about this blog

This blog has grown because of a deep conviction in me that fights our culture of materialism and excess and seeks to live a life that serves others whether it be my husband, the kids I work with, or random people that I don't know.  I find that this is best lived out through simple living.  I spent a lot of time thinking about these issues and teaching these issues in college and hope that now, I can share this with a greater audience.  As you peruse my blog, you will find that this takes shape in many forms whether it be cooking at home instead of grabbing fast food, shopping at thrift stores instead of buying all new stuff, or recycling among other adventures.

I encourage you to read more and leave comments and e-mail me so that I can learn more from you!
