Earth Day

Earth Day is coming up soon and several people have asked in what ways are we involved. Well, it just so happens that two companies have asked us if we would donate some of our shirts for their Earth Day celebrations! We jumped at the chance because we are all about spreading the news! Especially about our food system, which needs lots of attention... check this out from NaturalNews.com

The Food Irradiation Plot: Why the USDA Wants to Sterilize Fresh Produce and Turn Live Foods into Dead Foods

Our food system and the way it is produced is our life force. If we destroy our soil we destroy our food. Soil needs attention. It needs to be fed and it needs to rest. Did you know that: Each shovel of soil holds more living things than all the human beings ever born. The dirt on soil These living things were created for a purpose and if we pour our chemicals on them they will be destroyed and our food will suffer.

Since spring is here we must also think of our lawn. Think about it...If you put chemicals on your lawn, to make it nice and green and the envy of your neighbors, are you doing a disservice to all your microbe friends under the earth? Try and embrace the flaws of your lawn and find natural ways to help things out. Organic Lawn Care For The Cheap and Lazy!

That's why we are so happy to be a part of these two Earth Day celebrations. It gets the word out!

The first celebration our shirts will make an appearance at is the Green Carpet Earth Day event at the Sagamore Hotel in South Beach on April 22nd. The portfolio style handbag, that our shirts will be included in, are being donated by Ecoist (www.Ecoist.com ). They will be given to the first 30 people who match the suggested donation mark. We feel very honored that we were asked to be a part of this celebration.

Another celebration that our shirts will be at is at the Corporation Service Company in Wilmington, DE. They started a Green Committee at their office and their first big event is the Earth Day celebration. They plan to educate and teach many important things including how to choose less wasteful supplies. They are even having a waste free lunch challenge. How cool is that! We applaud Lilllian and all those involved at the Corporation Service Company. This is the best way to spread the message of good stewardship. Good for you guys! We hope it is a great success!!

This is no April fool

Our friends at The Institute for Responsible Technology just came up with this neat-o pamphlet on GMO's. You can get the PDF version at the Seeds of Deception website. The link is here.

Lots of icky things are being cooked up in the labs these days, just thought you should become aware. Don't let all this scare you either. We never know things need to be changed until we become aware of the problem. Sometimes that is a little shocking, but well worth it.

Take the time and check it out.

Happy Spring!

Yippy!! We can't tell you how happy we are that spring is on the way! The snow is melting and the birds are singing. What a great time of year!

Well, we had our share of the flu that made it's way through our homes. But we are finely all better. Maybe just a few coughs and runny noses left, but hey, we can handle that.

Now that it is spring we plan on going out and shooting some photos and maybe some video at the farmers market and local farms. I think we will start our own photo gallery. Sounds like fun.

Remember, to pass the word along about our kids t-shirts. Hopefully, more fun designs to come!

It's easy to forget

Being so consumed with all of our daily activities, most of the time, we tend to forget about how the food we eat was produced. Now, with this huge beef recall looming over our heads it's hard not to think about it.

What are we doing to our food system and will this ever stop? I wonder if all of us could stop for a moment and think. What is all this abuse the animal has to endure doing to our bodies after we eat our big juicy steak? Does the meet somehow hold onto the toxic emotion? I know what happens to us when we are under allot of stress. Not too healthy are we?

It is just so sad that our society has stooped down to this level in the treatment of our animals. Maybe we should all think about limiting our intake of meet. You know, it's those big factory farms that are producing all those greenhouse gases anyway. I know, I know, it's hard for some of you to give it up. Looking down at your plate with lentils and couscous just doesn't feel the same does it? Well, if you do buy beef or chicken you can always look for a local farm in your area that supports organic sustainable agriculture. It's better than the alternative!

We leave you with Proverbs 12:10
Good people are good to their animals;
the "good-hearted" bad people kick and abuse them.

Feed your kids well! :)

Hey moms out there! Want a cool and fun way to pack your kids lunch? It's fun for you and for your child. I just bought the Laptop Lunch System and what a hit that is!! My son has told me he is not going to buy hot lunch again! Plus, he says, "It's very popular. " I guess his friends gather around to see what is in his lunch each day. How cool is that! It is designed so when you open the box you see everything which makes it very eye appealing. The containers are bright colors and when you add colorful food it makes it even better. Check out some photos of what people have come up with. Photos

This is so cool, even for the moms, because it gets your creative juices flowing. It's like a surprise for your child each day. Makes eating healthy fun again and of course popular!! Now, who doesn't like that?

Enjoy your day today, and eat healthy!!!

I think our Grandparents were right

As I was driving home today after completing my errands I couldn't stop thinking about all the "things" I saw while shopping that I felt I wanted. One in particular was this Sony Reader Digital Book. I looked at that thing and thought how cool! It can hold 160 books at a time! Awesome, I would love to have that! I was also looking at all the gadgets for my ipod that I got for Christmas. You can get speakers, cases, covers, and headsets. Then on the next isle was cell phones and blackberries, portable dvd players,and mp3 players. Then I saw GPS systems, satellite radios and a new thing called a mylo (something like a PC in your pocket).

Well, after making my mental wish list of all these things, it started me thinking about my Grandparents and their thoughts on all the "new" things of their day. I remember when computers came out, boom boxes, microwaves, and cable tv. Oh, do not forget the remote control!! That was huge! No more getting up and down to change the channel. Then there was the VCR and Atari (don't forget that! Ms. Packman and Frogger) Actually, I think I got the Odyssey play system. That never did take off like Atari did. Bummer.

My Grandparents view on all this was probably the same for allot of your Grandparents as well. Who needs that? It's going to rot your brain. You need to go outside and play more. You can get cancer from that! In my day we played games, actual games, none of this computer stuff! We didn't have TV in our day we just used our imagination! The list goes on and on!!

Being young, at the time, I can remember rolling my eyes and saying yeah, yeah, whatever!! I just thought all this stuff was cool! I also remember saying. "Come on Grandma, they wouldn't make this stuff it was bad for us." Well, I'm reconsidering that statement now. Were our Grandparents right?

The things that make me think they were right are the signs of our society today. We are overweight, stressed out, impatient, sick, and depressed. We take a gazillion medications to bring us up and then more to bring us back down. Our communication is based on text messaging and email. Bringing and end to the days of the coffee clutch (woman getting together over coffee to exchange coupons,recipes, and a bit of gossip). Also, think about what we see on tv these days! We are so involved in everyone else's lives with all this reality tv, that we forget we have one too.

What about our environment? What is happening there? All this electromagnetic chaos is causing all kinds of problems!! Is the colony collapse disorder that is affecting the bees caused by this? It's a speculation. What about the migratory birds? I think we are screwing them up too. Don't even get me started about the GMO problem or the cloned animals! I just read somewhere that they are now working on a new GM carrot that will produce more calcium. Ya know, people, just stop being lazy and eat a balanced diet. We don't need to manipulate our food just because we are choosing to eat all the wrong foods! People have survived thousands of years on the crops that have been given to us! The carrot does not need perfecting. Our thoughts do.

I can't help but wonder what is all this technology accomplishing and will it ever stop? I don't think it will and I don't know how much more we our planet can take.

But, I guess what I can do is this. Keep buying books. Hold it and feel each page. Get connected again and take a look at it when I'm finished. No digital book will show the emotion; the bended corners, the coffee stains, a jotted note or two, and maybe a dried teardrop. Yes, a book! It feels much better in my hands.

"To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch... to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived This is to have succeeded!" Emerson

ps. They were right. Now I'm going to play a game with my kids. A real game, not on the computer or tv. I bet Grandma is smiling right now!
