Going Green

It's Earth Day this week and I love hearing about all the efforts companies and individuals are taking to go green. I'm not a tree hugging earth mama, but there are little things I try to do around the house to help out the environment.

Two of my biggest debates with dh are things that actually help to go green. The first is running the dishwasher. I am constantly telling him it is better to run the dishwasher. It saves water. Plus, I told him once we had two kids my dish washing days were over.

The second thing I do around the house is making sure unnecessary lights and appliances are off. I grew up in a house where my dad was always teaching us this. It is one of those things you learn as the daughter of an electrician. :)

So those are things we do around here to go green. I'll be sharing some more this week.

We've had a tough week so far. We are working trying to get Sawyer back to sleeping at night and he has had a small stomach bug the last two days. I thought once the weather got better the illnesses would stop. I'm so ready for that. :)

Hope you are having a great day in your neck of the woods.
