Good News for you milk drinkers!

Hot off the presses!

Our friends at Food and Water Watch just updated us on the milk labeling rule change for those of you in Pennsylvania. It seems as though they are going to keep allowing companies to label their milk with a r-BGH free label!! Good news!! Now we can make a choice as to whether or not we want to ingest growth hormones with our big glass of milk.

Ya know, the bottom line is this. Those big biotechnology companies can tamper with our food all they want (we wish they wouldn't but it's hard to stop that), but please don't deceive us consumers and sneak this stuff into our food without us knowing about it. Let us make up our own minds. What the FDA says is safe doesn't hold water in our bucket anyhow. We don't know who compiles the "safe list". Do they have vested interest in what they deem safe? Don't know. But,all of us should start making these decisions for ourselves and stop allowing a government agency control over our health. All we need is a label that says what is in the food. Genetically engineered ingredients, r-BGH and now cloned animals. It should be on the label. We always say "Eat the way God intended. From His garden."

Thanks Food and Water Watch for all you do!!

Miss. Apple is headed to the BIG APPLE!!

That's right. Miss. Apple has packed her bags and she is on her way to NYC! She is taking along with her Mr. Green Bean and Mr. Planet.








They have been tagged, boxed and shipped!

What fun! We hope they will be well received!

We had to post a few photos because we are
so excited about their new destination!



Our kids shirts will now be carried at the Playgarden 95 Franklin Street in NYC.

The Playgarden is a 4,000 square foot playcenter that will feature ball pits, tunnels, ladders, bridges and much more! Sounds like fun to us!

Being Earth friendly is also important to the Playgarden. They use recycled materials, organic products and even have an energy saving air-purification system! I'm sure we have all been into an indoor playcenter that needed a good air-purification system! High on the stinky meter!! Good for them! I'm glad they are going the extra mile for the health and safety of our little ones.

So, if you live in or are visiting NYC stop in and say hi! Don't forget to bring your kids along so they can play for a bit! Also, don't forget to pop into the gift shop and have a look around, see if you can find your favorite Green Girl Tee!!

Well, onward and upward!!

Have a wonderful greenish kinda day!

Our theme song!!

Well, if anyone needs a little pick me up today this little ditty should do it for you!

We were just talking today about business and all the things your mind can get wrapped around that stops you from celebrating the little accomplishments. Like we should have done it this way or I wish we didn't do that, or change this. But, actually each step brings you closer to your destination. I think the key is to focus more on the now than on formulas and business plans.

Well, as we were talking (actually emailing) this song came to mind and we thought "This is totally us! We are Laverne and Shirley!" I used to love that show by the way! Especially Lenny and Squiggy! Anyway, this is now our theme song!

No matter what you are trying to accomplish in life just remember to be true to yourself and do it your way! There is not a formula out there that can make you succeed. You can analyze, crunch numbers, formulate, create charts, graphs and all that other mumbo jumbo. But, when it comes down to it, look at what is in your heart and maybe step out of the box (filled with formulas and pie charts) a little and try it your way! Who knows what will happen! Remember it was the turtle who won the race , not that crazy rabbit.

So, here we go... One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Schlemeel, schlemazel, hasenfeffer incorporated!!

Have a wonderful day! I'm sure we will post more Laverne and Shirley clips!

Friends

We just got some new photos of kids diggin' their Green Girl Tees! Just thought we would share. It's fun to be Green!!





What a couple of cutie pies!

We also just heard of more bad news out of China. It seems some of the flip flops from Wal-Mart are causing a bad skin reaction. Check out the Flip Flop/Flop from snopes. Icky. Be careful what you buy! Our shirts are made in the USA and printed using water based inks!

Smile, it's a great day!
