I LOVE cooking blogs, and the fact that she's a copywriter (which is what I do) is icing on the cake! Thanks so much for sending her blog along; I'm bookmarking it, and am now following her on Twitter. I'm sure I'll get some great recipes from her! Karen,

She writes weekly menus with recipes every Monday on her blog. She also posted about composting and having a eco-friendly kitchen. http://www.copywriterskitchen.com/ Let me know what you think about her blog. Hi Heather,

I'm very behind on replying to comments (I've been away visiting family since last Wednesday) so I'm sorry about that! Allison, I would love to hear more about your homemade vermicompost bin! I've been playing with the idea of making my own to save money, but it seems as if homemade ones would be hard to empty, and hard to drain. Have you found this to be true with yours? Stephen, I hear you on enjoying summer. Summer is my favorite time of year, and I'm definitely going to take the time to slow down and really appreciate it. I always work outside in the afternoons (definitely the biggest perk of being self-employed and working at home!) and I usually have a date with my hammock by 5:00. :) Thanks again to everyone who wrote in! I'll be back on my usual posting and replying to comments on Thursday. Everyone,

Doing well so far. I am seriously looking at our trash and figure out how to continually reduce it. I have found other places to recycle things because our county is lacking in that department. i just need to find a place that will take single use batteries. My next batteries will be rechargeables though. I have begun composting as well as participating with my local CSA. Oh and going to the farmers market, reusable bags in tow and taking advantage of local farmers grass fed meats. We have also begun eating organic fruits and veggies (that we cant get from the CSA but are in season) and organic milk. I watched the Meatrix and will NOT waver on that one!!!!!!

I started a vermicompost bin a few weeks ago using a big Rubbermaid tub and it's fantastic so far. I've made a lot of progress of simplifying this year and I want to continue with the "one in - one out" policy as well.

You forgot one thing - a goal to enjoy the summer and every day as it comes. I have a goal to spend quality time with my daughter (she lives in a different country) and to spread joy and green through my websites and twitter communications.

Read your post about them and read your 'to-do' list of the summer. I love your blog. I have been reading about this really neat lady in Missouri who is documenting her building process of her shipping container home along a river. Some really great images. http://8747house.blogspot.com/ Apparently her architects are doing the building too. Just thought I would share, keep up the good work! You should show us your sketches!
