Change is something that most people struggle with, myself included. It’s scary because when something changes, we are entering into the unknown. We inherently tend to bristle in the face of change as humans, as we are creatures of habit. We prefer do to the things that we know instead of learn something new and start over. But sometimes change is extremely good, and we need to recognize that sometimes we need a change to keep things fresh, interesting, or even to keep our creative juices flowin

It's uncanny how much cooked spaghetti squash looks like pasta. What's even more uncanny is that my kids didn't question that it wasn't pasta. When they asked, "what's for dinner", I honestly said, "spaghetti squash." They didn't even flinch; they just gobbled it up like they do when they eat pasta. I had never cooked or even eaten spaghetti squash until last week when I found one in our CSA box along with directions on how to cook it.

I don’t know about you, but I simply can’t afford to throw away appliances that are still working, in order to buy new energy-efficient models. There’s a fair bit of hype these days about how much energy old appliances guzzle that it’s hard to know if there really is any benefit to upgrading. With this in mind, I decided to do some research to get to the true story; this article tells you what I found out so you can make your own informed decisions.

When you are at work, it is very easy to spend too much money on food. Many times offices are located close to coffee shops, fast food joints, and more. It’s often easy to walk or drive to one of these nearby options when you are hungry. Many offices also have vending machines full of soda, chips, and candy. Most of this easily accessible food is not good for you, and it is expensive to boot.

In our quest to build more energy efficient offices and homes, builders found that one of the best ways to accomplish this was to make the buildings as airtight as possible. This tactic allowed the temperature controlled air to stay in while keeping the outside air out. This practice is common place and is considered a required step for many green building practices.
