I've read a lot about upcycling, and while I like the sound of most of it, the thought of upcycling some of my old clothes had me worried. I could just imagine the ways the idea could go wrong. Then I found a cool post on dornob. It's amazing how she completely transformed the big, baggy shirts into incredibly cute dresses. As a very pregnant woman, I can't really do any of that right now. But I love her creativity!

The population of the world has hit 7 billion. I know some hard core environmentalists are anti-having lots of kids. That's why I thought a recent post on HuffingtonPost.com was so interesting.

We try to be as green as we can, and we try to look for creative ways to green our regular practices. That means trying to find a green way to decorate for Halloween. Or looking for ways to make as much use of our decorations as possible.
