GoOut2Eat.com: $50 Gift Card Drawing

2009-06-15T23:43:00.006-04:00

I discovered GoOut2Eat.com through a direct marketing mail campaign and am glad I did! They offer coupons that you can text (or print) to yourself to receive discounts at participating restaurants in the Washington D.C. area.

Their site tends to be a little behind on participating restaurants, I have found. But even when a restaurant is no longer participating I have had them still honor the GoOut2Eat.com coupons.

They are currently offering a drawing for a $50 gift card to a local restaurant in their network

Text GOOUTTOEAT and your email address to 32075 to enter.

Milk labeling bill vetoed - Victory!

2009-04-24T00:50:00.006-04:00

The True Food Network just send me a notice that Kansas HB2121 was vetoed by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (who just so happens to be President Obama's pick for Secretary of Health & Human Services).

I took the time to email the governor and request that she veto this bill that would have changed labeling requirement for milk and dairy products not produced with recombinant bovine growth hormone(rbGH or rbST), a genetically engineered, artificial hormone that induces cows to produce more milk. I am thrilled that the public outcry was heard and listened to! Don't ever think you can't make a difference :-).

2009-04-21T02:30:00.000-04:00

On this Earth Day 2009, I wanted to begin my blog with a list of some of the ways we have gone green in our family over the last year and what we hope to implement this summer. Feel free to share what you are doing to 'go green' and your future plans!

Currently:

Reusable bags for shopping - estimating 10 plastic bags saved per week, adds up to 520 a year.
Non-gasoline lawn mower - reduced gas & noise pollution.
Energy efficiency test - how does your bill average with similar homes?
Compact fluorescent light bulbs - they will save you money in the long run.
Recycling - has allowed us to average one bag of trash per week for three people!
Homemade baby wipes - control what ingredients are used on the baby bum :-).
Seventh Generation products - what hidden petro-chemicals are in your dish & laundry products? We have used and love their products for over six years!
Laundry washed cold & combined - lower the electric bill & avoid water waste with extra loads.
Cloth napkins - find them on clerance somewhere and save money and trash!
Dishcloths - instead of paper towels for cleaning the kids and the kitchen after meals and messes.
Fill reusable containers with home-filtered water - do you really want to buy bottled?
Walking to the bank, post office, and doctors office when possible - yes, we live close!
Farmer's Market shopping - love local organic produce.
Part-time cloth diapering - we're just getting started.
Husband takes public transportation to work when possible - less gas, cars on the road & stress!

By Summer:

Full-time cloth diapering - avoid smelly garbage, filling landfills & save money.
Plant an organic, high-yield garden for fresh vegetables - control your own food & save money.
Composting for garden - use your fruit & veggie skins & put them to work.
Hang dry most laundry outside - save energy and have naturally fresh smelling clothes.
