I’ve decided to quit Amazon. I might be a little late to the party on this one (or maybe not, since Amazon is still one of the most profiting companies in the world), but I’ve decided it’s time to quit buying from Amazon.

I failed! I’ve already failed to do what I promised myself in one month: blog once a week. I only blogged 3 times in February. And speaking honestly, while not totally unexpected, I feel disappointed in myself. It certainly happened sooner than I expected it to. But it’s these times that are the most important when you take on something […]
Growing Up Kinda Outdoorsy While I wouldn’t say I was a kid with a passion for nature and the environment, I definitely enjoyed spending time in nature: I was a boy scout. I used to go camping all over California. We would go canoeing, swimming, hiking, backpacking…I have a lot of fond memories being outdoors. I remember riding a bike […]
