simply, naturally, homegrown...

Welcome to simply, naturally, homegrown! This is my first time doing this so bear with me. After researching countless blogs for everything from how to recycle Christmas trees to how to make natural lip gloss I decided to put all of my findings in one place. My goal with this blog is to pass along all of the great things I come across from my favorite vegetarian recipes to great homemade gifts and everything in between. Kind of a collaboration of all things that interest me. Anyone who knows me knows that my interests are ever changing, to say the least, so the content of this blog may also be that way! My general believe is that people want to be as green, as creative, as healthy, and as natural as possible; they just don't always have the tools to do so. I hope to pass along to you information and ideas that lead to a healthier, simpler, and more blissful existence. Sometimes it feels as though you can never be environmentally-friendly enough, kind enough, eating healthy enough. It can be a bit overwhelming, but it truly is about picking and choosing what works for you. So you are a big carnivore and are NEVER going to put down that hamburger. No big deal, but maybe you try to be a vegetarian once a week. Maybe you are trying to be environmentally friendly but are finding it hard during the holidays. Why not opt for creative wrapping ideas like fabric, newspaper, or old magazine pages to eliminate the need to buy more wrapping paper? Like I said, its about picking what works for you and not feeling pressured to completely change every aspect of your life at once. Once you start making little changes here and there it will become exceedingly easier to spot things in your life that can be improved upon. Its an ever evolving process. But with a little effort and a creativity we can all simplify our lives and do our part. So here it goes... thanks for reading!
