Getting back on track

The intended use of this blog was to track the progression of my attempts to become more healthy and lead a more sustainable life. Which as you can see by the previous posts has started to fall by the way-side.

I'm trying to get back on track, and am doubling my efforts (as small as they may be starting out) to clean up our act a bit. ^_^

I've already gathered instructions on how to make my own cleaning supplies, air fresheners, and wood polish for my house from what's in my kitchen. I still need to pick up some essential oils, and maybe one other product, but other than that we already own the rest of the ingredients.

I've also started composting (sadly not for myself, we don't have a garden-_-) for a friend, and I enjoy finding a use for these items (kitchen scraps, coffee grounds) rather than just throwing them away or washing them down the drain. Not to mention our friend is getting compost for free for her amazing garden! ^_^

In the coming month I should have a "Greening our house and lifestyles" plan all set out for us and our cats. The hardest part is changing our lives to fit our products, instead of the other way around. It's a very eye opening endeavor, and I am enjoying the research and information gathering it has lead me to; as well as the on-line communities and many helpful blogs out there.

Onward to a healthy planet for our healthy children!!! >.<

Back from a wonderful vacation~

You know, there's not much difference once your married versus when you weren't. I thought (as most people do) that marriage is a life changing event. Honestly, we're still the same people we were before we got married, except for a slight something that wasn't there before.

I'm not too sure how to explain it except that there is this feeling of complete wholeness you get once you have found and vowed to stay with the person you love the most for the rest of your life.

I mean, we figured we'd spend the rest of our lives together anyways; but now that we're married it's like I've lost my sense of loss. (That totally doesn't make sense! >.<) What I'm trying to say is, I'd assumed we'd always be together, but now I know we'll always be together.

It's a wonderful feeling to feel complete.

YOU COMPLETE ME STEVEN AND I LOVE YOU!!! ^0^
