I like to take a cup of tea with me to bed in the evenings. I sip on it to relax while reading or blogging in bed. I also love green tea with honey when I have a sore throat.

I like to drink herbal tea to relax

6 Susan Broughton January 16, 2013 at 7:51 am

Our house drinks a lot of tea. My daughter and I are the ones that drink it. We tend to go more for the green teas because of where we are located it is the best we can get.

7 Susan Broughton January 16, 2013 at 7:54 am

It is really good for someone to be doing books on the different ways to treat minor problems with herbs you grow or locate in your surroundings.

8 Susan Broughton January 16, 2013 at 7:56 am

I like the idea of farming in your own backyard. I enjoy using herbs in cooking and dishes and they are so expensive for just a small amount of them that it makes a lot of sense to grow your own. You could really save a lot and make some tasty dishes.

9 tiffanykill January 16, 2013 at 8:00 am

Hi I am interested in doing a farm someday we have the land and space for it.

My goal is to start using reusable shopping bags, more reusable kitchen containers instead of zipper bags, and use cloth napkins and cotton towels in place of paper towels. Also adding natural cleaners. If I won these products would help me because I need all the resources I can get.

53 kim lazor January 23, 2013 at 2:51 pm

I am so excited that I stumbled across this giveaway/review! I was just discussing having my own vegetable garden in my backyard last night. This would be a perfect guide to do just that. Fingers crossed!

My green resolutions for this year are to have a larger garden for both veggies and flowers as we can sense we moved to a new place, to plant a couple of fruit trees, to do more canning and freezing this year, use mama cloth sense we already cloth diaper our daughter (and twins to be!), buy a local cow for beef from the neighbor down the road, and to climb the 2 mile mountain a few times a week/as much as possible a week that is now in our backyard!
