Friday Round - Up

I've searched the world wide web over, and I'm bringin' you some linky love!

• If you're like me you have probably wondered, "How many PB&J sandwiches is too many to feed my children?" Well, making a PB&J may not make you feel like a gourmet cook, but take comfort in the fact that you are doing something good for the environment (yes, it is possible to connect everything to "green living"). Check out the PB&J Campaign to learn how these wonderful little sandwiches are helping to slow global warming.

• My Bag & Me is a board book written by Karen Farmer. It's never too early for your child to learn about the 3 R's: reusing, reducing and recycling. My Bag & Me follows a child and his reusable shopping bag on a trip to the grocery store. By the end of the story, your child will say Paper and plastic no more! Includes a FREE reusable Tyvek shopping bag! Children can tote on their next shopping trip to show-off their eco-awareness!

• TerraCycle manufactures affordable, potent, organic products that are not only made from waste, but are also packaged entirely in waste! This company is definitely worth a look - they're doing a lot of great things with waste!

• Back in November, we signed up with 41pounds.org. We paid a $41 fee to stop our junk mail over the next 5 years - so far so good. Another FREE option that's been getting good reviews is ProQuo.
  

• Is your mom the best mother in the world? If so, enter why you think she should win the title 2007 Mother of the Year! She can win some great prizes including $5,000 cash!

• Are you coming to The Ultimate Blog Party? It's a great opportunity to meet a lot of people and have a chance to win some great prizes! The party is for everyone, not just bloggers! Check it out!
