We're back from our travels and happy to report good green planning all along our ho-ho-holiday way.

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning in beautiful Callaway Gardens and loved their natural decorations @ the Lodge and Spa. Located on top of Pine Mountain, Georgia, Callaway Gardens is committed to eco-friendly living, environmental education and renewable energy year-round!

As we passed through nearby Atlanta on our way to Nashville, we learned that Atlanta hRead More...

Season's Greenings

I avoid paper. Usually, at this time of year, I send an html greeting to my friends.

Yesterday, however, I stumbled on these cool eco-friendly holiday cards soooo, last night, for the first time in years, I pulled out my snail mail address book and began some furious addressing.

Dreaming of a Green Christmas

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:56:09 +0100

We switched to LED lights for our holiday tree last year.

Real or fake tree? We go real to support the local economy.

This year, we're recycling our year-round grapevine wreath and are using solar powered spotlights. We also bought live plants from a local garden center that we'll replant after the holidays. We're "wrapping" gifts with reusable shopping bags from PUBLIX.

We're going green gradually - eco baby steps are better than none, rightRead More...

Dub Me Now Digital Business Card

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 03:11:56 +0100

OK, everyone knows I don't do paper business cards, right?

I've tried a few digi-card options but haven't been especially happy with the results.

Well, I stumbled on a new digital business card "Dub Me Now" in my ongoing quest for cool online gadgets. I love it!

Check it out - it's the best digital business card (on my horizon, anyway) & the locate button is way too easy. When two people have downloaded the (free) DUB software on their PDAs, they can pRead More...

Holiday travel is most definitely on the horizon.

We have a ton of family coming into town for turkey and pies.

Unless you're a Scrooge, you're probably traveling or expecting family to travel to you for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas.

Travelocity offers a great green resource page to help us all travel as green as we possibly can. Check it out!

If you're a Scrooge, however, just throw on your nightcap, close your eyes and wait for your snazzRead More...

Hospitals and Fall Festivals

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:20:13 +0100

I'm slowly recovering from a nasty bout of diverticulitis and am preparing for Tree Hill Nature Center's Music and Harvest Moon Festivals on Saturday, October 24.

There is a HUGE, GIGANTIC, ENORMOUS divide between the two - hospital and fun event.

That said, for a mere $5 admission fee, you should come to Tree Hill to hear incredible live music all day long in beautiful, luscious nature. October 24 from 10 am - 6 pm @ Tree Hill Nature Center.

September, the Outer Banks and Windmills

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:04:00 +0100

I've been traveling this month and experienced an amazing family vacation in the Outer Banks, NC. There were many opportunities to commune with nature and I was happy to see lots of green thinking.

OBX has a ban on plastic bags now and even the local Brew Station is going green.

We wondered who owned the windmill we saw from the summit of the Wright Brothers National Memorial.
