Bad Hippie Mama……

No I didn’t forget about this blog before it even really got started.  I just kept thinking that I had to wait until I could post more outdoor projects to blog.  Silly me, I forgot I live in Missouri.  Land of crazy weather - one day I’m in shorts working on getting raised beds ready and the next I need a coat.

Now I have decided that I don’t need to wait to show the outdoor projects.  There is a variety of eco issues that I can discuss on those yucky cold days, lol!

I will write new posts on a regular basis starting today.  Join me on my journey towards being more eco friendly.

My First Step Toward Local Activism

Today I took my first step toward volunteering locally.  I have been searching for like-minded people in my local area to work with on eco projects and education.  I made contact with a person today who is organizing an Eco Fest this fall about forty minutes from where I live.  She is also being the contact person who is trying to connect like-minded people in the area with each other.  I am going to be meeting with some people locally to explore the idea of starting a community garden in our area.  I’m so excited!  Stay tuned for updates.

After having a blog on homeschooling issues for a few months, I have decided to start another blog.  This blog is going to focus on eco issues and sustainability education.  It will also tell the story of how I help our family become even greener in 2009.

Join me as I fumble through designing a garden, constructing raised beds and trying to maintain the garden during my first growing season in years.  The last time I had a garden of any size, my dad was around to give me much needed advice.    It should be an interesting adventure doing it without his help.
