Mom Goes Green is THREE YEARS OLD!!!

Posted on June 10, 2011 by Doreen

3rd BD Yes, MGG is THREE YEARS OLD! Three years. 430 posts.

I always knew I was long-winded but I never realized that I would have sooo much to say… or at least not enough to keep me going for three years.

It might come easy for some but, for me… nope, not always! I’m an over-thinker and oh, for pete’s sake, sometimes I really make myself a little crazy! (In fact, I think I’m over-thinking this post RIGHT NOW!).

So… let’s see. What has been part of the Mom Goes Green journey this year? (time to insert that dizzying dream visual here!)

In my journey as Mom Goes Green I’ve:

Sung the praises of grandparents who unknowingly taught us to be green
Shared the love of baking soda
Felt heartbreak over the Gulf Oil Disaster
Put my “green-ness” to the test
Turned my husband into an “organics addict”
Urged readers to avoid destructive palm oil
Shared a fab multi-purpose cleaner recipe
Took my green message to Suze Orman’s Money Minded Moms
Tipped-you-off about “other” plastic bags
Shared my updated A-Z Green Guide
Contemplated the safety of cookware
Discovered the amazing uses for hydrogen peroxide
Warned about toxic mattresses and given better choices
Been honored as the Top Eco-Friendly Mom
Mortified everyone with the truth about chicken nuggets!
Uncovered some interesting facts about product terms and labels
ohhh, and the list goes on and on….

Yes… it’s my journey. And I love it.

And I have appreciated absolutely everyone who’s taken time out of their life to read Mom Goes Green and give some consideration to all the things I’ve shared.

Thank you for joining the journey. With love and appreciation – Mom Goes Green

23 Eco-Friendly Ways To Save Money While You Save The Planet

"Going green" has always been a part of my daily life. It began, as a little girl, when I helped my mom gather the recyclables and deliver them to a recycling center. It continues today, as a mom myself, when I teach my own children those same responsible virtues.

There are so many more facets of going green in the modern day, and the definition of the term reaches far beyond simple recycling. But going green isn't just about installing solar panels on your rooftop... it's about all the little choices that make the biggest difference. From food choices, to cleaning your home, to saving money on your monthly utility bills and consumption; the choices are vast.

However, there is a popular misconception that "going green" will "cost you green." We're inundated with green products, eco-friendly formulas, organics and mountains of options, making it seem that going green is an investment rather than an opportunity.

Well, I'm here to help dispel that myth and actually show you all of the ways you can live green, keep your family healthy, and benefit the environment without sacrificing anything, including your money.

When you make wise choices to gain the most benefit, relieve the burden on the environment, and save money to use elsewhere, everyone wins. You've already taken the first step. You've come here for help to make it happen.

Put these tips into action, and you will soon find that you can "save green" while you "go green"!
