Why, you may ask, did I choose to do this transformation as a “project?” Especially when the mere mention of the word project causes my husband to roll his eyes and sigh. And my children become super-excited thinking I mean a tree house/fort building or make your own kite project, and then run screaming when they realize the project will involve work and sacrifice on their part.
Well, quite honestly, I chose to do a “project” simply because I am a “project person.” I like the idea of a beginning, an end and specified steps that lead to that end. Steps – that I can do. Give me a list to follow and I can do it. Having a goal without predetermined items to check off? I’ll probably fail miserably.
So, welcome to my Going Green Project. Each week, I will be highlighting a different step in my journey towards the end goal of my project –> greening my house, my kids and my life. Along the way, I will be blogging about my successes, my failures and the cool stuff I find along the way. If possible and where appropriate, I will provide tips and insights, reviews of products I try (whether I like them or not) and things I find helpful to me and my family.
I look forward to the journey and hope you will join me for the ride!
