Starting Fresh

Back in November I published a post titled "A New Beginning". This post is lost for now, but it basically explained a bit about my family's past and how we got to where we were and what direction we were heading. My husband quit his job in the corporate world to join Hip Mountain Mama and we were starting a new journey to live a more sustainable and simple lifestyle.

I also announced at this time that we switched our blog to Word Press and were very excited to grow this. Looking back, this seems a bit contradictory...that we were moving towards a more simpler life, yet we were trying to build a fancy blog. As most of you know, our Word Press blog was wiped out by a virus, and, although very upsetting, we are using this as an opportunity to re evaluate our focus for the blog.

I started my blog in 2007 and it has taken many twists and turns since then and has been a lot of fun. You probably also know that, aside from writing this blog, I also own and operate an on line retail shop. The shop is my first priority and after several shop meetings, we have decided to take a new approach with this blog.

I am starting over! This blog is brand new and you will not find any of my old posts here. I am using this space for the following things:

1. I will continue to do a Feature Friday each week, featuring products from the shop that we personally use showing personal photos and opinions on the products. We will also offer coupon codes on most of our featured products that will be good for 1 week.

2. Continue with our Tree Huggin' Tuesday Feature. This will include posts by myself, Andy, and guest bloggers writing about tips on green living.

3. Inspiring Mamas Feature, featuring interviews, giveaways, and write ups on business women, Mothers, and other amazing and inspiring women.

4. Personal posts (probably about once a week) including awesome crafts, delicious recipes, majestic adventures, and just things going on in my world. We still have some very exciting news to share in the coming weeks/months, so I hope you will stick around and follow us on this journey!

As for One Small Change....I have decided to create a new Blog just for One Small Change. You can go here to find the new blog. It is simple, easy, and I hope you enjoy it. Please feel free to leave comments on any of the posts there and please link to your One Small Change Blog Posts! If you are currently linking to the project, please update your link to the following: http://www.1smallchangeblog.blogspot.com/

Thanks for hanging in there with us during this crazy time. I am so appreciative of all your comments and emails...it is really what has gotten me through this. Please keep in touch and know that both of these blogs are completely safe and we are confident that being on blogger will keep us safe forever!
