I am here for Networking

About Me

I am a stay-at-home mom, environmentalist, Southern Appalachian transplant. My son is six and I am married to my soul-mate. We are currently in the process of renovating a poorly cared for 1930's house. We are doing so with constant attention to indoor air quality, environmental response-ability, and sustainability. I will be documenting our progress here as well as additional thoughts on sustanability at home and choices we make in our everyday living. Once you choose to be the change you wish to see; the next step is to spread the word and educate. Please visit my Yahoo 360 Blog for more pics and more up-to-date information on our progress. Hopefully someday I will have a regular website.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other natural builders, environmentalists who walk the walk, and eco-renovators. I get my Free MySpace Layouts at MySpaceStop.com
