What an interesting week I had this week. I started the week of with losing a material thing and ended the week losing a person – I think, maybe, probably, I’m not 100% sure but it seems like it (although I hope not). Ironically enough losing the person made all the material loss so incredibly unimportant which really made me realize how little material things really mean.

Impact of TV Watching on Kids: Study

I posted the following story on my blog Mommy's Point of View and wanted to share with you as well.

According to a study published in the May issues of the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine and the Archives of General Psychiatry explains that the American Academy of Pediatrics discourages any television watching for children before the age of 2 and recommends no more than two hours per day in older children.

Save Both Money and Water by Installing a Rain Barrel

Many people spend hundreds of dollars each summer watering their lawns. However, had they installed a simple rain barrel they could have saved both money and water. One half-inch of rain on a 1,000-square-foot roof yields approximately 300 gallons of water. More specifically, 300 gallons of FREE water!
