Stuff!?


So, I thought I was doing enough. Then I watched this movie. I'm not going to even try to tell you why to watch it. JUST DO IT. Watch it. Then if you have children in the house, make them watch it with you. Send it to your family and your friends. Agree or disagree. Believe it or ask lots of questions. Either way you come at it...it is a conversation starter for sure.
More on this later...

Celebrate Mommy Earth!


I hope everyone found their own way to celebrate Mommy Earth today! E found her own way to celebrate. We're going to post her beautiful banner at home in the hallway as a constant reminder to be good to our planet.

I work part-time at our local Planetarium. How many people get to a) say that they have a local planetarium and b) get the chance to operate one? I never found Science to be that interesting as a child - I was an English major. Biology who? But, I took astronomy in college and now as an adult with small children I watch the star shows in awe. We have a lovely planet. Please let's take care of her. But most importantly, let's TEACH our children to take care of her. After all, it belongs to them now, right?

I was doing some work for an eco-friendly online boutique that will soon start to sell my stationery (yeah!) and found a quote to use that I've just fallen in love with:

Take Nothing But Pictures.
Leave Nothing But Footprints.
Kill Nothing But Time.

Grand in theory, I know. But if you just try to put a little of that into practice each day - imagine what we can accomplish!
