your schedule, I don’t think that being busy is always a bad thing. There are seasons when busy is just fine, as long as every one in your family is on the same page and handling it [...]

Question of the Day: Do You Think Blogging is Dead or Dying?

Thumbnail image for Question of the Day: Do You Think Blogging is Dead or Dying?

Every few months, a media outlet or internet guru will proclaim that blogs are a dying medium being usurped by Facebook or Twitter or some other new platform. While I think blogs and the blogosphere are definitely changing, I personally think they’re far from dead. At least I hope so, both as a blogger and [...]

Thumbnail image for Question of the Day: Do You Enjoy Cooking?

Cooking has never been my favorite chore. It’s always been just that to me — a chore. But a funny thing has been happening lately. I don’t know if it’s just because I want to provide healthier meals for my family or because I suddenly have more time on my hands now that Tara and [...]
