This site discusses issues relevant to modern families trying to remove themselves from the traditional rat race by scaling back and trying to live a green, simple, and authentic life...without smelling like patchouli oil or resorting to raw-only foods!
I am so not a niche blogger. I touch on issues relating to productivity, politics, sobriety and recovery, knitting, technology, modern motherhood, wls (gastric bypass), business and marketing, education, ADHD, spirituality, music, and craft.
My other sites on the Web include my Green Irene Independent Eco-Consulting Practice, my Facebook profile, my LinkedIn profile, FriendFeed, and, of course, Twitter or my eco-consulting Twitter feed.
