Ecoholic Body: Your Ultimate Earth Friendly Guide to Living Healthy and Looking Good by Adria Vasil from Random House Canada 2012
Love all of the Ecoholic books and this one is no exception. I am always looking for ways to tweak things in my life so that we as a family are encountering fewer man-made products and Adria's books provide the answers I'm looking for. Ecoholic Body is a great book focused mainly on the body, inside and out. Granted it took me a couple of months to read the entire book it will now become a reference and has already provided some information on Sunscreen for my daughter and asthma therapy for my mom.
Admittedly I'm not as "Green" as I would like to be and therefore far from as "Green" as Adria is, this book doesn't necessarily make me feel bad but rather educates. I've always been weary of what I'm giving my daughter but never consciously considered myself. This statement is in keeping with Adria's comment that new parents are more eco conscious then many others.
As I said I loved this book, will be keeping it as a reference and if you are looking for a Canadian Resource for living a more Eco friendly lifestyle then this book is for you.
Thanks Adria!

Four and Frugal
My little girl is four and has been shopping with me since birth. Apparently she's picked up some of my habits and is starting to incorporate them into her shopping. For starters she knows not to go grocery shopping without a list and I will buy certain things if they are on sale or if I have a coupon.
The other day my daughter was at the Toy Grocery Store and asked if she could use her money to buy a new toy. I said if there was something she really wanted and it was within her $10 budget. At the Toy Grocery Store it is easy to see what is on sale because they use bright yellow stickers. My daughter looked at items on sale and could not find anything she wanted. We then headed to clothing department where she found a cute top. Her first question was whether it was on sale and they could she buy it. Since this wa clothes I told her I'd buy it letting her keep her allowance.
When I related the story to my husband later that day he was surprised that our daughter would know when something was on sale and that she didn't spend her money. He was the one that suggested this post.
