Tread Lightly Q&A On Earth Day

Happy Earth Day! I had a hard time deciding what to write about today because it feels like such an important one. As you all have probably - hopefully - figured out by now, I'm a little bit obsessed with living a sustainable life (hey, it's even the name of this blog). Because of that,…

No Santa: The Christmas Tradition We Don’t Celebrate

December babies tend to either love the holidays or hate them. Growing up, birthdays tend to blend into Christmas celebrations; presents are often combined, birthday parties are moved or sparsely attended thanks to the obligations of the invitees.

Old timer (dog) troubles

Our dog Ellie just turned seven years old last week. SEVEN. I feel like we just brought her home last year. We adopted her when she was five months old and "only" fifty pounds. We tend to be suckers for the animals that are less likely to be adopted (ferret with adrenal disease, bearded dragon…

Microlending and the intention-action gap 

I don't know if it's because I'm turning 30 this year, or because my son is getting older and I'm getting some time back in my life, but I have been looking deeply at a lot of areas of my life. While I may not have a "before I turn 30" bucket list like I've…
