Unconditionally. Whether you order pizza, or pick peaches. Shop at a thrift-shop or hit the magnificent mile. I often admire your capabilities, passion, drive and creativity. I know you and I are perceived at opposites, but I wouldnt change our friendship for anything!<br />Both your boys are a delight. And that my dear, is all you need to worry about. Let the outsiders judge, the insiders are the ones whom matter!Corrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777262461669776035.post-53049978841340712242013-10-18T06:49:19.832-04:002013-10-18T06:49:19.832-04:00http://www.greenphonebooth.com/2013/10/feminism-ve...http://www.greenphonebooth.com/2013/10/feminism-versus-eco-diy-lifestyle.html<br />Just read this article, thought you might enjoy it.EMMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900165967124695510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777262461669776035.post-10929911037082375462013-10-17T18:05:36.655-04:002013-10-17T18:05:36.655-04:00I know what you mean...

I have a cousin who's life is way more sustainable than mine. But at the same time we both have siblings with gardens or frequent Farmer's Markets, try to minimize waste or live purposefully in other ways. For those who are not a path like us, some are supportive of the choices we've made and others think we are down-right crazy... sometimes using other words. :-/<br /><br />It's really frustrating when the people who are supposed to support you don't.<br /><br />I think it's right that your kids do chores and know where and how things come from. This will make them much better adults... both easier to live with for their chosen mates and better at making decisions... both strategically and tactical. <br /><br />I feel lucky that I have a small group of IRL friends with similar ideals. But I think you are right, my online community has been cultivated based on similar interests. It's very important to me.<br /><br />I learn so much from your blog. :-)Kathryn Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990925295124938262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777262461669776035.post-72066264631941052762013-10-17T02:03:57.529-04:002013-10-17T02:03:57.529-04:00Exactly!! spot on!! that's pretty much how thi...Exactly!! spot on!! that's pretty much how things are for me too! I'm not sure it's a city v country thing, we live in the county in a small village but for the most part the people I share my common interests and values with seem to be on the internet. <br />I think people are just to busy with work outside the home (hope I'm not sounding old fashioned and politically un-correct here) these days that they have very few hours at home to engage in the 'homemade' life style.<br />Take care my 'internet friend', have a good week.<br />p.s. my kids most definitely do chores, always have and alway will in this family.EMMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900165967124695510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777262461669776035.post-72682807848037394152013-10-16T12:39:27.483-04:002013-10-16T12:39:27.483-04:00I feel exatly the same way.
