The World of Ground Source & Air Source Heat Pumps
I’ve been fortunate to be in the position to build my own house, and when I say build I mean 80% project manage and 20% get my hands dirty as and when I can. I decided that building in the 21st century meant that I could and should embrace all things sustainable, which includes looking at renewable energy and examining the options.
Last fall I had a chance to try out some Jambu hiking boots - loved them! I was out hiking in them again today. What I enjoy about them is that they are snug on my feet yet work well around my bunions. If you have bunions, you understand why this is an issue. Hiking boots need to be snug but snug footwear around bunions can be painful. My family and I went hiking today, my husband pointed to my feet and said, “Still love your boots?” Yup! Just enough give, yet still a firm fit.
(NOTE: I bought the Diva Cup with my own money to try out & review. No one asked me to review this product.)
Earlier this year I decided to make the leap.I wanted to try out a Diva Cup.
Today I have Leslie Johnson guest posting on more ‘greener’ ways to wrap a gift. It’s that season – kid birthday parties, get togethers, holidays, etc. Why not try something different?

Top 3 Eco-Friendly Gift Wrapping Ideas
It’s the season of the summer babies—and while yes I enjoy celebrating birthdays as much as any mother, buying gifts for all of my family members and children’s friends this season has definitely put some strain on my purse strings.

Sure you could always just save and reuse old gift bags and scraps of wrapping paper, but there are actually tons of simple items in the house and yard that can double as unique and stylish gift wrapping too. The best part? They’re eco-friendly. With that said, to learn 3 neat (and sustainable) ways to wrap presents for any gift-giving holiday or event, continue reading below.

(Just so you know, I was offered a choice of products to try out and review, but opted instead to turn it around into a $25 gift card for a reader. I have plenty of good reusable items and I would rather someone out there get a chance to try out something new & eco-friendly!)
