There seems to be a lot of great content going around the blogosphere which is why this post seems so appropriate. My mind is always whirling and swirling with ideas and blog topics. I have an ongoing list. I wish I had time to write about everything but it’s just not possible. So, I’m going to share with you some topics that I’ve wanted to write about and some that I just thought were ROCKIN’. Okeydokey?

So, here we go…

Pregnant? Want to work as a spokesperson for the BPA industry…I’ve been meaning to share this article with you that I wrote over at Eco Child’s Play- Then go to EWG and PROTEST!!!!

My husband has been doing so well in cutting back on his soda consumption. I’m really proud of him. He was drinking 2-3 sodas a day and know it’s maybe 2-3 a wk. if that. I considered at one point buying him a soda making machine. Just the other day I saw a post to make homemade soda and was inspired by the recipe that I think we’re going to give it a go! What about make your own vanilla extract!!! Incredible. I love being domesticated and these recipes give me motivation to put on my apron.

I was so happy to when I heard about Aveda and recycling plastic caps. I’m bummed when I have to toss the caps into the trash but like Deborah, from Pure Mothers, I’m also guilty of tossing the entire bottle and cap into my recycling bin. I too, feel like it should be in their hands last.  Join Aveda and start recycling caps!

Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2009 marked the official kick-off of Aveda’s Caps Recycling Program—our powerful grassroots effort to help save marine life by reducing the amount of caps littering our beaches and oceans.

Join the Recycle Caps with Aveda campaign. Bring your plastic caps into an Aveda Store and feel great knowing that they will be repurposed into new Aveda packaging and kept from entering our waterways and harming wildlife.

I recently read an article about Borax and it left me wondering if I’ll ever use it again. I use borax in my laundry especially for cleaning cloth dipes and have used it to clean our mattress. I’m going to do a little further digging…what do you think?

Eco Cutey Photo Contest going on at Inhabitots…check it out! I’m going to enter in my Eco Cutey’s!

My mother in law uses a Swiffer…do you use one? Here’s a few alternatives!

It’s summertime…don’t have an ice maker? I {heart} these stainless steel ice cube trays!!! Since we have an ice maker it looks like I’ll have keep my eyes peeled for the stainless steel Popsicle molds! Sweet.

Oh! and So you know- I’ve been ECing (Elimination Communicating) with Clark. So far, it’s gone smoothly and we’re only doing it Part-time. I plan to write more about our EC journey as we go along. There’s nothing more gratifying then watching your 2 month old pee and/or poo in the potty. It’s surprising and fantastic. I love the concept and can’t wait to see how this will later turn out. Look for an informative post regarding EC coming soon!! 

I know I’m missing a few points…anyway…

What’s on your mind?
