When in the world did I become a frugal green mom? Sure, I do my part, but to realize recently that I “live” it (or try to) was a little shocking for me. The crazy thing is that it’s really simple stuff that makes the difference…not extreme measures.
Over the years, describing myself as frugal or “green” wouldn’t have come to mind. I guess it’s a result of many contributing factors, but I have definitely become both in many ways.
Though I’m still consciously improving and learning the Green Mom part (and definitely qualify as a work in progress), I will be focusing on sharing more tips (simple though they may be) over the next few weeks.
In April we will celebrate both Easter and Earth Day, I actually find that oddly inspiring! I love Easter…what’s not to love? The sacrifice and rising of Jesus, resulting in new life and salvation for all who will receive…the tradition of family togetherness…even the Easter Egg Hunts (sorry, but I LOVE them!).
The great part about Earth Day being in the same season (this year, the same month) is that in many ways it also inspires thoughts of fresh new life and even seems to epitomize spring.
Getting ready for Easter can be a great challenge for families, especially on a budget, so I’ll be tackling that subject first. I know that many families are extra strapped this year, and Easter is practically right around the corner (April 12), so on Monday I’ll be posting some fun tips to start getting ready now.
What traditions does your family have for Easter? Do you typically do anything for Earth Day? Blog about it (leave a comment with a link to your post so I can visit please) or leave a comment and let me know

Besides going to church, we color eggs and make Resurrection buns.
I used to make a big brunch for Easter but realized one year that I was trying to do too much. I’ve toned it way down and no one seems to miss the big meal…sigh…

I’m with you in the easter egg hunt.
We do the ressurection eggs each year but I would love to do more. Easter is such a special time but often it arrives without much thought going into it.
I’m looking foward to reading what others write so I can get some good ideas.
