I have been working on this a little more each day..
Some of the things I have been doing:
making more from scratch. Canning soups, sauces, and chili. Preparing bread and pizza dough for the freezer. preparing burritos and other “convenience” foods for the freezer or cupboards. Making my own cereal and granola bars. I no longer buy pre packaged foods, gravies, or spice mixes. I make them for my self from the spices I already have in the cabinet.
I shower 3-4 times a week (instead of 7-8 times). I made “mama cloth pads”. Also known as cloth menstrual pads. I am also selling them to help my husband pay for our lifestyle, since he works and I am unable do to medical reasons.
I am in the process of making cloth grocery bags, and mesh fruit and veggie bags.
I compost kitchen scraps. And grow my own food in the summer.
I make my own laundry detergent, and dish washer detergent.
I am working everyday to make my life greener

How I did it: I have wanted horses my whole life. I recently bought my own home and decided it was time to live my dreams. I went to a farm and found a mother and colt Clydesdale pair. Once it was time to wean the colt, I traded him for a 13 year old broke palomino mare. The two mares are a lot of fun and a TON of work (literally, since my Clyde mare weighs a ton). Shoveling 200 pounds of horse poop a day is not a glamorous job. But bonding with y… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I didn't section off my hair. I just started grabbing small pieces and back combing them. To be more specific, first I bleached my hair back to blond. I wanted it to be a little more dry and damaged so it would hold the tangles better. After back combing, I palm rolled them. Every other day I twist them until they fold over on themselves and make little twisted balls on my head. Then I sleep on it that way and take it out in the morning. … Read how I did it…
Im still trying God. This is a hard road. What am I holding on to? What cant I let go? Please help me.
Well, I had a black mazda protege with green realistic flames on it, the green lights under the car and green tinted head lights, but I just gave it to my husband (since he did all the work)and now I have a Ford Probe that I am having painted hot pink this weekend (hubbys doing the work as well). Thinking of getting some sparkly silver stars painted on too… or a racing stripe… not sure yet. Something with sparkles…. any ideas? Right now the car is blue with purple pearl its really pretty, but since hubby paints cars I’m gonna get exactly what I want on this one.
