    I love the suggestions for making Earth day a family day.

    Just wanted to add that everyone should check their local newspapers for family-friendly events and activities in their neck of the woods. I know there are quite a few free or low-cost ones in our area and we plan on spending this Sunday at a celebration at our local farm.

    If you like homemade and crafty, you should check out Bliss Home Goods. It’s an Etsy shop my friend just started. She’s pretty creative.
