Raising them green: March 2011
http://raisingthemgreenmom.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Alaska Oil Tax Bill, HB110. Since having kids I haven't been as up on political issues as I have in the past. Today I got an email from my representative asking for support for the Governor's Oil Tax Bill HB 110. This bill would give 2 billion per year back to oil companies. That is 2 billion dollars of tax revenue that Alaska needs going to oil companies who make record profits. The link to send them emails are below. Labels: oil tax bill. One of the t...

Raising them green: April 2011
http://raisingthemgreenmom.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 24, 2011. The environmental impact of cloth diapers. The great cloth diaper change to raise awareness for cloth diapering was on Saturday. People across the world changed a cloth diaper at the same time. It will be in the Guinness book of world records. A lot of communities held events. I debated attending the Anchorage event due to the early am start time but I went anyway. What makes washing a diaper any different than washing your clothes? Delia in a cloth diaper with the dog. This year ...

Raising them green: August 2011
http://raisingthemgreenmom.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 30, 2011. 50 pounds of tomatoes. Sliced in half sprinkled with olive oil and ready for the oven. The helpers peeling the oven roasted tomatoes. Boiled until the skins crack for easy peeling. A local farmer's market onion for the spaghetti sauce. I started the sauce with the onion and garlic. I pulsed the tomatoes in the blender 3-4 times and added fresh herbs. Both sauces cooking from the first batch. The roasted sauce is on the top. Diced tomatoes peeled and seeded. A really big tomato.

Raising them green: Another school year
http://raisingthemgreenmom.blogspot.com/2011/09/another-school-year.html
Thursday, September 8, 2011. Teddy started on Tuesday. Since he was a rough kid at 2 and is still very sensory oriented and a crazy kid I was a little worried how he would do but he did great. He ran right in the class and made himself at home. His teachers reported he did great. He was happy and followed directions. I am excited to see how Teddy does in school. He is a outgoing curious kid with tons of energy. Teddy on his first day of school. Delia on her first day of her last year of preschool.

Raising them green: February 2011
http://raisingthemgreenmom.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. I don't mind winter and like coming in to warm up the snow and the sledding. There are plenty of indoor things to do in Anchorage. I am so ready for spring and to not have to dress in tons of layers and change kids into heavy gear in the back of the car. Thursday, February 24, 2011. I would eventually want to get chickens for eggs and would love to get a goat but I don't know if that is allowed. We have local milk and eggs. Labels: local food challenge. An outing gone well.

Raising them green: Berry Picking
http://raisingthemgreenmom.blogspot.com/2011/09/berry-picking.html
Sunday, September 4, 2011. August is the month for berry picking in Alaska. This year a moth hit blueberry plants in Anchorage, Girdwood, and the Kenai Peninsula. The caterpillar in the spring stripped the blueberry plants of leaves. It will take about 3 years to recover. The Kenai Peninsula got hit first so they will recover faster. What he really looked like berry picking grumpy with an empty bag. Teddy ready for bed. Picking with just the baby on a gorgeous day. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Raising them green: September 2011
http://raisingthemgreenmom.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Delia turned 5 on September 20. I can't believe it has been 5 years since the birth of my first child and that I have been a mom for 5 years now. Tuesday, September 20, 2011. Cora is 1 year. I don't know where the past year has gone. It has flown by. I can't believe my baby is now a 1 year old. Her birthday was on September 14th so I am a little late with this post. Tomorrow is Delia's birthday so I have to do her post too. Cora as a newborn. Thursday, September 8, 2011.
