Opening Credits

As a little girl I kept a paper journal where i recorded my innermost desires and complaints. My passions and fears were all recorded within the pages of my journal. At some point where responsibility replaced daydreams I discontinued my writing as most girls do. I married and mainstream life took over. How I enjoyed all the new exciting tasks that required my time. 

While recreating myself as an adult the thought occurred to me several times to begin journaling my thoughts and experiences again. I love the crisp pages of a new journal or notebook and have several failed attempts at beginning the journaling process again. In my 20s, I was a perfectionist with over abundant ideas of all the passions that I wanted to conquer not realizing how quickly life would pass by. It's has been 15 years now since I stopped writing and while I have a mind full of memories, I have forgotten so much.

I wrote a series of posts on plastic free living for my sister's blog, The Frugal Greenish Mama, at the begnning of 2013 and realized how much I missed writing. Although my love for paper will have to be supressed while writing in this technologically advanced world, I found a lost love...writing. Expressions of my thoughts and experiences were down in black and white and releasing them felt so invigorating. Thus, this blog has been born. The subject content will vary but is intended to be centered around my efforts to create an eco-friendly, allergy free, simple home for my family that rebels against consumerism.

Welcome!
