What keeps me up at night? The answer to this has changed considerably over the last decade. Since having a child, my worries have centered increasingly on whether or not there will be a clean world for her by the time she's ready for her own set of 'Mother Worries'. Using household cleaning products with as few chemicals in them as possible, reusing shopping bags and buying non bleached paper items for the house only go so far in assuaging my Eco Mother Guilt.
Here are a few companies thinking and changing things in greener and grander ways.

As you get set to sell, buy or renovate your home, take a look at what they offer. You'll be amazed at things like grey water recovery systems, clean green insulation materials like straw bale and reclaimed flooring materials. These companies go beyond using the usual cleaner paints; they take this green living concept much further to make your everyday existence in your home less damaging to the world at large. Ah! Now I can sleep better knowing I've spread the word and lessened my Mommy Guilt by just a little bit! Oh, and let me know if you use them and what you think of them, okay?  

Hi there and Happy New Year! I survived a weeks worth of classes for my commercial Real Estate and have to say, my brain feels heavier!
 Did you stay true to your resolutions? My resolution was to find the perfect workout place that understands new and old techniques and how to blend them;yoga, body weight, core workouts... In my eternal quest to find the perfect workout and fueled by my new year's resolutions, I stumbled across a new gym - Energy Xchange at Queen and Broadview. Seems that Leslieville and Riverdale are getting hipper and slicker by the day. This place is cutting edge in decor and workouts. Amazing!
And later next week, I'm working on a pitch for a real estate show for TV....we should be shooting the pilot in a month or two....stay tuned!
