By now I’m sure you’ve seen the incredible photos coming out of Texas due to icestorms, freezing temperatures, loss of heat and undrinkable water. People were being told to boil their water before drinking but couldn’t do that because they had no electricity or gas to turn on the stove. I don’t need to tellContinue reading “What Does Texas Tell Us About Our Future?”

What’s your magic number?
This has been a cold February here in New Hampshire. Cold and snowy and Februarish and I’m not complaining in the slightest. But this month has been a test of our magic number, so I think it’s time we talk about it. Our magic number is 63. That is, we set our downstairs thermostat toContinue reading “What’s your magic number?”
Do You Participate in Politics?
(Short on time? Skip down to the “Action Here” section.) I was never a hugely political person. Sure, I always voted (anyone else get teary as they “pull the lever”?) and knew who the major players were, but I rarely paid attention to the day-to-day workings. Until November 2016 happened. I remember watching the newsContinue reading “Do You Participate in Politics?”

***Short on time? Skip right to the ACTION HERE paragraph to learn how to voice your opinion tomorrow! A few years ago, my iPhone stopped charging. It was a very old phone (inherited from my mom) and I suspected the battery might have died. I brought it into Best Buy, waited in the Geek line,Continue reading “Right to REPAIR! Make your voice heard TODAY!”
How Was Your Week?
Pretty good week here, all things considered. I’m happy that the weather is seasonally cold and even managed to ski and sled a bit this week. Winter sports can really help you get through January and February. A perfect day for me involves some kind of outside, physical activity, followed by resting and relaxing withContinue reading “How Was Your Week?”
Guest Post! Rachel’s Husband Talks About His “So-Called Eco Life”
I don’t know when it first started. It may have been the scratchy toilet paper. Maybe it was the Seventh Generation baby wipes or suddenly not being able to find the paper towels. It could have been going from the Vanity Fair napkins to the big stack of cloth napkins on the kitchen table. Perhaps itContinue reading “Guest Post!

There’s a lot of hype right now around Tom Brady and rightfully so. He is considered by many to be the best quarterback of all time. He has many records and achievements under his belt. He is also the oldest player to be named Super Bowl MVP and win a Super Bowl as the startingContinue reading “Tom Brady is (almost) vegan!”
Save our Marsh! Attend the Concord Hearing TODAY
We received an email yesterday from a reader letting us know that the Hoit Road Marsh Wildlife Management Area in Concord is in danger. NH House Bill 571 seeks to repeal recent prohibition of OHRV use on the Marsh, opening the vulnerable ecosystem up to motorcycles and other motorized vehicles. There will be a hearing on HBContinue reading “Save our Marsh! Attend the Concord Hearing TODAY”
Kids Books: Historical Novels
I’ve shared on here that the girls and I have been listening to a lot of audio books. After a few too many turns of Ivy and Bean (nothing against that series, but it gets old after the tenth time), I put my foot down and insisted we try something else. I had never readContinue reading “Kids Books: Historical Novels”
