Happy Earth Day everyone! I hope everyone did a special something today to celebrate the Earth and and all it provides for us.
Today was a no TV day. We tried to use the bare minimum which meant we didn’t use the stove, TV, lights, microwave…and 2 of the 4 computers were off all day as well.
This afternoon the kids, my Mom and I went outside to plant a garden. I had picked up a flat of pansies earlier this week so we were all set. I am not much of a gardener…come to think of it, this was probably the first time I ever planted flowers, so it was kind of hit or miss. I was actually using a set of plastic shovels and rakes we got for the beach! We managed though and had fun, which was the point of the whole thing anyways. Here are a few pics of our afternoon…

I have really been making an effort to be more green. I picked up a Diva Cup earlier this month to reduce on the waste made by regular menstrual pads or tampons. I also grabbed a travel mug for Corey, so cut down on the number of cups he accumulates from his morning Timmies. Slowly but surely, I am making more Earth friendly decisions and hopefully showing my children how to do the same.
