So this is a favorite item of mine.
I keep looking at this difficult corner of my house in the main room thinking to myself this needs Fire!
I first saw this item a few years back and fell in love with it. It will heat the room/space the way a fireplace would, with it safely behind glass. You can reduce the light, perfect for someone like me who gets migraines some times from flickering flames. But you can also purchase a grill like handle to open and BBQ from your sofa! I just love how amazing and self sufficient this would make anyone. After this past winter, who wouldn't want the security of a fresh fire able house.
Just picture it, its winter, zombie Apocalypse breaks out, no electricity, the love of your life starving. "No Problem sweetie, I'll just bust off this table leg for fire wood..." and voila the most stylish WARM and ROMANTIC meal in your living room.
And I suppose its warm and romantic even if the zombie apocalypse isn't happening.
I want one. I want one. I want one.

Let there be Light
This is the most exciting Lamp I have ever desired.
Lets be honest beyond the original Ikea lamp on the curb that made us cry, I don't think about lamps.
Sometimes people love them on their t-shirts but that is about it.
Here is a lamp that is run on gravity and sand. Those are my kind of ingredients. Solves the whole reading on a rainy day doesn't work with solar lamps. The only downside is the spread it needs for turning, or its a large room item.
Meh, either way as soon as they are available I will be in line to get one.

Hello Two years
Hi,
Its been a good two years and I was challenged by my husband to pick up blogging.
I am at maybe an impass in my life, needing direction. Before throwing down the massive amounts for University he said I needed to blog about what I wanted to do for 7 months and if I could keep it up then it was a solid investment. I rather agree.
I am old enough to be leary of what I personally disclose on the internet, so we'll leave it at, I never made it to University for lack of funding not ability.
Now I know what I am good at, I know what interests me, but I have no idea what to call or define a job as. I went to a few Eco networking events to pursue a career back when I opened this blog. People asked me what I was, or what role I was looking for. I replied with her is what I excel at and what I am looking for. The people I spoke with thought that was novel, to market my skills and natural traits rather then a title. Of course I didn't get a job out of it so....
I don't need a job. I need something to occupy my time and feel like I contribute, that I am not just a mass consumer.
I listened to this mom once who sounded so ungreatful about her son. She talked about how he was holding her back from fulfilling her legacy. Seriously she said legacy! That she didn't want to be defined by her child. That just sounds ridiculous. We are all defined by the people we have surrounding us. We are defined by our actions, inactions, and those who love us. I am a mom. I don't say that because I am hidden behind the children or that I am standing in front of them. No, I say that because it affects every decision of who I am. I want to be involved with Eco Building and I love micro efficiency. I think our spaces should give back to us. I think we should care where things come from and how we get them and use them. I am raising my children to be global citizens. But its a fact I could never open myself up to designing beautiful floating staircases for example in a home. I would always be worried about a child falling. Being a mom is something I am and can not be taken out of me.
This isn't a "mommy" blog. I don't coupon with amazingness. I don't know how to raise perfect kids or tell you what to do. I am not a nutritionist I am definitely not going to say don't eat gluten or dairy. Honestly I would cry if I had to eat like that.
I am not sure what I will talk about, I think it will be about hypothetically transforming my shed/and maybe my house into an off grid (excluding drinking water) home.
I am not going to tell anyone what to do, I just might chat about some thoughts about Ecoish things and ways.
