Brrrr!!  Are you still remembering to get the kids outside even as the weather becomes less than desirable?  GreenHour.org continues to do a great job inspiring parents to get their nature-deficient little ones to reconnect with Mother Nature.

The activity this week is to create a Nature Table in your home and you can check out the snazzy little widget below to see what’s current on the Green Hour Blog.

Tell me I’m not the only one in the world who needs a giggle and a laugh to start off the day.  Be happy everyone and think Peace!  You may just find yourself very inspired.

Spread the Word.

Video:  Old Fat Naked Women for Peace by The Righteous Mothers

My very own mother sent me this video.  It’s really fun and listen carefully for all the great messages.  Speaking as a 36 week pregnant Mama, I think nudity could be so persuasive at this point.  Knock it off or Sadie will take it off…

With or without helium, remember to say NO to plastic bags and use a reusable cloth tote instead.

Be green!

Another item to add to your Lead List is car keys!

I was just over at one of my favorite blogs, Green Talk, who had an interesting video about the amount of lead that are in keys, with the reminder that there isn’t ever a safe level.  Honestly, I never really thought about the amount of lead they put in keys, but NOW as I am thinking of my daughter who just as of yesterday was dragging daddy’s keys around the room, it’s on my mind.  What the hell - car keys!?!

So many people let their kids play with car keys, as it truly is an effective way to get them to stay occupied in the grocery cart while they wait in line to pay for their organic munchies.  I guess this is a huge NO NO.  Do not let the babes put those keys in their hands or mouths!  It also sucks to hear that most women have lead dust on the bottom of their purses since we toss our keys in there.

What a drag.  It’s not like we can really forgo the car keys.

Really - Why would you?

It’s not like voting really matters or anything, so screw it!  You have WAY better things to do…

Anyone picking up on my sarcasm yet or do you think All Natural Me is a blatant anti-voter?

Pssshhh - Watch the video! Of course I’m joking, I’ll be voting my heart out on Election Day and I hope you do the same.  And I almost don’t want to ask, but do you know who you are voting for?

Share your thoughts.  Much love!

The green idea at the All Natural Me Etsy Shop this month is to give something a little less edible than candy this Halloween.  Spooky recycled crayons!  Just go ahead and try to eat them.

Then color yourself scared with these creepy coloring pages courtesy of The Dreg.

Half Boy - Half Monster Coloring Page
Hairy Cyclops Coloring Page
Halloween Jack O Lantern Coloring Page
Mr. Google Eyes Coloring Page
Horned Octopus Coloring Page

Much love and Thanks to Dreg who thoughtfully made something for everyone.  My favorite is the Horned Octopus!

All Natural Me creepiness also spread its way over to Sweet Figments, who graced Sadie with a feature interview and showcased her upcycled works.  Much love!

Do yoga from the comfort of your own home!

Finally a solution for those of us that want to do more yoga but have trouble committing to a scheduled class. Some people can do it, but others seem to get jinxed every Tuesday at 4:30 if that is the time they HAVE to do yoga. Better to be able to get your yoga on when you are ready and in the mood.

If you like the idea of skipping all the traffic and rushing to make it on time, then try some yoga classes at home.  You’ll be able to attain incredible focus in your own space and be able to OM your butt off any time of the day.

Heck yeah I wanted to be rewarded for recycling and that’s exactly what RecycleBank does for us good little greenies who diligently do our part to recycle and do you know what’s even better about the program?  It encourages your slack ass neighbors to get on the green ball and recycle by offering them reward points they can use at hundreds of business locations (local and national) to redeem free stuff and discounts.  All I know is that I saw Stonyfield Yogurt and Sun & Earth cleaning products as companies that participate, so I’m sold.

What if we all called our local township supervisors and waste management companies and let them know that we’d love to have this program in our area?  Huh?  Let’s fill up those suggestion boxes and get a fun green program like RecycleBank implemented in our neighborhood.

It’s about time we got a little green kick back for all our good work.

Green bling?  Bring it on!
