Fun Baking Tools I know I usually post about a recipe, but I thought this time I’d share with you  the fun baking tools I have.  These are by no means absolute, must have, I can’t make a cake without them, but they sure are fun to have in the kitchen and make baking a [...]

Etsy

[February 25]

Every once in a while I get sucked into the world of Etsy for an hour or two.  For those of you who don’t know, Etsy is an online marketplace for all things vintage, antique, and homemade.  It’s pretty fabulous, kinda like spending some time in a high end flea market, but in the comfort [...]

My Newest Project Finished

[February 24]

So I told you all that I recently moved (yet again) here, and we’ve done a really good job of settling in (and quickly) as Richie is a clean freak and can’t stand to look at boxes and I’m constantly in a state of anxiety when I know there’s anything major to take care of [...]

Cloth Napkins by MU Are For Me

[February 17]

I while back I mentioned my goal to stop using paper towel in an effort to be less wasteful.  Since then we’ve adopted another earth-friendly habit in our home: cloth napkins.  I realized we created so much waste with paper napkins three times a day every day and wanted to find a solution.  When wandering [...]

Matt & Nat

[February 13]

(Apparently in my fogginess I accidentally published this instead of saving it early on in my post writing, so sorry to any of you who received an errant email on Saturday evening!  I guess I’m foggier than I even thought…) Last week I was a little overwhelmed, overbooked, and over worked and because of that [...]

With Valentine’s Day Looming…

[February 10]

I’ve picked some Valentine’s Day inspired goodies to share with you.  Although we’re not “celebrating” this year, and totally feel like it’s a commercial holiday, the festivities are fun to indulge in. So in the spirit of commercial goodness and eco-friendly celebrating, here are some of the things I’m loving: A romantic number from Eko-Lab [...]

Sustainable Fashion at H&M

[February 9]

While I know that big companies like H&M must be cutting corners somewhere and have much larger carbon footprints than other sustainable fashion lines, it’s really so so nice to see that they are not only manufacturing, but promoting their eco-friendly collections! It’s certainly a step in the right direction and I’m happy to support [...]

Eco Conscious at the New York Gift Show

[February 1]

Yesterday I decided last minute to join my grandmother (who doubles as an interior designer) at the New York International Gift Fair at the piers on the West Side Highway.  We needed a handful of things for the apartment and I’m always happy to spend a few hours with my bubby! It turned out to [...]

Bio Wash Ball

[January 28]

I recently purchased 2 Bio Wash Balls and am loving using them (I actually only use one…two should last me 6 years!). What are they?  You ask.  I’ll tell you: They function in place of laundry detergent and last for 1000 loads (or apx 3 years)!  One costs about $30 and is eco-friendly, easy to [...]
