Mother Nature stopped by this week and left her mark. It’s been a very strange week indeed. We (along with thousands of others) lost power for a few days due to a snow storm this past Saturday. In a nutshell, it was astonishing to see communities come together and support one another. Food and shelter were shared. Friends camped out in our home after our power was restored. It’s still messy out there, with debris from trees strewn all over yards and streets. Trick- or- treating has been postponed until this Saturday night to give everyone a chance to regroup. A post on life during the storm is in the works with more details.
In the meantime, here are a few groovy green things to keep you entertained over the weekend.
- Don’t forget to enter this giveaway [2] for a LifeFactory glass water bottle and Bambu utensil set from Essential Safe Products. You can enter up to 4 times. If you decide to buy something from this fabulous site don’t forget to enter the DISCOUNT CODE: ESP3 for 20% off.

Betsy from Eco-Novice [5] was selected as the blog of the week and shares an easy- to- follow guide to buying affordable mattresses and bedding. I also shared a post on how to get a non-toxic night’s sleep [6] and what to look for if you’re in the market for a new mattress.
