Okay I have been really wanting to do this for a while and I never really went fully into the idea. I would do little things here and there like buy the eco-friendly cleaners and recycle more but that was the extent of it. Well, my boyfriend and I watched the documentary “No Impact Man” and it really hit home for us. We have decided to stop using a washer & drier and wash our clothes in our bathtub. It is one small step into making a smaller ecological footprint and we are going to continue to build on it one piece at a time.

Well my boyfriend and I weren’t trying for a child at this time but in June I had gotten pregnant. We were both really happy and very excited. We decided at that time to get a place together and start working towards preparing ourselves for the new baby. We got a place and moved everything in and then the worst thing possible could have happened… I had a miscarriage. I was completely devastated. I know that I already have one child and she is my world, but I was so looking forward to having my 2nd. So right now my boyfriend and I are trying to get all the bills in our new place taken care of and we decided when we got a little more stable that we would try again (and actually try this time). It is a bump in the road but life moves on, it is hard but you have to deal with it and just keep moving.
