Is there a word stronger than "love?" Looking at these I kept thinking, "Is.. that.. my..home?"

I was a pretty strict vegetarian for about 15 years. These days I consider myself a flexitarian, eating some meat/fish a few times a month. My husband, a meat-lover, has adopted this diet as well. ...

We didn't register for china (thanks, IKEA), but did for some nice silverware. We only got 2 sets and decided that it was so lovely that we'd use it for our daily ware. When we have guests, we dig ...

I'm pretty sure that I need that to live.

I felt instantly claustrophobic looking at that.

I love the little garden and the cabinets & shelving.

In response to the above comments, I've never been in a Japanses kitchen that wasn't cluttered (but the owners know where everything is). J-kitchens tend to be tiny with limited storage.

We bought a wii with our xmas tree money (and then some). I think we'll get more use out of it.

We just realized, er, decided that a tree was out of our budget, so thank you for the ideas /making us feel like less of a failure.

That is brilliant. I worked as a housekeeper for a hotel a few years back and it was my job (and mine alone) to go through all the bags of recycling and sort it. Stinky, stinky work.

I saw a clip on this on Planet Green last week and have since been working on one/telling everyone I know.

Hubs has me beat- when he was about 1 year old, his older sister gave him an orange and a knife. He sliced right through a tendon and cannot bend his thumb. Nasty scars all over his hand.

I totally agree that it seem very "eco 101." Some of the building/remodel shows are cool, as they feature things I haven't already heard of, but for the most part it's just too basic and uses the w...

glazed lemon cakes (anything lemon flavored, actually)

What is eating my swiss chard & eggplant and how can I put a stop to it? Also, what organic pest deterrents can I use on my herbs that won't then ruin their flavors?

Well said, Alicia R. I never in a million years thought I'd be defending Walmart, but here I want to be. As said above, I worked for Target, bc I admired the company, and they treated me lik...

I work for Walmart and it is just as evil as most other major corps. It is, however, in the midst of a massive sustainability overhaul that is pretty cool. Our store, for one example, uses skylight...
