by Lynn Thanks to Oprah and more importantly, Jennifer Chait at Growing a Green Family, I was inspired to do a post on my favorite things. But why stop at one list? New favorite things pop up every day! Honestly, I’m awed by the clever and fun ways people are creating eco-friendlier alternatives to just [...]
